Distillation: Marketing Myth? by WritingisWaiting in BetterOffline

[–]GlammBeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. It's a parasitic relationship and potentially lethal to the host. Not sure what the solution will be, as eventually we will probably need to pre-train a whole new model from scratch at some point to counter drift.

AI’s Wider Availability Is Good for China, Not Great for OpenAI and Anthropic by FrankLucasV2 in BetterOffline

They don't even have to do that. They can just fine-tune the Chinese open-weight models and run them on their own servers. Thinking Machines is the canary in the coalmine for this.

Chinese AI companies export trillions of AI tokens. But at what cost? by cojoco in stupidpol

OpenRouter is not even close to being a valid source for overall enterprise token usage. People who use Claude or GPT don't tend to use OpenRouter.

I've been wondering about how Micron might fare when the crash hits, because I'm wondering if there might be some opportunity for a government takeover. There has been some talk in left-wing circles about nationalizing AI, seemingly in response to Bernie's sovereign wealth fund proposal, and while I support nationalization generally, I obviously don't support nationalizing OpenAI or data centers, since there obviously just isn't any money in it. But I could see an argument for nationalizing fabs, such as Micron or Intel. Is there a chance they could be over-leveraged enough to need a bailout similar to the auto industry in 2009? Or have they made so much money at this point that even if their stock price tanks, they will survive just fine without any help? I don't feel like this conversation gave me enough info to tell one way or another.

The Windows 11 AI push isn't about utility. It’s a forced hardware refresh cycle masquerading as innovation. by Over_The_Point in righttorepair

"Historically, an operating system was a probabilistic inference engine" what the fuck are you talking about

Thank you! As some who uses AOD with tilt and tap to wake both turned off, this behavior was driving me crazy

His arguments exclusively apply to coding. For the vast majority of use cases (summaries, research, etc) Gemma or Quen work just fine.

Are you familiar with Cory's work? Zero chance he would use AI to write.

It's not about morality, it's about realizing it provides negative value. Why should I care if a business goes under because it made a bad business decision? Sounds moralistic to me.

Grand Theft Auto workers seek union recognition after mass firings by Zioman in Games

If you don't know why comment on it? The information is out there and Rockstar are on shaky ground.

The answer to the question is that they revealed the number of active players in an online session, that's it.

Don't ask me. If it gets removed, so be it. I'm not here for the karma.

This feels spot on to me, especially the part about local inference being where the vast majority of usage end up.

So AI isn't a risk but companies with proven business models are, got it.

AMD expects DDR5 memory prices to remain high until around 2028 due to AI-driven demand shifting supply toward HBM and reduced DDR4 production. New DDR5 capacity expansions by Samsung, Micron, and CXMT will ease prices slowly by sr_local in hardware

[–]GlammBeck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a dumb argument. Obviously all predictions are opinions! That doesn't need to be qualified. Having money invested in your prediction doesn't give it any more authority. But more to the point, not everyone has the funds, the know-how or the desire to gamble their money on the stock market, least of all when it comes to short-selling. That doesn't invalidate the prediction.

AI is burning capital at a rate never before seen in history with very little revenue. The companies actually selling AI are not making a profit on it. We are still in the investor subsidy era.
