An NVIDIA consumer GPU sells for 50+% or more than an equivalent AMD GPU. Because people are buying NVIDIA GPUs to run local models instead of AMD ones.
I did the same thing, I paid 50% more to get an 5070 Ti instead of the equivalent AMD.
This is probably good for gamers, AMD GPUs are not price inflating to the same degree as NVIDIA, because they are bad at LLMs.
> That was the reason for comparing them in the first place: based on performance, they are direct competitors, or at least they are meant to be. However, as things stand today, there is a massive price divide between the two, with the RTX Ti GPU now commanding a premium of more than 50%.
AMD also deprecates cards and throw in wrenches for cards that are hot in used markets. Latest ROCm kind of works on MI50 but requisite files are taken out of just standard Ubuntu installation. They truly don't understand marketing.
They are actually great at LLMs but you need to invest in keeping up with community tuning efforts. But I am fine with most thinking they are bad at LLMs, because I keep buying more of them!
While the logo somewhat like the shape of the Star Trek franschise Starfleet logo, the small text reads 'Starship Troopers'-inspired, and to remind, in that Heinlein fiction human societies pride themselves in becoming authoritarian. That's the scary part.
I've read the whole thing, but I usually read the end paragraphs of long articles because that's where he point is made.
Leading to it is:
> A recent report issued by Britain’s most important cultural funding body, the Arts Council, warned against the use of “terms like excellence” which may promote “unhelpful hierarchies about what kinds of work are valued”.’
Which I find despairing. Article ends with:
> The cultural elite has abandoned cultural elitism.
So the point goes far beyond 'social media despair', it goes to say that the entire culture is regressing.
Understanding human interaction nuance to an exact degree. For example, even when given all the scripts of the Seinfeld TV show, they still cannot come up with a new script does not feel as good as any of them (once they can, I want to watch these episodes..).
Yes, it's after multiple attempts at the problem. It's hard to nudge it to have it come up with an algorithm that generates 'interestingly difficult' levels.
