Comment Represented an entire era (Score 4, Interesting) 22

My memory is that I had joined Apple the first time right after Jobs stepped down as CEO, when he remained as Chairman... right before he passed away. Then the Steve Jobs interview was released and I saw it at the Aquarius Theater in Stanford and Cringely was there in person at the showing. Stylish as ever.

To me he represented a whole era of computing, when it was exciting me, before I had really started making a living with computers yet. Back when I really did learn a lot by reading physical magazines.

It's marketing as they try to stay relevant in the new AI era. Standard playbook but this time they have no control of the players because their OS is not relevant.
When they'd just announced Maia 200 earlier this year and now the 300 which the claim is that it's faster than the Maia 200 it's fluff and puffing hopping to be noticed and seen as 'trying".

After all, they're claiming it'll be used in their own data centers and nothing more. And I'm sure Microsoft doesn't like being just another line item on NVidia's purchasers list.

I looked it up in wikipedia, so in English it is the same as in my native tongue. There is this strange nature phenonemon of the rat king, mutliple rats with intertwined tails.

So in my view these relations and circular businesses of the AI companies, and particularly this article about the chinese model, very much remind me of a rat king. A sure way in the prospect of an AI financial market crash that they will all die together.
