“We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life”

This quote is just... something.

Is the plan to literally create 8 billion podcasts in the near future? This company doesn't think that might be a tad excessive?

From what I've read (granted from other reviews), the limit would be the equivalent performance of 8 4090s. Which means (assuming we believe Nvidia's claims of 3352 AI TOPS for the 5090 vs the 1321 AI TOPS for the 4090) that you couldn't possess more than the equivalent of 3 5090s. Then that keeps going, so.

Same here, I've never actually seen the term "clanker" be used in reference to a person using the AI, but the AI itself. Which to me was analogous to going to an expensive bakery and accusing the bread of ripping you off instead of the baker (or whoever was setting prices, which wouldn't be the bread).

If there was any sort of op going on (which I don't think there is), I'd guess it would be from the AI doomers who want people to think of these things as things with enough self-awareness that something like "clanker" would actually insult them (but, again, probably not, IMO).

Also, all this would do is change the processing from GPU to CPU. Microsoft commissions AMD, Nvidia or Intel to create a technically-not-a-GPU CPU and just have a computer that uses GDDR instead of the standard DDR.

Thanks.

TBF I can't say I'm sold on the notion of watching Yudkowsky eat spicy wings while also arguing with someone.

Forgive my stupidity, but I don't know what this means. Or it's referencing something I don't know.

Pretty sure I've heard similar things about AI "art" vs artists as well.

I think I might be missing some context here. Granted without context I'm pretty sure that strawman is still the right word.

[–] ShakingMyHead@awful.systems 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Pretty sure that's a strawman.

Kind of like saying that humans are car-driving machines because we drive cars.
