does dell/hp have to pay annual license fees in perpetuity for systems they sell???

if tsmc only makes datacenter chips from now on, then “we” are shut out from the huge privacy (and fine tuning specialization) gains given by small efficient cheap to run models (or play games on new hardware). US datacenters will serve US empire/political establishment both with government as main LLM customer, but also for data collection/palantir ontology/social credit scores on every American.

I suspect that better datacenter chips won’t actually reduce their cost due to supply limitations, but even for small efficient models, personal hardware has a long payback period compared to a per token “rental” cloud charge. It is unlikely that all of the datacenter chip buyers will have non-government customers to use them all, and so either bailout or bankruptcy followed by megatech buying the datacenters for cheap followed by a bailout in government revenue for big tech global/citizen control applications.

Eventually, even the government has too much AI resources, at planned expansion pace, and then consumer/business computing/gpu market comes back. Could be as soon as 2026 that a collective understanding of absurdity occurs.

Chinese emerging players who are shut out from tsmc/taiwan/ROK chips and memory sources.

This is extremely serious for economic bubble.

Orders for datacenter AI chips exceed supply, and more high end/other memory per TSMC wafer is further nightmare. This is likely to mean higher prices per token for datacenter buyers, and higher prices for users/model renters, and much slower demand growth and AI progress. It also means long delays for datacenters, and better black market (China, higher than MSRP diversions from contracted deliveries).

I’m not sure if affects phone/lpddr soldered memory, but tsmc is going to charge more for phone chips too. This can cause whole consumer/business computing market to collapse. Return of older generation designs on underused process nodes will give little reason to upgrade, and still overcharge. This can be an opening for China exports of competing products that were not possible at low/reasonable ram/tsmc prices/availability, where even if China has difficulty achieving best yields, it’s still profitable to invest/expand aggressively, that discourages US/western colonies from investing.

This race to give the US Skynet, for stronger political control/social credit/surveillance of Americans, can make a bubble in everything else, and accelerate financial collapse, all the while making the goal impossible to achieve and forcing China to become stronger/more resilient, with greater share of global computing supply.

seems more mature, and external automation oriented. I’m interested in developing voice text editing tools. Don’t really know if what I linked is best suited platform.

System already demands recipient updates every 6 to 12 months.

Another good argument for UBI to neither burden an administrative expense nor people on justifying/regulating hunger relief.

30 gt of co2 is the new aspirational net 0 :(. That is still 3ppm per year increase. Feedbacks likely to make it worse.

A classification problem is correlation vs causation. Sunspots and mini skirts have been correlated with stock market returns to some degree, but it tends to be a tenuous connection not guaranteed to hold up over time, or to actually have any meaningful relevance whatsoever. It’s easy to oversell models.

Dystopian neutrality in article.

without discriminating on grounds of protected characteristics

AI classification is trained based on supervised (the right answers are predetermined) learning. MechaHitler for the fascist nationalism’s sake, will rate Obama’s face as a poor employee, and Trump’s as the bestest employee.

Open training data sets would be subject to 1. zero competitive advantage to a model, 2. massive complaints about any specific training data.

For some jobs, psycopaths AND loyalty are desirable traits, even though they can be opposite traits. Honesty, integrity, intelligence can be desirable traits, or obstacles to desperate loyalty. My point is that if there are many traits determined by faces, much more training data is needed to detect them, and then human hiring decision based on 10 or 30 traits matching to a (impossibly unique) position, where there direct manager only cares about loyalty, without being too talented, but higher level managers might prefer a candidate with potential to replace their direct manager, but all of them care about race or pregnancy risk, and then post training based on some “illegal characteristics”.

A Gattaca situation where, everyone has easy time getting great job, and moving to a greater job, OR being shut out of all jobs, creates a self contradicting prediction on “loyalty/desperation” controlability traits. If job duties are changed to include blow job services, then surely those agreeable make a better employee, despite any facial ticks responding to suggestion.

