So...about that "career" you thought you were gonna have....
>>
Even more BS and grift, so that daddy gubbermint can give them another gorillion dollars for AI data centers, so they can buy up every stick of RAM and every GPU ever made.
>>
ah is that so?
then they don't need to nuke economies and the games industry anymore right? They can stop asking for more fucking gpus?

then you didn’t read the article FUDfaggot

>>107368539
calculations have always been at the speed of light, thats how electricity works. whoever wrote this shit is a retard.
whoever believes this article is also a retard
>>
>>107368628
It's sensationalist crap.
It's talking about photonics and word-associates around it.
Likely written by an AI like most "journalism" today.

Can anyone give a non-pop science article answer on whether this technology is actually going to go anywhere?
>>
>>107368539
I'm gonna be an EE engineer specialized in antenna design, AI can't take my job anytime soon
>>
>>107369414
Haven't genetic algorithms already taken antennae design
>>
>>107368598
Where's the paper or name?
>>
>>107369475
No they haven't.
and even if they had, the simulation part is only 30% of the process of building an antenna. 70% is fine tuning and correcting the measurements based on the values that you get from the measurements and experiments.
>>
>>107368539
I wonder at what speed were calculations done before?
>>
>>107368628
>calculations have always been at the speed of light, thats how electricity works.
The cars driving down the tunnel have always been the speed of the car, that's how tunnels work.

Electricity does move at light speed, but light speed isn't a constant no matter what the fucked up maths tries to do with it. The medium it's moving through matters. Same rewls apply for electricity. Media matters.

>whoever wrote this shit is a retard.
Yes.

>>107369409
>whether this technology is actually going to go anywhere?
Debateable. Those invested in it say yes. It does function, and does have potential.

>>107369414
>AI can't take my job anytime soon
It'll be sooner than you might think. First it'll help you. Then it'll almost replace you. Then it will replace you. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.

do you guys ever get bored of posting retarded shit like this? are you paid by someone?
>>
>>107369729
It's not worthless. There is value.

As much as some would hope, I think not. But there is *some* value. Enough to recover 'investment'? Oh, fuck no. But I'm sure more datacenters and powerstations to run them will solve that
>>
>>107368539
So...about that "nonbinary artist career" you thought you were gonna have..
>>
>>107369409
There's a start up called black semiconductor that wants to make a photonic chip but I haven't seen much of the results
>>
>>107368539
Holy shit we're going back to tube era
>>
>>107368539
Hype maintenance. They're just trying to keep the AI grift going so it doesn't collapse before they've fleeced everyone they can.
>>
>>107369766
>that wants to make a photonic chip
When really what they *should* be doing, is messing with gallium nitride. Physics for silicon get a little squiffy above the 4Ghz mark, which is what's kept core speeds about that for so long. GaN however will happily cycle into the double digits terrahertz...
>>
>>107369817
They aren't using silicon, you can literally look it up on their site.
They use graphene
>>
>>107369837
>you can literally look it up on their site.
Clearly, I had not.

Graphene is an interesting choice. Mostly because it isn't a semiconductor.
>>
Hypesloppers still pushing this even though we can literally chart the diminishing returns of LLM improvements.
>IT'S GONNA TAKE OVER MUH JOBS
Maybe SEO copywriting (which was always temporary) and some data entry jobs (they kinda do okay-ish at parsing PDFs)
>NO MORE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS
Yeah I guess it kinda autocompletes some lines, decently-ish, sometimes.
>>
>>107369409
basically bandwidth issue. you can cram far more signals down a fiber connection using multiplexing than a single copper wire could possibly ever dream of.
>>
>>107369887
It's kinda in-between. It's not a proper conductor either due to it's specific band structure with a Dirac point they are using some unique effects graphene can do with light
>>
>>107369739
I'd give it roughly 14 days, anon. While we're waiting lets all just send more stolen taxpayer funds to ol'

>>107369744
They're not posting anything. It's llms
>>
>>107368539
Just head to Alaska and get a job working on the rail system. Mechanic jobs pay a little over $77k annually and has a lot of benefits. They also have tech jobs since a good deal of the trains now have their own software and have to be maintained manually.
>>
>>107368539
No amount of processing power is going to make neural networks actually able to think.
>>
>>107368539
until i can buy it from a major cloud vendor, i don't care. once i can, i'll just use it lol

they're probably hiring just H-1Bs for that now
>>
>>107368598
>>107369735
Is this talking about utilizing some non-existent optical tensor core technology?
>>
>>107369720
>First it'll help you. Then it'll almost replace you. Then it will replace you. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Just like mass immigration into western countries!
>>
>>107368539
yes, now they'll be able to train the same retarded model faster
>>
>>107371815
No it is just optimization for existing hardware.
>>
>>107368539
so it's gona hallucinate at breakneck speeds now? got it.
>>
Alrighty then.
Two more weeks.
