I am not buying it. Nvidia clearly has an incentive to sell this as an arms race, which it is; however, to what extent? They are using fear tactics so that the government will pay Nvidia to give it to OpenAI, which will then give it to Oracle, AWS, Microsoft; subsequently, they will buy more GPUs, allowing them to invest it back in OpenAI. One hell of a circular deal, also causing massive tech layoffs and environmental damage. #ai

@nixCraft and an economic bubble that has the potential to cause huge harm
@nixCraft america is not ahead that's a lie
A couple of months ago, he was crying about how the Trump administration's ban on GPU exports to China was a big issue. Now, the Chinese government itself has banned NVIDIA GPUs out of fear of backdoors. So now he is crying about it again, but this time he's changed his tune. These people have absolutely overhyped the machine learning and AI fields for personal gain.
I buy the whole "China is very close behind us" thing...
This doesnt mean the government has to help fund a bubble.
@nixCraft Seeing the USA is like, they seem like a collection of every bad scenario of the modern system.
@nixCraft i don't know If an dystopian autocratic regime with concentration Camps using AI for surveilance should be something you should compare yourself with. But i don't wear leather jackets and don''t bake cringe GPU videos in my kitchen
