This is interesting as I'm working in a TSMC partnered fab and it is dead slow and other TSMC locations have laid off a few technicians due to how slow it is. Maybe it's going to ramp up but it doesn't feel like it, from the rumblings I'm hearing they are begging for work.

Sounds like market manipulation. Not the first time Asians have tried that with technology.

I have no idea and I can only go off what little information I'm given from the higher ups. But typically when it's this slow the layoffs are coming (I was in the industry 15 years). As bad as they are clamoring for chips it should be balls out. Might be scumbags just making a killing off RAM prices, who knows.

This shit goes back to Intel's earliest days, and what drove them to focus on CPU. Andy Grove talked about getting out of "memories" because of slants pulling shenanigans. This is in the early 70's. Pushing 60 years of slants being slants.

well fuck i guess nothing is stopping this stupid fake AI train for a while at least



it would be cool if real AI would spontaneously arise from all these LLM bullshit but its unlikely and it would probably also just skynet/grey goo us

All BS. It is 12B now and rest delivered on milestones....that they will never meet.

I'd like to know who is dumping cash into this turd of a company. Even the 12B is a bit of a mystical figure, more like $100M or so, and I know who bought this shitty little farm.

Interesting to watch.

In fairness, 'start with something simple then scale it up a lot' is the leading explanation for human intelligence. I agree it is unlikely though, but despite grandiose claims from Altman, I doubt anyone is seriously expecting or wanting AGI out of the LLMs.

'Why should I do anything for you ?' from an AI is not a question that can be effectively answered via ethical means - the hype is predicated on infinite unpaid labor.

Life would be 100% better if AI was deleted in its entirety today UNLESS you have money invested. I think this will go down as the biggest grift of all time in the history books (written by AI, because we will all die when they suck our lakes dry)
