Itâ(TM)s shocking how many people have their head in the sand with AI. Itâ(TM)s no fad, itâ(TM)s bigger than the Internet. And what does AMD do? Release a GPU with 16GB vram. There is no serious competition to NVIDIA and boards that can handle video as well as local ai workloads are the future. If they think they can specialize in gaming, they are dreaming. NVIDIA can afford a far higher R&D budget.

VRAM has vastly higher bandwidth.

Wow, have you not even tried this yourself??? Get a halfway decent video card and try ollama? Educate yourself so you donâ(TM)t get left behind and make silly statements.

"It's currently illegal for insurance companies to use genetic data."

There, I fixed it for you.

"Oh Shit!"

"I need your bank information to do that"

"I've updated all your passwords to best practices complexity"

"I've updated all your social media accounts and your engagement has increased dramatically, especially from law enforcement and organized criminal organizations"

These are power tools. If you pick up your lawn mower and use it as a hedge trimmer, don't blame the lawn mower when it chops your hands off.

Some developers embrace the idea of open source until their baby grows and they realize that they can get rich.

WordPress and OpenAI are just a couple of examples where end users adopt open technology and then have that support converted in to profit focussed entities. It borders on fraud.

The Russian government is essentially a criminal organization . They have repeatedly committed war crimes and their leaders are wanted by the Hague. Why should we make a distinction between their government and their criminal gangs? It's an artificial distinction to unsuccessfully provide plausible deniability.

Wne you get down to it, are not all governments a form of protection racket?

Well that explains why coal miners are out of work.

Not going after tax cheats that either leads to tax increases or deficits is a good thing?

This like what he did to the Post Office or closing the Global Health Security and Biodefense unit — responsible for pandemic preparedness are examples of cutting government that is penny wise and million dollar foolish.

We are all OK with cutting waste, but Donald Trump is a wrecking ball. You don't burn down the house when you want to remodel it.
WakeTFU

<sarcasm>Thanks Donald </sarcasm>

Well that's a non starter. Have you ever programmed in ADA, the government sanctioned designed by committee programming language?

We need Intel for national security reasons so the US government cannot let it fail.

But nationalization isn't an option. The tech world lives on innovation. Nothing slows down decisions like a government bureaucracy.

Came here to say Boeing. This is what happens when public companies are run by accountants and CEOs incentivised to increase stock prices.

There is no doubt that money is critical to every business. However, if profits are the overriding factor in decisions, more important things like customer satisfaction and long term health are compromised and open a company up to competition and failure.

Kodak declined because they rode their cash cow instead of adapting to a changed marketplace. Intel is doing the same thing by betting the farm on X86 instead of competing meaningfully in chips that are designed for neural networks.

Mastery of brain chemistry is like fire that can cook our food or kill us. We must use knowledge carefully but not with irrational fear.
I see beneficial use cases of erasing memories. Rape victims or any others that suffer from PTSD for example could greatly benefit from a therapy that can do this safely.

Currently regulations on AI are popping up like weeds. Many states have or are in the process of legislation. Heaven help you if you deploy solutions used by people in Europe, China, or really anywhere. If they don't like you, they likely can prosecute you.

The legal definition of AI is so broad, that nearly every developer, no matter how opposed to AI fall under the umbrella. The AI term has become so abused, it's hard to even know what you want to build is legal. Read this: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.law.cornell.edu%2Fwe...

Regulation is inevitable because bad actors have been abusing the tech for a while already. Ideally, it is crafted at the Federal level by people who know what they are doing. Providing the regulators with complete access to LLMs gives them the tools they need to evaluate these systems to determine if they are breaking existing or proposed laws.
