we will ban you from using the latest chips
ok then I’ll work on optimizing my code so it runs on old tech
that’s not fair.
this illegally imposed restraint on China's development will surely be the one they can't overcome
Well if the US isn’t going the legal route now something tells me they’ll do whatever to keep power 
The reason closed source models are unoptimized is a way to mislead competitors and attempt to move the competition from one of technological prowess to one of courting investment.
-1 trillion in tech -> a bunch of lemon companies go out of business -> commercial real estate get like 3% cheaper -> real estate market collapse -> Trump tries to loot some country in a war -> thwarted by coalition -> can't afford military anymore -> USD loses its global reserve status -> -1 trillion in global privilege -> collapse of everything else American -> Israel can only be sent hundreds of millions in arms instead of billions -> dissolution of the entity
Funny enough, bullish for bitcoin
"This is good for Bitcoin, actually"
(Please!)
Get fucked lol. Nobody wants to pay $20 for AI slop.
$200/month in even sillier cases.
But they lose $100/month on those subscriptions so you’re coming out ahead! /s
I thank computer science and communism.
Why are free market enthusiasts panicking? I thought competition was supposed to bring about the best results? Or was that just a load of bullshit to let domestic monopolies control everything?
they are panicking because they backed the wrong horses
Inb4 massive government stock bailout.
What does this mean to me, a overexploited proletarian living in the global south?
(Like for real)
not much probably unless your job is combing through datasets to remove CSAM.
removing CSAM is one of the major hurdles for operating fediverse servers so this could be good for lemmy as a whole
The new LLMs are smaller and more likely to run on hardware available in your country. After all they were developed despite the US chip embargo.
This also means the US might slow down on the new power stations and resulting climate change, but probably not.
Not sure the new tech will actually be useful though.
Vibes based "economy"
been saying it for decades: the stock market is a measurement of how rich people feel about the economy, nothing more nothing less
Not that I like even thinking about stocks. But I wonder if betting against a rise in stock price for NVIDIA is actually worth it right now....
short term? maybe. long term? probably not. These models still need to run on GPUs even if they're cheaper to run. This could induce demand for more GPUs.
You can never beat the stock market. Individuals always lose compared to financial institutions. If you want a bigger return on your money then in your savings account, buy government bonds. At least you'll be certain you won't lose the little money you have.

It's at 125 per share as of this post (I think it was like 142 before nyse was opened). https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA/
Your comment prompted me to check. Under 118 as of this post lol
should've called it "deepsink" as it sinks the US tech giants
pow
This photo of panicking traders with tears in their eyes is the only true bit of art that AI has ever produced ```
Call it Titan II because it's sinking more money faster than anything since that beautiful imploding submersible
(I just wanted everyone to enjoy the memory of when that stupid submersible imploded. Almost like a prelude to Year of Luigi. Now China is trying to 1929 the entire AI tech bubble)
gets criticized once
Common Glorious Chinese W.
For other AI toys I'm really impressed by Hunyuan3d by Tencent as well, its quite the improvement over Micro$oft's TRELLIS, been making side money off fiverr with that trinket since I can rig and it can model even on a rx 580.
a stark look inside the cynicism of the capitalist world's inability to see themselves competing on a global stage
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
