- Comment on Micron says driverless cars and robots will need 300GB of RAM 2 weeks ago:
This is not credible. A self promoting stock pump and dump PR. Vision AI models are smaller than text models. They do need fast/faster GPUs, but less memory. Very narrow purposed AI/Neural Network models need less memory because the memory is more about storing facts than logic/reasoning capability. LLM breakthroughs in benchmark score/GB are currently having more gains by smaller models than frontier largest models. 32gb is a reasonable ceiling for memory requirement. Robots can swap in task specific AI models as well.

- Comment on Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora 2 weeks ago:
A big, stupid magic trick: As these companies get desperate, expect someone — especially OpenAI — to try and show something “new and crazy” as a means of trying to turn the narrative. When or if this happens, look very carefully at what they say about the product’s availability, or what it can do, or who they show it to.
Alternative scenario — Sora launches: If OpenAI gets desperate, it may move up the public launch of Sora, its generative video product. Doing so will only cause more problems — there isn’t a chance in hell that Sora is profitable, and I’m fairly sure it’s even more expensive to run than ChatGPT, and I imagine its visual inconsistencies and hallucinations would make for some entertaining content for YouTubers and tech reporters.
It was a horseman, just not the part where they cancel it a few months later.
To be fair to OpenAI, they are now saying “just use ChatGPT for video too”. Good chance that Disney cancelled them before they cancelled Sora
- Comment on OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform 2 weeks ago:
See, @CodeBlooded@programming.dev 's goofing off with free version is what destroyed the AI bubble. Of course, he wasn’t going to convert to paid service.
- Comment on OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform 2 weeks ago:
Sora 2 was massive lost leader for OpenAI, and a massive basis for its compute demand. Images and video use expensive compute time, and its ambition level was high before Seadance 2, and small open models. With its falling behind in coding/office LLMs as well, only Skynet/Government can pay for its roadmap.

Current public debt is $31.27T. At 4% average interest that is $1.25T/year in interest. Recent 0.4% rise in interest rates is an extra $125B in interest. Over $6k/year in interest per American 18-64. Was a $2.5T increase in debt and obligations for FY25. Another huge number is $15T in future benefits for Federal workers. $75k/working age adult.
The '26 budget deficit will be much higher

- Comment on Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive 2 weeks ago:
uh oh… if only GPUs could do proof of work mining, if the AI thing gets oversupplied.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive 2 weeks ago:
Sam Altman floated paying employees in chatGPT tokens, that surely their landlord will accept. The main motive would be being broke. Nvidia is not broke, but it is weird as fuck to be comparing it to salary, if it doesn’t segue into the OpenAI plan. The $500k salary example would seem to generate more tokens than you could have time to skim over in review.
- Comment on How the Iran war could derail the AI boom 2 weeks ago:
The biggest user of Helium is MRIs at about 40% of global demand. Chips were 20%, but maybe they are catching up. Since AI chips, or even ddr5, has such huge profit margins, expect MRIs to be less insurable instead. No more fiber optics or quantum computing research.

Lamestream media refuses to keep America first demonism of democrat interference in Dijon mustard scandal. The midterms will still hopefully focus on the important undeniable America first accomplishment: The glorious White House ballroom, where patriots will vote their conscience on supporting the party that keeps Trump alive for
26 more years. - Comment on There's always money in the banana stand 2 weeks ago:
And I thought the US was a $200B damage hurricane away from debt collapse
- Comment on There's always money in the banana stand 2 weeks ago:
This is a really huge amount of money, FYI. Itemization of it isn’t yet available until it gets to congress, but some estimates of $30B-$50B are for “regional/global needs” that are essentially repairs/reconstruction of previous capabilities now lost. If your loving congresscritters don’t pay, then China will take over GCC. ROC/Japan allotments are unlikely to be prioritized, but then likely to leave US orbit. China has seriousfaced offered Taiwan peaceful reunification in exchange for some sweet LNG.
- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 2 weeks ago:
1500 camera alternative (motion detection monitoring) seems reasonable enough. The black mirror machine gun turret is needed for marketing/mission improvement.
- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 2 weeks ago:
Coreweave’s cost of debt is 8%. with 10 years life and no maintenance/electricity cost, that is $54k/year (generously low cost). A security guard can have a gun/rape whistle that stops an intruder, whereas for the robot that would be a premium classified extra option.

This is very expensive compared to open Chinese dog platforms that have much more deployments. I don’t know the hardware capabilities comparison among alternatives, but they just need to climb stairs and have a camera, even if “all humanity will

- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
In addition to providing the cheapest energy in the world on generally useless/valueless land, that is publicly owned because it is useless, solar is increasing the land value. OP mentions grazing use, and a wind break for dust storms. Where Chinese deployment costs are under 50c/watt = $100/sq meter deployed where $60/square meter including bare land buffers, bringing land value close to $1/square meter of agriculture quality land, makes that bare land rental value of $4000/partial hectare a good return on the $6000/solar used hectare, not to mention the energy value generated, or the land surrounding the hectare being improved.

There is a price between $10m/kg and $100m/kg that Iranians sell enriched uranium to US to satisfy US denuclearization aims, and Iran gets its reparations/reconstruction concession, and full trade access to the world.
