Impressive slop. But slop nonetheless.

Sure, when it's mature...

Yeah, and I think Overstreet might be going hard on AI, so not sure how that might effect the project

If you have "refine until it's perfect and don't screw with things you don't understand" thoroughly ingrained, along with the dangers of overconfidence, you'll do fine with AI.

Not everyone gets it though, that's for sure.

And, if you want to know if it's mature, I'd trust the user reports over the one liners :)

Zfs and btrfs will avoid corruption caused below the file system layer, not something like malware or misuse from a tired sysadmin. I run a tool called integrit that creates checksums and lets me detect non-wanted changes. I only run it on important stuff that does not change too much like photos and videos. Not fun to have to regularly check the log but it works fairly well. This could maybe be extended with automatic checking of the logs.

Working on everything from 1G to 6G, I can tell you for sure there will be a 7G whether we need it or not...

Not the right order if the optimization is a prerequisite for a positive business case. That happens more often than people think...

Not sure there is much actual profit in LLMs. It will be interesting to see promise meet reality, indeed.

It's once again a market where there's morbillions of money being invested but no money is being made yet. The next few years will show whether AI becomes established in e.g. large enterprises who use it as part of their daily business. But there's a lot of competition and wishes to cut costs as well so profit margins will dwindle.

I also think most hardware expenditures done today will lose their value quickly; as we saw with crypto, hardware manufacturers will make specialized hardware so the cost/performance ratio will go down by at least 90% within a few years, possibly more.

The profit is in the stock price rising, not the actual revenue. They need stories to keep the stocks going up.

I mean, it's obviously that they think they're going way beyond LLMs to get to something that is profitable, like some ultimate goldmine of intelligence. But if they miss that target by a hair or two, can we buy some of that RAM? I'd like my next MacBook not to cost $10,000.

I'm going to be very pumped when this comes crashing down.

It's going to look a bit like oligarchs subsidizing consumer tech as they try to offload more ram than God could own.

Everybody from OpenAI to Micron to the US Government is actively colluding to keep things going. I would love for you to be right, but I'm cynical from the decades that have been spent insulating these companies from consequences.

It really does feel like this. But it can't go indefinitely. What may seem bleak today could look very different a year out. The velocity of this whole thing won't just apply to the upwards direction.

But velocity down probably will mean a meaningful recession, so there's that.

you're right ... but china hahaha
