I was silly and got myself a 5950X. But I feel less silly about it now tbh. It’s gonna become my new homelab core whenever I get the chance to do a new gaming build again that’s not a high 4-figure investment.

The real trick will be in figuring out some sort of solid state device - probably at least partially (if not predominantly) analog, not digital - that can reliably mimic the behaviors of biological neurons.

The actual breakthrough of AGI isn’t going to occur until we figure out how to do machine learning with analog circuit design. Digital simply does not scale well - what we’re doing now with “AI” using GPUs is simply brute forcing the problem by layering dozens of markov chains on top of each other.

It’s pretty easy to set up a cron job to fire off some sort of bullshit LLM request a handful of times a day during working hours. Just set it and forget it.

Who is “no one”? Because yeah, there will be splash damage, but some sectors (“AI” companies and the megacorps involved in the massive ongoing self-dealing circlejerk) will collapse, but others will simply see a correction. And I’ve already dumped anything LLM-related (as well as most US-based securities and ETFs) as of early this year. So I’ll take a hit (everyone will take a hit), but it’s not going to be nearly as bad as it will be for all the bag holders.

How did they squander being the name in autonomous vacuum devices…? It’s kinda baffling tbh.

In Oklahoma, 21-year-old GOP organizer Kennedy Laplante Garza started fighting a nearby data center proposal known as Clydesdale after learning over the summer that it would be built a mile from her family’s farm. “I didn’t even know that much about data centers at that point,” she told me. “But I knew my friends across the state were fighting similar things, whether they were solar panels or wind turbines.” Garza wound up organizing a mass petition campaign against the project that ultimately proved unsuccessful — Clydesdale broke ground this week.

Emphasis mine.

Just… wow. What a fucking imbecile.

I just suck it down through apt or flatpak or homebrew or whatever is appropriate for the system I’m on. I tend to avoid manual download/install processes unless it is specifically recommended, or there’s no option to do it through a package manager.

Also: “To make money”

Well that’s repulsive in the extreme

Tell me you don’t understand AWS without telling me you don’t understand AWS.

That said, this round-tripping bullshit is truly fucking absurd. The bubble-pop is going to be cataclysmic.

One of my three strikes for my perma was because I posted that on a bandwagon thread during the API exodus lol

I’m guessing it’s AI slop image gen

Tbh it’s less weird than pivoting to weapons-grade uranium

Kessler syndrome goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There’s just the one

flatpak install flathub net.waterfox.waterfox

Why should I give a single shit about this obviously self-promoting marketing drivel from Anthropic?

The cloud is just someone else’s computer, and it always has been.

If OpenAI gets wiped out, maybe it wasn’t even a “real company” to start with

As an American, I fully and enthusiastically agree. Hell, if you let me, I’ll move there and lend my expertise to the effort.

Tbh if that’s the only value-add that windows can come up with compared to linux gaming in the long run… that’s a great argument for boycotting the games that insist on using that shit - or at least, insist on using insecure / shitty anticheat that’s incompatible with Linux, and/or requires comically and inappropriately broad permissions
