I long for the headline that Sam Altman in total collapse ate his own pistol.
once thiel stops pulling his string.
Can’t wait to buy some god damn HDDs for my NAS when this is all over. Let the prices crash baby.
Will be interesting to see what the community does to the over-abundant vector matrizes calculators. Probably run DOOM on.
I bought RAM just in the cusp of the jump. September I put it in the cart waiting for Black Friday and October came by and it was up 50% and I jumped on.
But I’m deleting stuff on my NAS. I neeeed some big drives.
I finally bit the bullet months ago and invested into LTO8 for my cold storage, I still need to buy drives at some point, but at least I’ve got a decent path to put shit in the mean time so I don’t gotta delete anything lolol
What did that set you back for how much storage?
Hmm iirc the physical setup (tape drive, auto loader, HBA card for my server) set me back ~2.5k (with the bulk of that being the drive itself) and then the actual tapes was prob another ~1k for 200TBs raw, but more like 100TB actual usable since I use another tape for a backup off-site copy
Almost $4k.
sigh
Not your fault but damn.
But I’m deleting stuff on my NAS.
Yeah … until drives become cheap again, my solution is just to go through and see what data I can afford to live without, then delete it to free up more space.
Amen
Even if the AI bubble collapses tomorrow (it won’t), to see lower consumer prices you would either need old stock to be marked down or the fabs that are currently making AI cards to switch to making gaming cards and those cards to be manufactured and come through the market. That will take months. Not only does the bubble need to pop, but everyone involved needs to believe and accept that it has popped, otherwise they will continue to keep prices high and AI production high in the hope that their plans remain correct.
Remember that it’s psychologically much harder to accept making a less money than you thought, which happens when you mark down prices, compared to making more money than you thought, which happens when you mark up prices! This is why prices tend to be “downwards sticky” and so, instead of going down when demand drops/supply improves, they instead tend to stagnate while other prices continue to rise gradually with inflation.
Also, when the AI bubble pops, nobody will have any GPU money because they need it to bail out the AI companies to prevent the global economy from blowing up and flinging the entire cosmos into Satan’s buttcrack.
By that time, nobody will be able to blink without AI because everyone is using it all the time for everything even though everyone knows the AI bubble is going to pop and the world will go to shit because everyone depends on AI.
I have no idea what we’re doing, but I’m sure it’s fun to watch from far away.
Who said anything about wanting gaming GPUs?
ah I didn’t realise you actually wanted to release your own model 🤔
Release? Probably not
But the LLM tech is cool to experiment with, and there are useful use cases, but trying to run frontier class open source LLMs takes a boat load of VRAM lolol
Remember how the housing bubble never popped?
Uh are you ignoring the huge financial crises, and how banks had to be bailed out?
I remember housing costs NEVER going down.
Yeah… :(
The bubble popping probably won’t help since they’ve stopped making consumer hardware altogether.
I don’t wanna rent the hardware for my instance forever :(
I doubt that we will get much better prices when the bubble crashes.
The bubble popping will take out a huge chunk of the economy with it. We might not be able to afford more drives even if they come down in price.
So more or less this: https://youtu.be/T9d6lrvzM9o
How long is this going* to take?
