nah, there's definitely an actual something there - there's concrete actual physical extra silicon, with a design and a (marketing?) purpose

even better: opt-in, over opt-out
none of these fuckers want to go for that, because it'd make their darling shitpile look oh so bad
but it's also a stark thing: ~20y ago tech actually asked first, and (mostly) fucked off if you told it to
the way a lot of tech companies approach consent (and how users have been primed following that) right now is some mad toxic fucked up bullshit
"I work in IT" says the rando, rapaciously switching between support tickets in their web browser and their shadow-IT personal browser
"I've been having a lot of fun" continues the rando, in a picture-perfect replica of every other fucking promptfan posting the same selfish egoist bullshit
"So… I mean, I think it really depends on how it’s integrated and used" says thee fuckwit, who can't think two words beyond their own fucking nose
the fuck? please go be weird somewhere else
"coprocessors, but matrix-math specific"
the various *PUs are "things that help a lot of ML models run faster" sidecar chipset designs
it's actually kinda hard to get concrete details, afaict. I've had a bit of a look around for silicon teardowns and shit, and haven't really found any good ones yet
ooh wow, the speed of progress. such a well known indicator of something definitely being good, and never at all being abused by ghouls!
sometimes I wonder if any of you dumb fuckwits ever read any historical perspectives at all
"so true bestie" says the dipshit, brushing under the carpet all the notes about overt efforts and capital expended by monopolist captive operators
what in the utter fuck is this post
.....I was unprepared for reading this post
remarkably, your post is one of those "tech takes" that we hang around the watercooler for
although I'm not sure you'll get why
I was vacillating on reply harshness, but "hey tell me when you're home" ... some people just need to get better with informed consent.
(agree that this probably wasn't banworthy (yet), but close)
