There are people who should care

If you have a bullshit job then fuck it (except you’re still damagibg both the environment and the economy just to be lazy) but I’m talking about people in roles that are actually useful to society.

The GPUs designed for inference (slop) are not the same kind of GPUs that run video games either.

Here’s an article explaining why HBM is really difficult to integrate into a real computer, and why doing so would eliminate nearly all of the advantages of using HBM (while failing to eliminate the things that make HBM much more expensive to both produce and power than regular DRAM).

Your proposed “worst case” scenario would be far better than reality’s “best case” scenario.

(The real best case scenario would have been to not build all this worthless bullshit in the first place, but its too late for that).

I don’t know enough about the mechanical workings of things like radiological image recognition to know whether or not HBM would be useful for them, but hopefully you’re right.

I believe HBM makes up more than a quarter of current production, with all 3 major memory manufacturers prioritizing HBM.

They asked me how to modify a pdf because there was a typo

I said you just change the typo in the original document and then remake the pdf

They said they couldn’t do that, because they didn’t have the source document, because they made it with a “resume generator”

I said “What’s a resume generator? Like an LLM wrote it for you?” They said “I don’t know”.

So yeah, they just took the LLM output and ran with it, only changing one typo.

No one pressured them to do this, they did it of their own volition, and it is pathetic.

No one except for AI companies wants teachers to use AI, they're explicitly supposed to stop students from relying on it, and this fool can’t even recognize an LLM while using it themselves

The only people pushing the use of LLMs are the people who profit from their use, moronic CEOs, and people who can’t understand simple concepts like sentience.

This teacher is a lazy dumbass. You can call me harsh if you want, but I see myself as a realist, harsh or otherwise.

Almost everyone

It’s not better for the drunk people dining at IHOP at 4am

The correct way to use AI is to not use it, and instead use your brain.

There might still be time to change course before the cognitive atrophy sets in.

Beyond that, I judge people who rely on chatbots, or put trust in them.

I look down on them. They literally cannot think for themselves, it’s fucking pathetic.

Or they could just actually not use it?

Using it and then obfuscating it’s use is just creating more unnecessary work to end up with a lower quality finished product.

It’s not really that difficult to just not use it, I’ve gone literally my entire life without it and nothing has been “too difficult”.

Thousands of generations have passed before me without using it.

There is no element of inevitability to this. You can just not use it.

My friend (acquaintance maybe) who is a language teacher told me he used a “Resume Generator” to make his resume for him earlier this week.

A resume is the easiest shit ever, it’s one page, and you know all of the information that should be on it. This “language teacher” had to use an LLM to make his, because he’s a dumb lazy bitch.

I feel bad for any kids who end up with such a worthless instructor… I honestly hope he doesn’t find work, the kids deserve better.

They’re also really gonna want to recoup some of the money they’re about to lose once they realize that their HBM customers don’t actually have the money to pay for all the memory they ordered, and never will.

The HBM (slop memory) doesn’t work in a real computer.

They’ll have to just get rid of it because it’s literally useless for anything other than slop generation.

So regardless of what our dumbass market dictates, that HBM is useless, full stop.

They will, but converting the facilities is not a quick process.
