Eh, there's a new shiny thing every 2 months. I'm waiting for the tools to settle down rather than keep up with that treadmill. Or I'll just go find a new career that's more appealing.
- Rover222 8mo agoIt seems that the rate of change will only accelerate.
- coldpie 8mo agoI dunno. At some point the people who make these tools will have to turn a profit, and I suspect we'll find out that 98% of the AI industry is swimming naked.
- Rover222 8mo agoYeah I think it'll consolidate around one or two players. Mostly likely Xai, even though they're behind at the moment. No one can compete with the orbital infrastructure, if that works out. Big if. That's all a different topic. But I feel you, part of me wants to quit too, but can't afford that yet.
- steveBK123 8mo agoI'm sorry but if you are taking orbital datacenters seriously in the same posts as boosting AI, it's hard not to discount your takes on AI severely.
- Rover222 8mo agoIn 4 to 5 years it'll be the dominant source of compute. If you're not taking it seriously... I don't know. But it's coming. Power generation cannot be built quickly enough.
- steveBK123 8mo agoLaunch costs are at best like $1000 per pound to reach LEO. Terrestrial data centers are becoming the size of small cities. In what planet does the $1000/lb headwind ever make this work? ` The only logic to orbital servers is that it’s a libertarian dream to be government regulation free. It is objectively more expensive and difficult to build and maintain by orders of magnitude otherwise.
