What rocks about this is that this money is being fed directly to OpenAI so that they can burn it and need more in a few months. The business masters have arrived

This is so weird. It apparently “reflects its shift in focus to OpenAI”, yet… if OpenAI were to do well, wouldn’t that mean NVIDIA would be making a killing on their gold rush shovel sales along the way??

This is a great re-phrasing that I am going to take on board for all my future AI conversations… takes the obfuscating magic out of the picture

This is similar to my hope for the Sora/‘Vibes’ “SlopTok” apps - that they actually just flood the information space with so much junk that more human-laboured stuff becomes more valuable. I guess it just depends on whether people will go looking for it when the slop trough is so readily available

In Australia we have the ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission) which is a legislated government body and has historically been quite a great force for consumer rights (warranties, refunds, etc). Something like that perhaps. Keeping it disentwined from politics is probably the hard part

Yeah that’s a fair point. Some kind of independent regulatory body feels like what is needed, but that would have to be legislated to be set up with any powers…

I would be much more jnterested in LLMs I could run myself too. It’s a shame that the best I’ve got is a 24GB-unified-memory M3 MacBook Air… small llama model is useless for coding haha.
If we incentivise an AI bubble pop then perhaps we can pick up the NVIDIA hardware for cheap in firesales 😁

This is a big thing that worries me. We trusted / didn’t regulate Silicon Valley big tech with social media and look where that got us - and now they want us to trust them on AI safety while they expedite rolling the tech out into every corner of society to try make trillions of dollars?
