I don't think its as big of a deal as its made out to be. They are human after all and have overestimated the capabilities of LLMs. What's more important is that this signals product market fit.
Millions of Nvidia GPUs are stranded in warehouses right now with nowhere to be installed and some will be deprecated in less than a year. Good thing Micron and everyone in the supply chain is scaling up to make millions more... I am sure this will work out fine when they write down all of the inventory which is too old to install
No, the GPUs used in AI data centers don't have the capability to do normal graphics. They're completely useless for games and content creation. Additionally, B200s can consume up to 14kW of power. There are no consumer power supplies that could power such a thing.
The sad thing is all that silicon will basically be worthless.
Prediction: it's not gonna be worthless for games. This is what's gonna make cloud gaming really take off. True, you can't use these as desktop GPUs, but they can be installed in data centers for purposes of video game streaming rather than AI.
I think you're just wrong on this. Stadia did flop, but that's a Google problem, not a tech problem. I play online games with multiple people who only play through GeForce Now, and they've never complained. Especially in an era of increasing hardware prices, this is just gonna grow.
Also, do you know much about the games space? There's an enormous difference between a live service game, and a cloud game streaming platform.
I seriously doubt their actual beliefs* have changed in the slightest. They just see which way the wind is blowing with public sentiment and are trying to do damage control.
*I doubt they HAVE actual beliefs. Their entire job is managing PR and convincing investors.
No. This is a ridiculous take on the recklessness Altman and Amodei have stated. Both men flat out lied, kept lying and continue to lie about their numbers and capabilities. They have literally destroyed markets that aren't coming back anytime soon (consumer hardware). They should be held accountable, not let off the hook like "Oh well, they fucked our economy long term. Guess they're just human."
Literally fuck them and an oversimplification like this.
I'm not going to watch a 3 hour video, but custom PCs are a tiny fraction of the consumer hardware market. Also, the custom PC market is struggling partly due to people overstating the price of RAM. It's not like the cost of building a PC has doubled. RAM and SSDs were typically some of the least expensive components in a complete build. Looking at prebuilt PCs from iBuyPower, a pre-built that would have cost $2000 last July now costs a whopping $2100 with the same components.
There are many humans without any skin in the game that accurately estimated the capabilities of LLMs.
It has nothing to do with "being human". This wasn't about finding "product market fit" either. It was about griftin' while the gettin' was good. That certainly is "human".
Opposing genocide? Antisemitic! Opposing AI billionaire CEOs? Antisemitic!
We live in a world with other humans. Just because someone or something is Jewish, it doesn’t give them carte blanche to treat the rest of us like trash.
It's amazing how any rightful and just criticism of a Jewish person is automatically anti-Semitic. The only group of people with a special label for those that criticize them and the only group of people with a special label for those that ask questions about a certain historical event that involved them. Wild stuff.
Again, that's no sweet off my brow. It's not as if working with a datacenter in canada, mexico, or Ireland is all that different from one in the US. Especially when you start talking about what these are being used for, LLMs. The added latency for a datacenter being in China has zero impact on how I use it.
There also isn't some magical expertise loss from these datacenters not being local.
About the only risk is that the various governments become so hostile to people in the US using their datacenters as to apply taxes and fees on usage. Which is unlikely to say the least. The owners of these datacenters want them used and if they can convince a government to give them preferential treatment they can likely convince the same government not to tax their clients.
I guess there is also the risk of the government spying on the incoming and outgoing prompts. But lets be really real here, that's unlikely to matter to almost anyone other than people working for our government.
Maybe it is about time for Linux to get a real CD/CI and start using AI extensively.
Not just for vulnerabilities, having a nice agents|skills|etc.md definitions would encourage new devs to contribute instead of dealing with an overworked maintener repeating the same thing for n time.
Do you know if this exploit works on Docker containers? And if so, I assume it just allows escalation WITHIN the container? So this attack is scary for Linux desktops and servers, but a fully containerized system like common on CI/CD should be good. Right?
I dont think so, but recent release includes a terminal markdown renderer built-in which means, even if handy, most of the focus is to make Claud Code great. I am not worried though, at least no yet.
Seems good enough to generate 2D sprites. If that means a wave of pixel-art games I count it as a net win.
I dont think gamers hate AI, it is just a vocal miniority imo. What most people dislike is sloppy work, as they should, but that can happen with or without AI. The industry has been using AI for textures, voices and more for over a decade.
It’s really not. That's actually a pet peeve of mine as someone who used to spent a lot of time messing with pixel art in Aseprite.
Nobody takes the time to understand that the style of pixel art is not the same thing as actual pixel art. So you end up with these high-definition, high-resolution images that people try to pass off as pixel art, but if you zoom in even a tiny bit, you see all this terrible fringing and fraying.
That happens because the palette is way outside the bounds of what pixel art should use, where proper pixel art is generally limited to maybe 8 to 32 colors, usually.
There are plenty of ways to post-process generative images to make them look more like real pixel art (square grid alignment, palette reduction, etc.), but it does require a bit more manual finesse [1], and unfortunately most people just can’t be bothered.
Don't you think it's a huge stretch to compare those to modern generative AI in this context? Those don't raise any of the questions that make current usage questionable.
Are you kidding? I think I see more vitriol for AI in gaming communities than anywhere else. To the point where steam now requires you to disclose its usage
