Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCsDell is now shifting it focus this year away from being ‘all about the AI PC.’

  Goddamn Dell of all companies is the only one that seems to get it. I’m shocked.

  Welcome to the world outside of your own ass, Dell. The air is fresher out here.

    I want a new shiny thinkpad but I don’t want the stupid copilot button that I’ll need to reprogram when I install linux.

  The TPU is not for you, it’s for tech companies to surveil, train, and exfiltrate your data at every level of the stack from hardware to application in a “secure” fashion. The “features” they proscribe feel forced because they are - they exist to make it seem like you’re getting the next new thing, when really the features that you actually want (like an ad-free experience and a local Windows account) have been so enshitified to hell that they functionally no longer exist.

  • The hardware manufacturer gets to sell you extra hardware you don’t want.

  • The OS vendor runs classification on all of your pictures, documents, and software.

  • The browser vendor sees every site you visit and when, every product you buy, and every porn site you watch.

  • Then, it all gets trained into a personal model that is cryptographically tied to you that can be queried at any time by tech companies, data brokers, advertisers, and law enforcement.

  You get to ask a finders-fee-biased chatbot which product to buy. AI is the ultimate surveillance and advertising device.

    Yeah, any AI with that much visibility into my life needs to be a locally run and personally controlled AI.

    But frankly as much as I might like that for myself, I don’t want it because then it’ll be baked into work computers with the same set of circumstances except now you have to placate an AI for career advancement.

    On the other hand, I just had an amazing idea for a n AI-powered USB device which emulates a keyboard but just does random SRS BIZNESS tasks like 16 hours a day. It’ll find articles on the internet and graph all the numbers (even page numbers) in a spreadsheet. It’ll create PowerPoints out of YouTube videos. It’ll draft marketing materials and email them to random internet addresses. You’ll be president of the company by the end of the month if AI has anything to say about it!

    Not on Linux

  On a related note, TIL AMD has an evolving competitor to Apple Silicon, except they named it “Ryzen AI” so everyone could ignore it. They apparently announced a couple new chips this week, and if it weren’t for a cgchannel article mentioning it in connection with Blender, video rendering, etc., it never would’ve registered in my brain that the SoCs might ever be useful for anything. Still RDNA 3.x, so meh, but I’m looking forward a future SoC with drastically improved RTX cores on par with Nvidia to use in a render farm at some point. They’re definitely not going to beat Nvidia if they keep using stupid names for their chips, though.

    Those apus are top tier in the mini pc world, but cost a pretty penny for sure.

  just in time for ram prices to explode

  These AI PCs/Notebooks aren’t even able to run the really big models. For those you’d need a 5000$ card. And for the smaller models a good graphics card is often enough.

  For a real AI PC we would need new technology or graphics cards with more ram (the last one would suprise me with current ram prices)

    I’m still sanguine that 1.58 BITNET models take off. Those could plausibly run at good clip on existing CPUs, no GPU needed.

    Super basic medium article for this not in know

    medium.com/…/reimagining-ai-efficiency-a-practica…

    Necessity spite is usually a good driver…though given BITNET is Microsoft IP…ehh…I won’t hold my breath for too long.

  Almost nobody takes advantage of all the AI features they offer, Dell realized this

  Do NPUs/TPUs even work with ComfyUI? That’s the only “AI PC” I’m interested in.

  • L_Acacia@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    The support is bad for custom nodes and NPUs are fairly slow compared to GPUs (expect 5x to 10x longer generation time compared to 30xx+ GPUs in best case scenarios) NPUs are good at running small models efficiently, not large LLM / Image models.

    NPUs yes, TPUs no (or not yet). Hailo is meant to be releasing a TPU “soon” that accelerates LLM.
