Ah yes, 24gb top-of-the-line GPUs, I happen to have a whole warehouse full.

/s


Fair -- 24GB GPUs are still quite expensive. >10x cheaper than 80GB GPUs though!

We already have something we're testing that's gotten 70b training down to dual 16GB GPUs, and we're working it making it even smaller...


Nonsense.

Nintendo bring this in themselves with their own policies.

There are so many hardware platforms I can support, and one that hardly ever does sales and refuses to bring their games to other platforms is not that appealing.

I buy games on PC, I buy games on XB, I've even rebought some games between the platforms to play couch co-op with my kid.

Steam and XB have enough sales to make this an option, Nintendo on the other hand is adamant about wringing every last penny from you.

These days I don't have time for Nintendo's nonsense. They want to live in their walled garden, they can have it.


>These days I don't have time for Nintendo's nonsense.

But you have time to play their games, apparently?


Right...because requiring developers to actually grasp the code they're outputting is gatekeeping.

If you want to pretend the rush to AI won't lead to more incompetent chefs in the kitchen than we already have (which is too many as it stands) then feel free, but acting like it's some kind of "party" people are being kept out of is daft.

Standards exist for a reason, not just to make people feel bad for not meeting them.


You're both right and wrong.

Corporations and governments do consist of people and people do care...but it's also the case the being a cog in a large organization does have a tendency to induce stuff like "I was just following orders" or "It's not my problem, someone else needs to fix it" :-/


Fun fact, I generated an image for Homo Sapiens a few hours ago (After trying white man, black man and neanderthal with no success) and was greeted with someone that looked very much like an Orc XD


Another solution in search of a problem...

Unless the problem is Apple fans having too much disposable income, in which case I guess this is an excellent solution XD


Right, but did anyones attempts to contact emergency services get affected in this case?

I'm guessing not.

No matter how you paint it, this was probably rather excessive on the part of the police.


And on the part of who called the police in the first place. In my experience teachers and school management are just too paranoid/neurotic and will escalate everything so they can't be blamed.


It might be legal for them to call the cops, but it still does not absolve them from moral responsibility for their actions. Including all the distress it would cause the child's family, and the likely ongoing PTSD from the incident.


The heck are you on about?

Have you ever tried to "train a human"?

They don't work that way, not unless your "training" involves so weird torture stuff you probably shouldn't be boasting about.

Maybe try ask some teachers (of both adults and children) how it works with people...


It pretty clearly is. Less of a story that is.


Careful, you’re saying the quiet part out loud.


Plenty of people would disagree so clearly this is not a settled matter


Good thing it’s not up to them then. They don’t get to say that something isn’t art.
