One of the greatest fears the AI bros have is not „human extinction“, but that people/companies might one day just run their own models locally without giving OpenAI et al. access to their entire life and data and money on top. Because then the bubble pops.
BTW: Always a SUPREMELY bad idea to enrage gamers.
@chrisstoecker And ssimple users....
@chrisstoecker Wäre wirklich spannend, wenn die GamerGater, und alles was daraus gewachsen ist, irgendwann die Schnauze voll von den Broligarchen haben, weil die ihnen ihre Gaming-Rechner wegnehmen. 😏
@chrisstoecker the CEO of IBM was interviewed recently. He said they could provide hardware to run open models within a company scope that would be 10% of the cost of OpenAI / Anthropic / etc.
EDIT: Added link.
IBM CEO says open weight models are now irresistibly good and cheap on-prem
90 percent of the performance at ten percent of the price, in just two or three racks, is hard to beat

@john234 might be interesting to see how much business sense it would make to strip that hardware for gaming components :D
@Tuzio or just run Doom on the company network like back in the 90s.
@chrisstoecker I think the bubble will pop a lot sooner.
Anthropics opts for junk-status already
@chrisstoecker - trillions have been ‘lost’ in value in the past week as some realized that blowing hundreds of millions of profit that could have gone to shareholders have instead been redirected to building data farms that no one wants in their backyards, has created negative media attention, and has created shortages / price spikes for related consumer products - and all for the purpose of providing a service no one needs. Or worse, wants.
And those that invested are asking why.
