So, on average, every adult in the UK has been searched for 3 times.

Not “more negatively”. A higher proportion of that group view it the same amount of negative.

“…likely pushing up…”

“…likely…”

Of course it will! What kind of reporting is this? “…forcing the price up…” Is the phrase they were looking for.

Agreed. The headline is terrible. Headline Case Doesn’t Help Either.

End to end encryption of a interaction with a chat-bot would mean the company doesn’t decrypt your messages to it, operates on the encrypted text, gets an encrypted response which only you can decrypt and sends it to you. You then decrypt the response.

So yes. It would require operating on encrypted data.

“Burning it out” still leaves contamination. You need to remove it.

I think it’s different. The fundamental operation of all these models is multiplying big matrices of numbers together. GPUs are already optimised for this. Crypto was trying to make the algorithm fit the GPU rather than it being a natural fit.

With FPGAs you take a 10x loss in clock speed but can have precisely the algorithm you want. ASICs then give you the clock speed back.

GPUs are already ASICS that implement the ideal operation for ML/AI, so FPGAs would be a backwards step.

If an AI can work on encrypted data, it’s not encrypted.

It’s when the coffers of Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and investment banks dry up. All of them are losing billions every month but it’s all driven by fewer than 10 companies. Nvidia is lapping up the money of course, but once the AI companies stop buying GPUs on crazy numbers it’s going to be a rocky ride down.

As long as it hasn’t been coloured I believe.

It’s spent on NVidia GPUs. Jensen Huang just buys leather jackets from what I can tell.

They’re different, and I think this one has the capability of being more devastating.

The dot-com bubble was really broad. Hundreds or thousands of companies, all without vowels in their names trying to break new ground. A wild west style gold rush. When it popped a lot of small companies went bankrupt.

This is a handful of companies with billions of capital buying GPUs from NVidia to be make the largest hungriest machine they can. All in the pursuit of being first to create “AGI”. If one of them succeeds, the others are toast and multiple 500+B dollar companies will collapse in on themselves. If none of it works, the same thing happens and it takes a large chunk out of $4T Nvidia too.

A lot of the security fixes since spectre have focused on exploiting speculative execution (a key CPU performance feature) to cross security boundaries. Defeating speculative execution when switching from user to kernel space (for example) adds a lot of overhead.

The new kernel add controls so that machines that don’t need to worry about these exploits to disable the performance killing fixes.

I think there was an inherent demand behind those examples though. Just the number of lives lost looking for the northwest passage showed how useful the Panama canal would be.

You’re also comparing government spending in a lot of those cases Vs private capital. That fact shows how much power has shifted in the world already.

Not these kind of figures. Only a quarter of countries have annual GDPs larger than what’s been spent so far this year. This is on a scale not seen before.

What makes it worse is that it’s being spent on something which consumes huge resources and has no purpose except giving a few people more power as they would control what these systems would say is true.

Thank you. I seriously didn’t understand what the field was.

I was working in the AV industry at the time.

How is you working in the audio/video industry relevant? …or maybe you mean adult videos?

Also, that’s $5000 in 1994 money (if not older).

Surely fines should scale with inflation.

Effect No. 1: vendors gets review bombed with “looks nothing like what I ordered”.

Effect No. 2: Sales drop.