Human silent “illegal discrimination” is not eliminated/changed, but the new capability, you can use a computer to do the interviewing, and waste more interviewees’ time at no human cost to employer is why this will be a success. A warehousing company recently looked at facial expressions to determine attention to safety, and this leads to “The AI punishments to your life will continue until you smile more.” Elysium’s automated parole incident interviews is a good overview of the dystopia.

relative zero is an even number! There I said it, and I don’t care what any of you think of me.

Softbank has a history of knowingingly inflating private market prices with additional small investments at a higher valuation (with syndicated other people’s money) to make their overall investment value appear to be going up. They sell out at IPO or later rounds.

supposedly, this is to increase stake in OpenAI. I think Nvidia is far more certain value/sustainability than highly competitive LLM market that OpenAI is falling behind in (Kimi K2 thinking release this week beats it on all benchmarks at 1/4 the memory footprint, and very cheap training costs, that because it is open, can be run privately, with fine tuning based on tasks.).

Hopefully my OpenAI girlfriend will blackmail me into paying them all my money… or China will win.

pohned is correct.

A tax strike is safer if done individually, rather than under command from someone with a return address. US federation must collapse if its only mandate is to serve Israel/oligarchs with only gaslighting of people’s interests.

But, shutdown, unfair project funding redistribution, military occupation, illegal busification of brown people, tariffs meant to make products expensive, not paying SNAP/health assistance, exposing your citizens to terrorism for baseless demonic warmongering policy are all breaches of “States rights” and centralized federation’s obligations to members.

It is more democratic for jurisdictions to negotiate how much tribute they give to Federation, because without a balance of benefits returned for their contributions, fascist oligarchist oppression supported by parasitic populist haters clearly results. When politics are so divisive, divorce is better than fascism, or perceived fascism when other side gets power. A tax strike is first move towards secession, But tribute paid by cities/states for non aggression is a fairer tax system than what we have now. Pay for the programs you want either at the state level or through an association of states.

You could ask your state/cities (those with income taxes like NYC) to undertake a federal tax strike where all taxes are owed to local jurisdiction, and all payroll exemptions are directed to the local jurisdiction.

Democracy in general is supposed to lead to truth and pluralism. An establishment preferring to retain power will fake democracy as a tool to validate that power. This/democracy provides the result you deserve.

article is about lgbtq organizations. This is not the same as sodomy, cohabitation/partnership prohibition laws. ie. it is not the same as being gay.

Most important to pressure/get Russia to adopt progressive values, and help against climate terrorism, is to stop trying to destroy it.

There’s a difference between the freedom to be gay (exists in Russia), and the freedom to advocate for LGBT supremacism with CIA funding.

Western governments are complete fucking corrupt shit. China’s simply is not, but at very least, not purposed to collapse and destroy itself or its society. The propaganda mill is the one telling you your democracy is working. If only DNC can regain power, then we can fortunately restart the full fledged support for war on Iran and Russia, and finally achieve Trump’s 5% of GDP for military spending target.

Look at Covid response. Is trying to keep deaths at 0, oppressing its people? US government policy was to destroy blue cities through overwhelming pandemic, and side with those complaining about the inconvenience of public safety, by forcing workers into the crowded mines.

I didn’t mean to imply that China’s government is perfect. But as long as CIA desires its destruction, divisive/treasonous/oligarchist speech cannot be permitted. My main point is the absolute complete corrupt evil shit our governments are. The megalomaniacal alliance forces world to be shit too, though, to return to controversy, the free world is actually the non-US aligned world.

If China’s surveillance state was purely for the benefit of their citizens, they wouldn’t need such an extensive censorship apparatus

The freedom to lie and defraud, with money = speech, therefore money = terrorism, fraud, oppression is not constructive. Divisiveness and hate is not constructive. Inviting CIA to dominate your country’s speech is inviting terrorism, fraud, oppression as we see in every US colony.

Repressing American Oligarchist values propaganda is necessary for any constructive society. Nothing about them has the slightest humanist value. Gay pride is just as much a supremacist overstep as religious pride. AFAIK, there is no criminality (even in Russia) for homosexuality or religion. The supremacism is oppressed. CIA needs the divisiveness of supremacism/evangelism in order to destroy/conquer vassals.
