Have we hit Peak AI yet, or can we go even harder on the ai-washing? > It's the first modem that has so much AI, it actually increases the range of performance

Have we hit Peak AI yet, or can we go even harder on the ai-washing? > It's the first modem that has so much AI, it actually increases the range of performance of the modem [...] slaps roof of modem This bad boy can fit SO MUCH AI in it

With how much AI hype the recent Apple CPUs got because you can run their NPU with half a terabyte of RAM, I don't think we'll be over it any time soon. If it works like blockchain and NFTs, we'll be reading about AI products for at least another four or five years.

  The new Mac Studio nearly made me lose my shit. I want one so bad. It's only just over a cool $14,000...

    Why do you want one? What would you do with it?

      People can want crazy-fast hardware without having a specific need. I know I want this. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna buy it.

        500? You mean 1,000+, right? :)

      Finally I'll be able to stretch my legs with emacs (aka "eight megabytes and constantly swapping")

      LLMs. Also, leaving web browser tabs open. Also, playing games without having to close/unload either of those. Although probably 128GB would be more than plenty for all that, I still drool at the prospect of having more RAM than I know what to do with.

  Unlike blockchain and NFTs, this curse has some real (very niche and limited) uses, so I'm afraid it will last longer than 4-5 years.

    Niche and limited relative to the outlandish funding and attention they're getting, sure, but they're not that niche.

    And here's me a non-swe using this niche and limited tool to save thousands of dollars a month because I can finally tell a computer what to do without having to crash course python again. Bumpers might be useless for pro bowlers, but they allow people like me to forgo hiring a pro to knock over pins.

  I hate to break it to you, but you’ll be reading about AI products for the rest of your life.

At work we use a website to give appreciation to fellow collegues. Even that website has AI...

Maybe it uses AI to optimize for radio settings? Maybe we should all use AI including AI chips to optimize for c.

Cognitive radio is a thing. I presume the modern modem does have some problems to solve for which we don't know the exact solution. A cursory research returned this: https://www.scribd.com/document/629742504/37817-h00 https://www.scribd.com/document/629742504/37817-h00

At this pace, we will soon go to the grocery store and ask for 5 kg of AI, or insert it into our language as a punctuation mark.
