With the only saving grace being that he's actually like a hesitant coyote not big enough to take a combined Europe, but with a bomb strapped to its chest.

My take is they should be fighting the corporate API vs open source models war, instead of just "screw all AI" which really means "screw open source AI and let Sam Altman enshittify everything"
Especially on Lemmy.
It'd be like blanket railing against social media and ultimately getting the Fediverse banned, while Facebook and X walk away.
Perplexity (or open source equivalents) are much better for this.
Yeah, well, this is what everyone thought in Georgia, and Ukraine in 2014.
He's not going to change. His chosen successor probably won't either.
We also knew exactly who Trump is. We have a very long history.
I particularly love stuff about him before he was in politics, like the Motley Fool podcast on how he duped public investors for his private company through pumping up real estate values. They went to his office, saw this weird array of gaudy decoration and oddly attractive employees, sat down with him, and saw through his lie. Then made the only short in their firm's entire history... and it paid off.
There's no excuse of bias. You can't blame any politicians. It's just him. And while not perfect by any means, you have to squint hard to see Kamala in the same light.
Last time bothering you! I used to be really into the GAN space myself, but the newer diffusion models really blow them away. Check this out: https://github.com/mit-han-lab/nunchaku
This can squeeze Flux 1D onto your 3080, and (with the right pipeline/settings) it should blow anything else away at "enhancing" a low res image with img2img. It should also work with batching and torch.compile so you can get quite a lot of throughput from your 3080. Of course, there's no temporal consistency yet (or it may be, it's hard to keep up with all the adapter releases), but I'm sure its coming... And you can kinda hack some in with 2D models anyway.
Pick up a 3090 if you can!
Then you can combine it with your 3080 and squeeze Qwen 72B in, and straight up beat GPT-4 in some use cases.
Also, TabbyAPI can be tricky to set up, ping me if you need help.
And never watch them?
For a while, yes...
If you like Castlevania, try DOTA Dragon's Blood.
And both Avatar series, if you somehow haven't seen them.
Just saying, 3rd party databases are great: https://reelgood.com/
It's incredible how much more useful they are than the stupid rec algorithms.
I don't think anyone wants a hot war in NK, and I'm not sure what good it would do.
Europe needs to (and should have) get off their butts and send every piece of hardware they have to Ukraine though, even cutting edge ones. Maybe even enforce a no-fly zone. As I keep asking, what are they waiting for... Spain to invade France? No, they built all this stuff to deter Soviet aggression, and its just sitting there, rotting instead of doing its job. If Ukraine would have stayed secure, they basically would never have to worry about this again.
Now they have no excuse. Russia clearly has no shame. And it's almost (but not quite) too late.
I feel like they are dropping the ball in the GPU space though, both on desktop and in servers.
They'renot really leveraging it. They killed the steam deck line of "small core count, GPU heavy APUs" which is why Valve hasn't updated it and competitors seem so power hungry. They all but killed server APUs, making them mega expensive and HPC only. They're finally coming out with a M-Pro like consumer APU, but it took until 2025, and pricing will probably be a joke just like their Radeon Pro GPUs...
And I don't even wanna get into the AI space. They get like 99% there and then go "nah, we don't really care about this market, let Nvidia have their monopoly and screw everyone over." It makes me want to pull my hair out.
