    Worldcoin price skyrockets => cryptocurrency speculation returns => GPU shortage prevents further training of LLMs

    More VRAM => larger models. IME it is absolutely worth maxing out VRAM for the significant improvement in quality, especially with LLaMA (though even with a 4090, you won't be able…

    yeah when getting DL up and running on AMD requires using a datacentre card then it's no wonder CUDA is more popular. AMD is enabling ROCm for commercial GPUs now but it's still a …

    if the AI is trained on LW then I think we'll be safe, just use the word 'woke' and it'll lose its shit and get stuck in an endless loop of telling you why it's not actually racist…
