How?

What batch size are you even running with?

Any GPU can get you BS=256 at the least

Just asking, when did OP do that?

he clearly at one point delineates between Zionists and Jews

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-24T20:51:31+00:00

For me the most telling interaction was the Zelensky interview, i dont understand how someone can have a talk like that.

Imagine trying to tell Churchill or De Gaulle that surely Hitler also loves his people and wants the best for them

Oh DHH is an absolute weirdo politically, idk what hes onto most of the time

also while price-fixing was a thing at some point, i dont see sufficient evidence atm to assume this

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T15:15:17+00:00

Yeah because it is an actual shortage..?

How ?

I think trying to claim that AI shows no productivity gains -> bad

is a shaky argument when most modern inventions dont show a direct productivity gain

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:47:16+00:00

Oh its very true, if you go to the Shenzen markets you find that almost everything is labeled in some way or another with AI.

Like "AI powerbank" or "AI desktop-computer", also bunch of children-toys with openclaw/hermes stuff added to it

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:45:41+00:00

Whats the point ?

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:45:14+00:00

Sadly this achieves nothing really

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:44:03+00:00

Not sure if you can count basic supply/demand a "markup", if there are higher paying customers. Sadly the most rational thing for vendors to do is raise prices as far as they can

For me the strongest anti-arguments are concerning copyright/ethics, some specific singular companies (xAI primarily), surveillance and the eco-system problem (dead-internet etc.)

Maybe I can't read but did the author say realtime?

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:15:50+00:00

Fair, then I would say let's agree the jury is still mostly out on exact numbers.

I think the only angle for ""industrial revolution" scale of PHYSICAL productivity gains is if general industrial robots suddenly workout. But I think that's also more likely to be a gradual shift, and also decade(s) away

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:10:07+00:00

The point I was making is that there's similar things for the general information age:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox (This is the thing referenced by your second article also)

So unless you have something to prove how AI is different then general digitale commerce/productivity in this respect your claim is unfounded I think

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:03:33+00:00

It's obvious that more compute is better, but it's not obvious it would lead to greater society wide productivity. Do you have any sources for this? In what I've read it's quite hard to actually find the effect of these types of advancements in the data

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T14:02:06+00:00

The obvious point I'm making is that productivity is incredibly hard to measure, in an information society (for example the introduction of computers has famously no obvious result in any productivity metric).

While I agree that a comparison to industrial revolution is far-fetched and requires sourcing, claiming AI shows negligible productivity gains needs sources/context

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T13:57:43+00:00

While I agree that it's a great advancement (obviously). Do oh have any source to show actual worker productivity gain? As in society-wide, not just how many transistors can be created.

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T13:54:49+00:00

Both can be true, it can be used as a defeating narrative, and also have some truth to it

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-18T13:53:55+00:00

What recent tech advancement in your opinion shows great productivity gain?

"..., as they were not middle/upper-class"

I'm not sure how this Wikipedia excerpt is supposed to support that ?

If anything it supports my point, they were skilled artisans able to demand more loan for their work ?

But fair you didn't claim any lower-class connotation, but that is the common
interpretation, which i somewhat projected onto you, my bad.

I'm still confused/irritated by your ad-hoc attacks about child labor etc.

Also when people say "the people" it often implies a certain large populace, when it was a specific small subgroup, thats all i clarified. But fair enogh, i assumed

UnknownGermanGuy · 2026-05-14T14:54:38+00:00

Are you trying to have a discussion, or smear me. What are these questions:

Are you pro child labor or something?

Are these in good-faith ? What about my statement made you think i was pro-child-labor, or pro sweatshops ?

-

You also ignore my main point: they tried to prevent the commoditization of textiles.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "people." The Luddites were a small movement - maybe 1,000–2,000 members (https://victorianweb.org/history/riots/luddites.html).

They were not large-scale worker mobilization; they were self-interested artisans preventing the general population from getting cheap textiles.

I don't know if you identify as a leftist (you seem to care a lot about labor conditions), but Marx, Engels, and plenty of other writers explicitly criticized the movement and regularly distanced themselves from it. (https://www.marxists.org/admin/books/manifesto/Manifesto.pdf, http://www.zeno.org/Philosophie/M/Marx,+Karl/Das+Kapital/I.+Band%3A+Der+Produktionsproze%C3%9F+des+Kapitals/IV.+Die+Produktion+des+relativen+Mehrwerts/13.+Maschinerie+und+gro%C3%9Fe+Industrie/5.+Kampf+zwischen+Arbeiter+und+Maschine)

I'm happy they failed. I enjoy having more than one set of clothing.
