Really? I'm really surprised by that. I thought Meta was the one who got the jump on everyone by hoarding H100s. Or did you mean strictly GPUs and not any of the AI specific chips?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's the funniest part about all of this—the continued posturing that AGI is totally a thing that is just beyond our grasp.

just give us another $100 billion to spend, it's all we need wink

23 trillion.

One of these days if AGI ever does actually come about, we might very well have to go to war with them.

There might be a day where billionaires employ zero humans and themselves merge with the AGI in a way that makes them not quite human any more.

The amount of data being collected about everyone and what machine learning can already do with it is frightening.

I'm afraid the reaction to AI when it actually becomes a threat is going to look like more of a peasant revolt than a skynet situation.

Do you have a source for this? I don’t buy this when compared to Google, Amazon, Lawrence Livermore National Lab…

I first heard it on the All-In podcast, but I do see many articles/blogs about it as well. Quick note though, I mistyped CPU (and rapidly caught and fixed, but not fast enough!) when I meant GPU.

And the same conditions of material wealth that dictate traditional warfare will not be changed by the ChatGPT for Warlords subscription. This entire conversation is silly and predicated on beliefs that cannot be substantiated or delineated logically. You (and the rest of the AI preppers) are no different than the pious wasting their lives in fear awaiting the promised rapture.

Life goes on. One day I might have to fistfight that super-dolphin from Johnny Mnemonic but I don't spend much time worrying about it in a relative sense.

A few weeks ago my OpenAI credits expired and I was billed to replace them. I had no idea this was the business model, fine you got me with your auto-renew scam because you decided my tokens were spoiled. At some point, OpenAI became who they said they werent. You can't even get chatgpt to do anything fun anymore as the lawyers have hobbled its creative expression. And now they want to fight with Elon over what they…
