The moat is in the compute and the energy access.
And further down the line in chips, which is why Elon is building a fab now.
There are plenty of capable models on HuggingFace, yet I have no way of running them.
- cedws 7mo agoThat fab will never be delivered. In five years you might see the manufacturing equivalent of a person dancing in spandex.
- QQ00 7mo agoThe only company that musk own and actually achieve something is spacex. so I believe you. He likes to hype things beyond what is actually possible. spacex is engineering masterpiece with how they revolutionize the space industry.
- declan_roberts 7mo agoDo you know about his other company and what they do?
- khalic 7mo agoGive it a few years, or month. Tiny models are getting outrageously good
- mobattah 7mo agoExactly. We’ll see the cost of AI continue to drop. I was saying this for years about Tesla’s FSD - they finally had to give in and drop the price to stay competitive.
- dbt00 7mo agoFSD still sucks ass compared to Waymo.
- theshrike79 7mo agoTheoretically it's possible to use just cameras for FSD. In practice it takes so much local compute it's not feasible with current tech. With LIDAR it's so much easier, a single data point contains direction + distance with no calculation needed.
- spprashant 7mo agoI wonder if this is why the tech cartel is buying up all the hardware? If the average user gets convinced they could run LLMs for cheap at home, you cannot trap users in your walled garden anymore.
- QQ00 7mo agoThey actually need it because the demand is higher than expected from consumers. And because they need a moat since every big corporation trying to capture that market too, they need the moat for the biggest compute and energy they can get. Also businesses is were the money at, not regular consumers (especially tech-savvy folk who run models locally).
- tempodox 7mo ago> the demand is higher than expected from consumers. Where does that assertion come from? I wouldn’t believe anything these companies say publicly.
- owebmaster 7mo ago> They actually need it because the demand is higher than expected from consumers Is it? OpenAI just got a lot of available computing in their spreadsheets after killing Sora
- nutjob2 7mo ago> which is why Elon is building a fab now At least he says he's doing that. It doesn't really make sense since you're not going to achieve an advanced node from a standing start in a practical time frame and cost. Sounds like more Musk flavored vapor.
- re-thc 7mo ago> It doesn't really make sense since you're not going to achieve an advanced node from a standing start in a practical time frame and cost. They already announced a partnership with Intel.
