Oh good I found a bot. Good luck training your llm here whoever you are.

It's still the exact same silicon and it's got the same problems. Not all of them burn out but some of them do.

The real question is how long until it's replaced by newer or better hardware. Basically will we see custom hardware replace video cards soon for llm acceleration. Similar to what we saw with Bitcoin.

That Won't help consumers because the Fab capacity is just going to go to different silicone, but it does mean that a whole shitload of these gpus will become worthless. I guess some of them will show up on eBay. I got a lot of use out of an old rx580 that was a mining card. I think it did eventually die on me but I got about six good years out of it.

That's a one-time Bonanza though. And it's assuming we get it. The real loser there would be Nvidia since if they get replaced on the AI market with custom hardware then their market value is going to crash harder than I think any market value has ever crashed

Money laundering is the backbone of the entire cryptocurrency market. Although Trump has made corruption into a strong contender.

The greatest rap channel on YouTube, Patrick Boyle's, has a video about one of the major scams collapsing because the big boys have integrated crypto into sectors of our economy so there isn't enough excitement about it anymore to keep some of the financial scams going.

Also with the economy collapsing due to incompetent mismanagement from on high the stock market's going with it. And a lot of these scams were riding the stock market.

Still as long as we refuse to regulate the money laundering crypto isn't going anywhere. You'll Still lose your shirt when you invest in it and desperately try to hide it from your wife. But the big boys are in the pool now and so they're going to suck up all the scam money

Until the comment about equality. You need to work on your bait. When it's too obvious you just come off like an idiot.

I do sense a little desperation. A little bit of cope. Something is happening that you know is going to hurt you and your worldview isn't equipped to deal with it.

Paying wages. That's the problem AI is designed to solve. It is not a consumer product it is capital that will be used to replace you.

And remember they do not need to replace all of us. Doing something like 15 to 25% would completely hollow out consumer spending which is already under threat because massive income inequality means that 80% of our consumer spending comes from baby boomers and those people have about 10 years left before they are pushing up daisies.

And they will not be leaving any inheritance to speak of. What they don't spend on RVs and morning mimosas is going to be eating up by collapsing healthcare systems.

The system of capitalism is being dismantled. It's not breaking down it's being broken down. And if you are under 65 you are going to experience that process. And if you have less than 100 million in your bank account it's not going to be fun.

Because the last I checked chemistry majors like that had a rough time in the job market. If you could find a job the pay was good but the problem was they're just weren't enough of them.

It is just as likely that you're seeing more of this because people who would normally be forced to drop out because they lack basic accommodations are getting those accommodations and are able to finish the program now.

We are long since past the point where life needs to be a constant battle to see who gets to have food and shelter. But we keep that system going.

On the spectrum without telling me you don't know anyone on the spectrum.

It's like Jesus fucking Christ people don't even understand what masking is. People with disabilities go out of their way to hide their disabilities because we do not treat people with disabilities well.

I have a functioning autistic buddy who I didn't really know was autistic for years. Severe ADHD.

My mother was also a high-functioning alcoholic. That and the cigarettes eventually killed her. Severe mental illness treated with booze and smokes.

This is why the right wing is attacking empathy. That plus higher education and critical thinking are the enemies of the ruling elites. While you're raging about people who have substantial disabilities but can just barely hold down a job they're busy raising your grocery prices and getting ready to make your job go away with robots and AI.

They need your rage and attention focused somewhere else and you are happy to oblige them.

We've got nepo babies everywhere and billionaires screwing us over but we are all deeply deeply deeply furious about disabled people getting a little bit of extra time on a test.

I mentioned this elsewhere but the author of this article writes anti-education articles for a living. You can look her up and you will find at least a half dozen of them and counting.

It is amazing how easy it is to manipulate Americans into screwing themselves over. You were going to spend all your rage on this and completely ignore the actual elites fucking you in the ass and raising your grocery prices.

I mean it works for them either way. If they manage to make something useful out of it they get something useful out of it but otherwise they destroy a competitor and can jack up prices. It's a win-win.

We have basically eliminated competition from capitalism. It's funny because we are all acting surprised when capitalism breaks down in the absence of the fundamental system for regulating it.

But hey, at least one the girl hands you your coffee at the one coffee shop available in a 20 mi radius she can say Merry Christmas now right?

The problem I have with those Mobile payment apps is that they circumvent Banks and banking protections so that if anything goes wrong you are shit out of luck. But banks don't like making it easy to transfer money because they like to use it to force you to keep all your accounts with them. So a wire transfer is slow and difficult.

The article is written by one Rose Horowitch

A quick Google search turns up several of her other "articles"

Every single one of them is a poorly written and poorly researched opinion piece similar to this one talking about some moral panic regarding the collapse of the American education system with a special emphasis on how bad colleges.

This is more anti-higher education propaganda because Rich assholes do not want your kid or your grandkid getting a good education and thinking for themselves.

Little surprise to see it in the Atlantic, but honestly after what I saw in the last 2 years with regards to American Media not all that surprised. The Atlantic is owned by Steve jobs's ex-wife so we're not exactly talking salt of the earth ownership here...

As usual, follow the money

He's the president of the United States and he is using a detailed plan, project 2025, to completely remake our entire government and society. So no there really isn't going to be anything that doesn't somehow involve trump. He is fully exercising 50 years worth of accumulated Presidential power through rampant abuse.

I can't help it if you're not paying attention or that you don't understand how our government is breaking down.

No this is taking the data that we have and fitting it to the most likely outcome. We have a lot of data because Trump is constantly in the public.

So yes there are other possibilities but this is the one that fits the data. You might not like it because well, you love Trump and you're hoping he gets a third term, and you probably not going to admit that because nobody who likes Trump admits it outside of safe spaces, but this is where the data points to

So the stuff on his hands is definitely from a IV. The only question is what is he getting as an IV on a consistent basis.

And then we have the MRIs. You don't just do MRIs. There is no such thing as a preventative MRI that doesn't involve a known issue.

Alzheimer's is the only thing that fits the data we have. Yeah it is possible it's something else but if we just talking about probability and likelihood especially given Trump's behavior where he keeps falling asleep during cabinet meetings, a side effect of Alzheimer's medication, again it fits the data.

The only difficult part is Trump rambles like a lunatic with Alzheimer's and has his whole life so it's difficult to tell if he's lost his marbles because he never had them in the first place. With Reagan we all knew because they had to take him out of the public eye because he couldn't speak in public anymore with Trump they just let him speak anyway because he's always sounded like that
