NVIDIA sells GPUs to Oracle. Oracle sells GPU time to openai.

When time comes to pay the bills, openai doesn’t have the money to pay Oracle who then doesn’t have money to pay NVIDIA. So, Oracle gives stock to NVIDIA, and openai also gives stock to NVIDIA.

NVIDIA doesn’t care if both go broke because now a gpu is worth a lot more, and in the books they’re selling a lot more GPUs each for a lot more money. So NVIDIA stock goes through the roof even if they ran out of cash and got into ridiculous debt.

Shareholders have a ridiculous profit, NVIDIA directors get a massive bonus and NVIDIA CEO gets famous.

Why is it a problem? Because nobody has cash and this can’t go on forever without some massive bankruptcies. I’m sceptical anyone is paying their power bills or servicing bank loans, so these may get dragged into the mud too.

I don’t know what you call trust, but count me out mate.

Just because there’s no option it’s not meant to say I can’t see the grift.

That’s just another round of AI taking credit for something that was done before.

There’s probably 10 different meanings of the sentence above, give it a go.

I can’t do that Hal.

The best I can do is install a plugin for more ads.

Maybe that’s what they though but it’s not what they said.

I didn’t read it all but it looks like you put a lot of effort into reformating it.

I’d like to suggest that you also include a text description of it, for those who can’t see images and rely on text readers for accessibility.

When I have said it to people with the intention of them growing, first of all it is meant for their own benefit, not for getting good grades or work recognition.

I find it is important for people to know what their unrealised potential is, and growing as a result of doing something hard, and making this a positive cycle.

But the experience has to provide the rewards in itself. Pursuing external validation or trying to align with someone else’s idea of a noble goal will only lead to frustration. As well as decreased confidence.

All that said, you can’t have that goal through all your life. Do that for a while, take a rest that could be a weekend, a month or even 10 years long if you’re going through raising kids. As long as it’s in your own terms and you’re not hurting anyone. Nobody likes assholes.

Not exactly since your VPN could be in a country that doesn’t give a shit about the laws in your country .

This, but I’d use separate browsers to keep seperate digital fingerprints. Otherwise your ad trackers would know it’s the exact same person going to site a directly and site b indirectly.

Also worth noting that Facebook has a back door on its mobile app, that keep listening on some port. When you use certain apps with meta code ( could be a newspaper that monetizes with Facebook ads ) or websites with meta code ( same “newspaper”), those apps/websites send your ad tracker id directly to Facebook app through that port. This de-anonimizes the shit out of your “anonymous” ad IDs. Other techniques rely on lots of data points and some degree of guessing, but this ways it’s mercilessly effective and accurate.

Oh yeah if this advances fast it may be a product in 5 to 10 years.

I agree that before it’s a company selling a product it’s just dreams.

However this is serious research. Skip the journo and open the nature.com link to the scientific article.

For the ones not familiar with nature, it’s a highly regarded scientific magazine. Articles are written by researchers not journalists.

Now tell me there was 12 monkeys in there

What an abomination

I’m just curious what kind of bad code is going to be around when this gets widespread.

I watched the yoga drawing listening to Michael Jackson’s Thriller in my head.

🎶 Thrilleeeeeer 🎵 wooooo hoo 🎶 Thriller night 🎶🎶🎶🎶

It’s a circular grift all around. They found a way to ensure that either everyone wins or everyone loses, and everyone keeps putting chips on the gambling table and nobody calls anyone’s bluff.

Except NVIDIA who’s the only one providing something that’s not a commodity.

I KNEW IT

just kidding, I’ve never seen you before

Wow it’s really cool, there’s potential to do many things, such as making a processor chip based on proteins instead of silicon. Obviously not for replacing current CPUs but to do analog computing - the kind of computing that both artificial AND natural intelligence do - with really low power. According to the experiments, 1/10th of the voltage (about 0.1V), which means 1/100 of the power since power comes from voltage squared.

As many other cool things we see in spectrum and nature magazines, this is very very far from being a start up and I may never hear from this topic ever again. But it’s dang cool how they found a bacteria that produces conductive wires from proteins.

Many people disagree, though I’m not one of them.

I could nitpick many inaccuracies in what you just said, but the main message that they are not profitable is on point.

The theory is good but in practice we know it’s the greed that drives the prices. Just look at what the big ones charge compared to local grocer with less middle men.
