Comment on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says his company is 'out of GPUs' to which I reply 'welcome to the party, pal'

  Of course, Altman is referring to chonky enterprise-grade GPUs like those used in the Nvidia DGX B200 and DGX H200 AI platforms—the latter of which OpenAI was the first to take delivery of last year.

  You wouldn’t be using these for gaming (well, not of the 3D graphics sort).

  They run in the tens of thousands of dollars each, as I recall.

  Probably more correct to call them “parallel compute accelerator” cards than “GPUs”. I don’t think that they have a video out, even.

    He doesn’t deserve them.

    Bet he’s not even using them for anything except a Govt Subsidized Crypto farm.

  This makes me want a game called “Torment Nexus.” That shit sounds like a dope-ass Soulslike.

    There’s an old CRPG called Planescape Torment that’s pretty brutal. And it’s sequel, Torment: Tides of Numinera.

      Hello, I heard there is a Planescape club here. Recently replayed it. Can confirm it’s not nostalgia, old games are better.

      It’s my favorite RPG from the 90’s.

      I haven’t played Tides of Numinera though.

        I highly recommend it. It’s not a direct sequel. But I can’t explain further because spoilers. But I can say it’s definitely worth a try.

      Planescape is awesome. The only game that came close to its story (and one I’ve played) is Disco Elysium, which is quite a feat. Given how DE is praised everywhere.

        I loved Disco Elysium.
