Can we get a boxing match? That would be fun to watch

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I'd be fine if they brought back old-fashioned duels. Besides, boxing requires a level of athleticism. I don't really know what altman looks like (and I couldn't give less of a shit) but musk is a disgusting, pale cold ham. Seen those boat photos? 🤮

In case anyone missed it, Deepseek just released models that make OpenAI's best nearly irrelevent... in the open, for anyone to host. For a tiny fraction of the hosting cost.

Even the small distillation that fits on a 24GB VRAM desktop is incredible. And you can host it for others to use for free, with room for batching, like I'm doing right now. And there is so much that's awesome about it, like the SFT training pipeline/code being published and the smaller models being built on top of models from another company (Qwen 2.5).

I don't even care what he's saying now, but don't believe a word that comes out of Altman's mouth. He's a just as much of a greedy con man as Musk, trying to gaslight everyone into thinking OpenAI will be relevant in a year, not a hollow, closed shell that sold out its research directive for cheap short term profit.

24GB VRAM desktop

That's minimum a $1000 GPU if you go red team or $1500 for green.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Dual 3060s are an option. LLMs can be split across GPUs reasonably well.

3090s used to be like $700 used, but ironically they've gone up in price. I got mine for around $800 awhile ago, and stuffed it into 10L PC.

Some people buy used P40s. There are rumors of a 24GB Arc B580. Also, AMD Strix Halo APU laptops/mini PCs can host it quite well, with the right software setup... I might buy an ITX board if anyone ever makes one.

Also, there are 12GB/6GB VRAM distillations too, but 24GB is a huge intelligence step-up.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Totally forgot the 3090 had 24GB. It's definitely still enthusiast territory though.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

For sure.

The 14B distillation is still quite good, and usable on like 10GB GPUs. Maybe 8 with the right settings.

And not a single mention of our Lord and Savior Dr. Daniel Jackson.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well he's kinda busy on the higher plane of existence, or is he back again....or did he come back and then go back again‽

Where in the ~~world~~ planes of existence is Dr Daniel Jackson‽‽

Subtly influencing events to improve the outcome of the Deadelus in their bid to leap between galaxies.

I thought it was about the tv show...

Once again, AI deceived and disappointed us...

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

look, at this point, we may actually be able to create our own sequels with ai... as long as the replicators are kept far away from it.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, how about we don't teach ai about replicators.

Stargate Atlantis is the best Stargate series fight me.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 hours ago

Dr. McKay is best.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

It surely had some amazing moments.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The Wraith were cringe though and you know it.

[–] Metz@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Todd was cool though.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Someone give this poster control of a government agency! They're super extra correct.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

No way, they used facts rather than suck-up, so they're fired already.

Idiot's fight, for the next 4 years. I'm tired already.
