The reasoning is that people will stop buying their most expensive hardware offerings. This doesn’t make much sense either. Someone will come up with something clever to do with all that new compute, and then the demand for expensive hardware will be back again.

I understand why this is terrible news for OpenAI. Their entire competitive edge was that they’ve invested billions to build their GPT models. Anyone who wants to get to their levels must do the same investments.

If what’s being said about DeepSeek is true, then their entire competitive edge has just vanished overnight. Billion dollar investment: gone. It’s going to be hard for them to make the return they hoped to make from their investment.

Nvidia hasn’t lost their competitive edge. They’re still making the best hardware for AI computing. The demand for AI compute is likely going to increase.

It’s also embarrassing for OpenAI. How could they have missed this?

Yeah, but if anything, this should be good news for Nvidia. Better access to software is good for hardware companies. This is mostly bad news for software companies like OpenAI who got lots of catching up to do.

Agree, but the market doesn’t think rationally.

Better access to software is good for hardware companies. Nvidia is still the best company when it comes to this kind of computing hardware.

That’s the problem. It’s irrational and has always been.

I don’t understand why people are selling off. AI companies will just make bigger models, and then everything will be back to the same cost of compute again.

Rise of social media

If they struggle figuring out the market for Vision Pro I’m not sure how they can succeed with AR glasses.

It costs a lot of money to keep a terminally ill person alive.

I believe we should keep terminally ill people alive for as long as possible if that’s what they want. We shouldn’t deny anyone healthcare. But there are those who prefer to end their agony quick, and I think we should respect their wish.

I think it’s strange that we spend so much money on healthcare on people who rather don’t want to. Better to use that money on people who want to continue living.

This is my thought, but I think many young men are (rightfully) frustrated, but they don’t know what they’re frustrated about. It’s hard to get a job - especially without higher education. It’s hard to buy a home and build a family. Many young men are increasingly more alone.

At the same time, there’s a lot of talk about the ” white male privilege”. ”What privilege?”, they might think. They don’t feel particularly privileged about their situation.

And then they find people like Jordan Peterson who seem to speak for their struggles. For first time they hear someone seem to understand them. And they point to the (very wrong) diagnosis of the situation: it’s the woke identity politics fault! But that’s good enough for them, and that’s where the alt-right pipeline starts.

There are two types of people. Those who think Elon is the modern day Edison, and those who think Elon is the modern day Edison.

He’s autistic, so he can’t possibly know it’s inappropriate.

The world is truly turning to hell when even the message ” please have mercy for all people” is too radical.

Conservatives would probably be first in line to crucify him if they lived back then.

It happens when there’s no meaningful competition, and when the friction of switching to a competing product is too high. Companies want to make more money with less. If you can get away with doing less without losing a significant amount of customers, then you will do it.

For example, the problem with switching social media is that you have to rebuild all your connections. They can make it worse, because customers aren’t willing to switch.

Another example is Windows. If you’re dependent on a program that only works on Windows it’s hard to make to jump to Linux.

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

That projection.

My first reaction when seeing the salute was ” oh come on, it can’t be that bad… oh it’s way worse than I thought”

The least batshit insane thing PragerU has ever said.

As a man who’s struggling with dating, Bumble has always been more effective for me than Tinder

The catch about Lemmy is that degenerates like me are here

I’m meaning more in the sense of a wearable head device developed by a big tech company. It’s heavily marketed as the next big thing. Many talk about it - both with anticipation and concern. And when it finally releases, it’s quickly forgotten about.

Hololens did the same.

It’s Google Glass all over again.
