Chips that are really only competitive for a year are sitting on shelves. Good thing they reduced consumer GPU capacity to make these. The rest of us might be paying reasonable prices otherwise.
Edit: Just another reminder that capitalism only works when all actors are behaving rationally. There is nothing rational about what's going on in this market right now.
Sorry folks, we're not heading towards The Jetson's.
We're heading towards The Matrix.
Good. GFY
These guys are openly admitting that all these investments are going into hot air. Altman has also already admitted we’re in a bubble. But it doesn’t matter because the line goes up anyway.
So many actors in the AI space are admitting to issues that I wonder if they're not trying to blunt the crash.
It's already been proven over and over and over, but this is another point of evidence that the line has no relation with reality, and is entirely made up.
"True our business plan is trash, but if we had infinite energy it would scale."
...ok? That isn't a flex?
As an engineer, I definitely could think of a lot of cool ideas that'd fix problems if I just had unlimited energy or infinite resources.
However, since I'm not a CEO I don't get paid for said "what ifs"
"bro imagine if we could actually use all these cards we bought, we'd be the best at this AI thing"
I'm still waiting for an actual business case. Who's going to consume all this slop? And pay for it at one point?
No, you don’t understand! If you use our product to ask it about things you don’t know anything about, its answers are indistinguishable (to you) from an expert opinion, even when it’s wrong. This is a pure win for society with no down sides!
Problem solved
To make more electricity, they should try using some of the hot air that constantly comes out of Nadella’s mouth.
Why the hell are they spending money on things they literally can't use? Who authorized that purchase?
Especially because they are only good for AI, and they rapidly deprecate in value.
Every card they buy isn't available to a competitor.
Only half joking.
Thats the entire point of the capitalist ideology. Ask a christian why they rape children or a Muslim why they pray.
lol holy shit Nadella is such a fucking tool
Yeah, okay. If we could pull the reins on this collective AI idiocy a little, that'd be greeeat.
Is he trying to get our sympathy, because nobody is doing that.
I’m sure Microsoft can outspend Joe Shmoe on electricity so just buy more, duh. „Satya Nadella drowning in pussy, Microsoft CEO says” has about as much credibility though.
Actually retarded
Hurry up and make the analog computing chips and cut power requirements 1000x or more
Good.
Ah the E.T videogame strategy.
Can't wait for everyone to bury their ai bullshit in the New Mexican desert.
