Marcus "MajorLinux" Summers@jerry What if we stopped building them altogether.
Repurpose the ones we do have.
We already have some good models. We don't need anymore.
@majorlinux I am not defending this as I say it, but today’s datacenters are not built for the scale and power density that companies are targeting now.
@jerry My argument is to say we don't need the datacenters at all.
If we aren't training as much (if at all anymore), then we can scale back.
@majorlinux nothing I’ve seen gives me any confidence it’s going to slow down. I do expect the bubble to burst some day but there will still be datacenters of this scale after the crash. Likely less of them, but they’ll still be around. I’m hoping that a better way to operate them emerges that doesn’t require so much compute to train them.
@jerry That's really what I'm hoping for.
I honestly think that if we just scaled this shit down to something reasonable, a lot of what's happening could be curbed.
Actually put some real costs to using the tools and restrict the proliferation of it amongst people who are currently abusing it.
