"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.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- 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.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- 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.
You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.
Effective reports:
- "The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope"
- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

Nvidia is releasing Spark now, which can run agentic workloads on 128gb of unified RAM
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?
And that's going to he the new default platform for smart ovens or something?
Because Anthropic up there Is claiming that LLMs can propagate through IoT devices.
The article from Anthropic describes how a small agentic model~15-50gb can be distributed on an inference server hosted across a network of 10-20 IoT devices like smart-TVs, which can have up to 4gb RAM--higher end IoT appliances can also have 1-4GB RAM to hold a meaningful shard of a 30B model.
