"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Oh yeah everyone has and can afford that
Lol what? This conversation is about the capacity of agentic AI systems replicating across cloud infrastructure, not the affordability of laptops for individual consumers.
The point was you don't need an entire server farm. You can rent an 80gb H100 on Lambda for $2/hr. A 125gb Spark laptop costs $5k.
If it comes down to an effective worm-like agentic distillation at 50gb, the cost to sustain a small swarm comes way down to the point that the swam could sustain its own activities through different revenue streams.
Once the capability is there at that size, it's no longer Russia, Iran, or North Korea who could easily drop a billion dollars to jumpstart it. It's any criminal organization or asshole rich guy who can jumpstart it for the price of a nice car.
You replied to a comment about a guy's laptop lol
Lol and what was that comment a response to?
