The internet survived the Dotcom bubble. Many businesses died, but some survived. The glut of hardware from the dead will end up in the hands of individuals, upstart companies, and the corporations that outlived their peers.
In any case, I believe the definition of frontier AI will change, as would the hardware. My build is based on what local AI is available today, with some wiggle room left over. I believe that it is around 2030, when DDR6 and other major shifts are likely to happen, that we will see the definitions change.
In any case, a Q4 of GLM 5.2 is about 460ish gigs of VRAM+RAM. While expensive, that ain't out of reach for an AI hobbyist.
White Hats can just set a script kiddiez AI to the task of jiggling doorknobs and seeing what happens. The blade cuts both ways. In the long run, I think automated defense testing will make cybersecurity much better.
There is a key difference, that makes the genie impossible to bottle: People can run local AI on their own machines. Fans of nuclear power can't easily build nuclear plants in their backyard. A pity, the world could use more nuclear energy. 😔
Anyhow, I am looking forward to someday using frontier-grade AI on my PC. Just need the AI bubble to pop, so that I can afford the terrabytes of memory that would be needed to comfortably run it.
I bought some DDR5 RDIMMs, 2x16gb 5600mhz. Cost me $606 at Ebay, but I haven't yet got a chance to install and test them. Word of warning: stay on top of your shipping order, and if the seller is slow to ship or the shipment is late, message them and open a case with Ebay.
Hopefully my sticks are the real thing, but the biggest problem is the belabored shipping. I bought a Threadripper 7965WX on Ebay for $1500, and the return window is closing. It sucks when a seller holds up an entire project by being dumb about getting stuff mailed.
I tried buying some rather cheap DDR5 RDIMMs through Alibaba. The process to actually buy is pretty vague, and I found that the suppliers I contacted really suck at communication. The two I spoke to, didn't acknowledge the details I was actually asking about, and spoke broken English at best. The shipper I spoke with, Cooperate Logistics, had fairly clear communication, but was very slow at conversation - it took about two or three days for our dialogues to conclude. They tried to buy the goods on my behalf, but they couldn't - the supplier had to send the goods over to the shipper's place, THEN it would go to me.
There is potential in buying from Alibaba, but many of the suppliers feel sketchy, and the bad communications make it hard to feel trust. I ultimately gave up. 😔
I wouldn't be surprised if the Epstein Class uses this to find "product" for their islands.
I like AI, but reckless placement of a data center is a stupid thing to do. Like any useful structure, such as power plants, it should be placed into a location that is suitable for the task, built to code, won't harm the community, nor destroy the ecology.
It is very revealing of politicians when they willfully throw themselves into the Krazy Klown Kar that underpins the elite's economy.
I think they rebranded. I kinda figured that Massgrave was some sort of holdover of 90's teen edginess or something.
Just reposting something. Most of it probably applies to Windows 10 too.

PSA, for people sticking to Windows:
You can get a reasonable level of privacy by installing Windows Enterprise via RUFUS, which also has options for removing restrictions during installation. Massgravel is used to activate your copy of Windows, the Github also having .ISOs for you to use with RUFUS.
ShutUp10 is a piece of software that goes a step further, allowing you to toggle off many bad things, uninstall Microsoft's AI, and gives a description of what you are tweaking does. The premium version also automatically applies your settings at all times, reverting Microsoft's constant tweaking of your settings.
IMO, this is just the older generations thinking badly of the young. Be it rock n' roll, D&D, internet, smartphones, or AI, the older generations will not understand the priorities, workflows, and conditions of their younger peers.
Opposing AI is like rejecting the bicycle, sickle, or calculator. The thing that people should contemplate isn't whether to use AI, but rather how to use it. Do we want only wealthy elites to have access to AI, or should everyone be able to use it? Should we use AI to teach people, and if so, what subjects? How do we prevent people from falling into poverty? And so forth.
Outright rejection of AI is foolish, and simply means that the peoples who adapt to a world with AI, will come ahead of those who have isolated themselves.
Around 4 years. The creation of any microchip requires extremely stable geology, pristine rooms, high levels of training, Scrooge McDuck moneybins, and so on. It isn't an industry that can turn on a dime.
