Is he a chaos marine? Is that significant?

@gilesyb.bsky.social what's the difference between investment and VC here? Nvidia invests in OpenAI, but VC's with Mistral.

None of these are built yet, right? We're still in the, announcing things to the press stage? I mean this new scale, where we measure their output by how much power they consume, because TFLOPS loses all meaning when it has 'x10^23' after it.

I'm sure they'd be good at bitcoin mining.

It's tricky to think of a use for that much parallel processing.

I believe the GB200 (if that is what we're talking about?) are so damn hard to cool, they are too expensive to run for anything else. The VRs coming down the pipe; even crazier.

Comparing this to an AWS compute cluster would be insane.

The Manhattan project was setup primarily as an arms race with the Nazis. The first thing the Nazis did was go down a theoretical cull de sac. LLMs are a cull de sac.

Looking into this, there doesn't seem to be anyway to remove a share from an external organisation. So this malicious link is stuck there, forever?

Ok, realise the mistake, let's undo this. Update passwords, check for rules that have been added, any files added. Warn people involved. Phew.

But the 'share' has come from someone outside your organisation and the link persists on the shared files list on #ondrive...

I think 'megatech' is the appropriate term. Step back a few decades to 'forums' and 'forum administrators' and the problem can't persist. It's automated account creation that facilitates the problem.

I have been asked twice to fix AI coded web projects (mostly UX and style bugs), but the price isn't right. If you start-off paying [next to] nothing for a product, how much are you willing to spend to fix it?

I should have been specific. I was referring to BTC and the massive injection the recent ETFs brought. That was institutional (tradfi) money and it was the first [new] exit liquidity of any scale. *If* they collateralise it, @tomashirstecon.bsky.social is right. Tradfi money, Tradfi rules.

I think tomas' point certainly gives pause for thought. Even small amounts of collateralised crypto could make rises smaller at the same time as making falls much worse.

Subcontractors are a big bill in many UK firms. It's also pro-rata, so you can ration it, meter-it, prohibit it. If you believe you can move some of that to an internal AI tool, then you believe you can turn a liability into an asset. That is alchemy.

Yes... And yes.

Adobe have been doing this for years to the creative industry. Everyone knows they have 'pretend' to quit, in order to get a better price.
