Apparently they announced a $3.000 home computer that will be able to run 200B parameter models which is about half the params of the biggest downloadable model at this time.

Are they trying to compete with OpenAI's $200/month plan? No idea. The actual pitch seems to be you know AI is going to be everywhere soon so better lube up.

They also say if you buy one you get access to nvidia's AI tools to do whatever, probably to produce cutting edge quality AI media content or develop some hugely disruptive AI powered app, like the countless success stories we've had so far.

Molly White on one of the more obvious problems with betting markets

Tried to add the screenshot in the post but it won't work for some reason.

The comments are something else alright:

The part about kids is wrong. Per Aella's survey, many people report having masturbated well before puberty. Breeding and pregnancy were actually one of my earliest kinks when I was 7.

Base open source model just means some company commanding a great deal of capital and compute made the weights public to fuck with LLMaaS providers it can't directly compete with yet, it's not some guy in a garage training and RLFH them for months on end just to hand the result over to you to fine tune for writing caiaphas cain fanfiction.

That's some wildly disingenuous goal post moving when describing what was meant to be The Future of Finance™ at the time.

Like saying yeh, AGI was a pipedream and there's no disruption of technical professions to be seen anywhere, but you can't deny LLMs made it way easier for bad actors to actively fuck with elections, and the people posting autogenerated youtube slop 5.000 times a day sure did make some legitimate ad money.

Oh no, the premise of money and capitalism, my only weakness.

So many low-hanging fruits. Unbelievable fruits. You wouldn’t believe how low they’re hanging.

Zero interest rate period, when the taps of investor money were wide open and spraying at full volume because literally any investment promising some sort of return was a better proposition than having your assets slowly diminished by e.g. inflation in the usually safe investment vehicles.

Or something to that effect, I am not an economist.

23-2Leaving something to run for 20-30 minutes expecting nothing and actually getting a valid and correct result: new positive feeling unlocked.
