I think the reason Amodei and his gang are suddenly interested in an AI slowdown has nothing to do with preserving humanity and everything to do with providing an excuse for a bailout when the bubble pops.

Opinions?

    I’m just ready for cheap deals on hardware.

    those gpus and high bandwidth ram aren’t really useful to most people… like, you’d need a rack server because the gpus don’t have integral cooling, or even hdmi/dp out…

      I want HDDs to build a RAID
