“We won on a technicality so you lose smelly face!”. It is the “No homers club” all over again.

Just Be.

You mean crap post.

That kind of shenanigans always makes me think that the mental capacity of many in government peaks at age 6.

GeForced herself on me.

CUDA been love.

She f**ked me like Nvidia does its customers.

Is this what the show Sliders was an allegory for?

Yep, that summarises it up perfectly. The 90’s was seen as optimistic because the west was running up their credit card on the back of others.

As do the B vitamins.

While China’s GPU game a still a fair bit behind, however their CPU tech is catching up.

Loongson is a great example. Using their own ISA, their LA664 based chips could match Zen 2 processors on many general purpose tasks and the next gen LA864’s are looking to make another jump. Yes, they are behind but this companies chips from a decade back could barely compete with a Pentium 3. They are hungry and moving fast.

Yeah, I was a fool that I even vaguely thought we would have something sort of resembling a digital utopia. The 90’s were weird.

They really do have a golden opportunity. Most countries are dependent on them for trade, the US military is drifting wildly, China has just demonstrated that they can influence oil markets far greater than anyone else, and China is are the point were if they don’t take it in the next few years that they might not have the chance ever again.

There is a chance that China make a move and nobody comes to defend Taiwan because they know the alternative is worse for themselves.

I think it is more a case of, it showed that there is still a weak link in all of this and it is not technological.

I don’t care about this kind of gossip level junk, but this for once has potential blow backs. Not that I really care about that either.

I know, but one can dream!

That is a shame, I hope your situation improves.

Exactly, don’t turn it into a this or that maximization. Do the opposite and ‘Just Be’.

A planet or object around J1407b. Just throw that into image search and you will instantly see why.

The whole idea really is to drive the value of everyone, well except those that actually run the generative AI systems.

Most people I know that were heavy into corporate software coding, have ‘pivoted’ to their next big hustle “that could be ANYTHING!”. This is the bargaining phase right before depression and acceptance. Their entire career has been gutted from below them and now desperation is setting in.

This kind of dependence on these systems is breeding a kind of gambling addict like behavior, that one dears what will happen if it goes away.

I also have a theory that because LLM’s use a bit randomization to it that it scratches that same itch that gambling has and this is why so many people are addicted/defend their slop so hard. “Yes, this code is crap but if I rub this chair and switch this light on and off 54 times, maybe the LLM will reward me with exactly what I want.”

It is one of those things. LLM’s are brilliant at recombining old code/art/ideas into mixtures of these old things, but they cannot create anything genuinely new. Eventually we will need new idea and means of doing it.

Most of this slop-ware will probably be ditched in years to come as its tidal wave of technical debt becomes more of a burden than the gain.
