Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm pretty sure the thing about datatypes is wrong. From experience programming shaders the most typical float values were 4 bytes. The physics simulations are run on cpus typically, not gpus, but for graphics processing of all kinds, smaller floats are used. The conclusion is right though.

4 bytes not 4 bits, so 32 bits. You can't do graphics on 4 bits, that's way too small.

Good catch, thanks

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, even the Game&Watch was 8-bit

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

But you can use 4bits neural networks.

Some people already replied but I would like to add that even if float type where the right one.

AI dedicated hardware doesn't bundle stuff you usually espect from a gpu like dedicated encoder and decoders.
