Also Brockman:
>And so, you really
want every person to be able to have
their own dedicated GPU, right? So,
you're talking order of 10 billion GPUs
we're going to need. This deal we're
talking about, it's for millions of GPUs. Like, we're still three orders of
magnitude off of where we need to be. So
we're doing our best to provide compute
availability, but we're heading to this
world where the whole economy is powered
by compute... (15 min in)
- dustbunny 1y ago"this world where the whole economy is powered by compute" Is actually laughable.
- cman1444 1y agoI agree, though it's not out of the question that there could one day be a single country whose economy relies entirely on data centers, similarly to petrostates. Maybe we'll call them datastates, or compustates.
- dustbunny 1y agoWe have that today - Sealandia! Also where does today's Taiwan fit in that spectrum? Is it a "compustate"? I agree with the idea but it is no certainty.
- tim333 1y agoRewatching the video it strikes me that there is no talk of how the compute will be paid for. Altman is saying there is so much demand for compute but a lot of that is because he's setting the price for users to zero in spite of the service costing a lot to provide. I guess they figure once they have the users they'll monetize somehow but that bit's kind of iffy.
- johnnienaked 1y agoIs there? Is there actual organic demand for compute or is it all just a mirage created by the companies themselves?
