When is someone going to go Luigi on Altman?
No seriously… I don’t want to be in a world where people like Sam Altman and the head of Nestle are allowed to live peacefully.
Nonono mister altman you get in that bed you shat
I have 32GB DDR4 just to browse the internet. Take that, bitch.
at this point , they dont buy ram to expand their data centers , they are just buying them to take it away from normal users so they become reliant on data centers . they want end user devices to just be a screen , means of input and internet
This was the idea of Sun Microsystems ‘Sun Ray’ desktop in the late 90’s.
A thin terminal that ran almost entirely on the network. Maybe this is why Ellison ended up buying them all those years ago.
This is exactly what they’re doing.
# Amazon is buying billions in Nvidia AI systems it can’t yet turn on
Amazon is racing to secure AI hardware earlier than before, even as data center power shortages leave some GPU systems waiting in warehouses.
Under a new Early Rack Receipt process, AWS expected to receive roughly $5 billion in Nvidia’s GB300 server racks at US facilities before final deployment, according to August internal emails reviewed by Business Insider. The company projected roughly $3 billion more in GB300 racks each month “for the foreseeable future,” one of the emails said.
Some AWS sites had room for more racks but not enough available power to turn them on, people familiar with the effort said, leaving finished equipment to be staged at intermediary warehouses until the facilities were ready.
At least one AWS team did not have “a clear forecasted path” for getting the incoming racks into data centers at the time, according to one of the emails
Its because Nvidia is strong-arming all the companies to buy gpus even if they arent immediately needed. If they don’t, they go to Jensen Jail i.e they don’t allow you procure from them in the future.
Like the Ram manufacturers, if your product is the critical path in the industry, with a sizeable moat, you are the king.
I’m surprised they can keep track of that much unused inventory. Those warehouses are now gold mines.
I legitimately think they’re buying so much to stop their competitors from buying more. These companies now have more GPUs than they can fit in their datacenters, but they’re still buying more. These are assets that rapidly depreciate.
Maybe nVidia isn’t even making the gpus, nobody will know right? Just empty boxes worth billions…
A big part of this is Nvidia twisting their arms. “Buy this many billion dollars of GPU’s or we cut you out of future GPU purchases. This way we can both look like hyperscalers.”.
Intel used to do that same thing to OEM’s. Force them to buy junk like Pentium D chips so that they could have priority access to Core 2 Duo/Quads of the time.
Well with Microsoft edge using more memory than Ubuntu desktop or fedora workstation. Fuck yea we are greedy for memory!
A few years back I opened MS paint on Windows 98 only to see that it was using 22KB of RAM. It was then only expand based on how big the picture was. Oh how spoiled we were.
I also remember when I worked on PC restoration in about 2007 running Firefox on a PC with 128MB of RAM, yeah to a took a long while to start up but once it was all settle, that thing ran smooth.
won’t someone please think of the billionaires!?
i am. do you think they go better with red wine or everclear?
I don’t eat meat but will consider giving that up briefly to a fine Bezos steak with some Altman jus.
… ewwww. I need a shower after that.
If Everclear doesn’t get the rancid taste out of your mouth, nothing will.
valid point. what’s that awful cinnamon whiskey?
Fireball?
Fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Nice try, Grok. You can’t fool me.
The only possible solution is to cut down all the forests and replace them with data centres.
Wolves are tired of the forests and year to frolic in the cities.
Sickos: Yes… ha ha ha… yes!
this is sarcasm, right?
Well, it’s a visual depiction of something slopbrained Sam Altman actually said.
Vividly
NVIDA should make an app we can run on our pcs to let the do inference in our hardware, like some kind of distributed cloud processor
I ain’t giving those greedy bastards free electricity and compute power.
so a seti@home for slop?
slop@home
That’s like buying a house and still letting the carpenters in to fuck your girl.
That’s an interesting analogy.
I would gladly do this if it were simply for the good of all mankind and no profit was involved. For NVIDIA, fuck that.
something like folding@home, sure
fuck ngreedia
pure malware
No, WE should make the independent solution for that so we can more efficiently use our GPU’s, IF we want to.
If a company does it they will do it to profit not to help us.
Pretty sure it exists already
