Comment Re:Is people really using notebooks for AI? (Score 1) 75

Surely for dev purposes and testing and some document analysis. Apple also makes the Mac Studio a Mini which, if you give them enough RAM, kicks butt with AI. Expensive, but still the cheapest option for the performance

I have a MacBook Pro and a Ryzen with a 12Gb RTX under my desk. The RTX is surely faster with AI, but the Mac can load much bigger models with 48Gb of RAM. The secret sauce is that Apple shares the GPU and system memory, something intel’s old PCI architecture has problems with

The laptop also runs at about 15% of the power of the RTX for 60% of the performance. You do the sums.

If Apple takes this to a low power high performance AI server they will eat NVIDIA s breakfast.

Comment Re:Yeah, cleaning up other people's vibe mess (Score 1) 82

I just sent a bill to my client doing exactly that.
They have a junior dev who used to a hardware gal and then configured networks and somehow became a code. Boss spent lots on money to build an app that the AI basically copy-pasted all over the place. She could not cope (but then she is scared of git and refuses to write tests since they are boring) I was brought in to fix the mess

Ka-Ching!!!

"doesn't affect me personally so fuck it".

Spot on. Gardening Copywriter does not mean what it says directly. It means the person is a copywriter. Just happened to work for a gardening magazine. A information source written by people. If AI takes over all the text we are going to live on regurgitated stuff from now on. Like eating your own shit because it it is recycled.

As for "I am not too sad"? The guy is just a goddamn psychopath without feelings for other people.
