my deepseek hot take is that they used AT LEAST $1 to train, and that they used AT LEAST 1 gpu

@iScienceLuvr Disengage from normie discourse on AI. Trust me. If normies are being dumb we can just take their money through the stock market. I remember garbage in/garbage out and synth data discourse really bothered me when that was the big normie AI thing.

@DavidSHolz Wait I recall you telling me you were bearish on photonics cause of not being able to do non-linearities. Did something change your mind?

Deepseek discourse is so nonsensical. Why are we comparing the cost of a singular training run for a single model with an R&D budget being distributed across an entire industry?
Isn't it ironic? A hundred EV companies have bloomed under communism, while capitalism subsidizes one moron. A startup has trained an AI for $5.5 million under communism, while capitalist AI requires $500 billion in government support. 1/11

@iScienceLuvr Would you rather this or the wave of artists spamming black images thinking it would break Stable Diffusion in real time.

Frustration I've had with cursor recently: I will have a script that is just a class definition and I'll ask it to write an "if name == "__main__"" at the bottom to test the class. It'll ignore the class entirely and do something random, as if it can't see it. Anyone else?

@a_musingcat Just view him as an athlete. Imagine a professional bodybuilder saying "I've decided to stop taking X supplement because it's not helping muscle growth". It would be such a mundane statement. Granted, similar to my hypothetical case, you can't generalize from Bryan to others.

when i was a wee lad (first year) i thought ddp was scary and hard so never bothered but tbh trying it again its *way* easier + more fun than trying to use accelerate/other libs is fsdp even more fun?

@LessThan12Parsc @DavidSHolz Seeing the stars instills a sense of wonder that can change someones life trajectory. My dad, who grew up in a village, told me this when I was a kid but I didn't understand until I got addicted to SpaceEngine as a teenager. Light pollution is a tragedy.
