"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.

I agree, which is why I shared that I recently saw a prototype ASIC-esque PCI card. The local hardware is coming, the models just need to settle down some before anyone will commit to building that hardware.
In the '90s and '00s you needed a zillion dollars of custom Silicon Graphics workstations and months of processing to do the FX for movies like "The Terminator". In 2020 you could replicate it in a few hours with commodity hardware.
The LLMs and AI will be the same, it just needs more than 5 years to get there.
Yeah if you can run them locally using a small board, that'll last.
