While Nvidia are killing their consumer market to go all-in on something that might not survive the next decade, other brands should get their shit together, and fill in that gap. Still have faith in Intel, although it's not like they aren't just as evil
I'm liking AMD still. They're not perfect of course but they seem to have far less fuckery going on than Intel and Nvidia, and they have open source drivers that play nice with Linux.
I always have this thought in the back of my mind too, but the issue is that while raw performance is a bit better than the counterparts, Nvidia still offers more features for the money, and I don't always have money to throw away. Typically i'd upgrade my gpu once every 5 years or so
AI might not survive the next decade? I already use it every day at work. The productivity gains are enormous and far from saturated. I think it's more likely that AI will survive and consumers (humans) will not survive.
I think people simultaneously overestimate the capability of current machine learning models while underestimating their long term impact. These models are going to be in everything. They are very resource hungry and will absolutely be a driver of hardware innovation for the next decade and probably longer.
Currently, my view on AI is that it's a gimmick at best. The models are too unstable, rely on data harvested in weird ways, and is already known to either degrade in quality, or learn something that completely derails anything it had learned originally. Not to mention that calling it an intelligence is somewhat disingenuous, because it doesn't really understand anything. It just repeats what you told it,
If this improves over the years, and allows people to do something they couldn't before, that's phenomenal, but that's not the current trajectory. Our jobs are safe
You've answered your own question. They used to release upgraded hardware with a reasonable generational boost almost yearly. Now the gap has widened, and they're iterating on old hardware, by giving it more juice and a larger cooler. Not to mention the astronomical prices that have outclassed previous top-end cards at the current mid-range
Not really. It’s not the right way to state it. They aren’t concerned with making money from the consumer market right now. Killing it implies it’s never coming back.
