you don’t need shift right click to do either of those things on youtube, you can always right click on a thumbnail and get the normal menu, and if you right click twice on a video you get the normal menu

I don’t have access to llama 3.1 405b but I can see that llama 3 70b takes up ~145 gb, so 405b would probably take 840 gigabytes, just to download the uncompressed fp16 (16 bits / weight) model. With 8 bit quantization it would probably take closer to 420 gb, and with 4 bit it would probably take closer to 210 gb. 4 bit quantization is really going to start harming the model outputs, and its still probably not going to fit in your RAM, let alone VRAM.

So yes, it is a crazy model. You’d probably need at least 3 or 4 a100s to have a good experience with it.

for that sort of thing you can look it up in an private window, where at least google will have to pretend to not be tracking you

It’s a simple scene so it’s not slow but it does take a while to converge, you can see even in the render there’s noise on the edge of the torus and the edges of the floor

No, cycles. I have one in regular eevee, with a bunch of light probes:

there’s a lot of aliasing on the far wall, from the light probes. there might be some way to get rid of it, but idk

If everybody else is doing the same thing, yeah.

there’s someone who uploaded this same meme before the reddit thing but instead of 2000 it said 20

edit: I was linked to the post a few months ago maybe but I can’t find it now

Ram is slower than GPU VRAM, but that extreme slowdown is due to the bottleneck of the pcie bus that the data has to go through to get to the GPU.

there are some local genai music models, although I don’t know how good they are yet as I haven’t tried any myself (stable audio is one, but I’m sure there are others)

also minor linguistic nitpick but LLM stands for ‘language model’ (you could maybe get away with it for pixart and sd3 as they use t5 for prompt encoding, which is an llm, i’m sure some audio models with lyrics use them too), the term you’re looking for is probably ‘generative’

Yeah, you also have to deal with the latency with the cloud, which is a big problem for a lot of possible applications

well, i think a lot of these cpus come with a dedicated npu, idk if it would be more efficient than the tensor cores on an nvidia gpu for example though

edit: whatever npu they put in does have the advantage of being able to access your full cpu ram though, so I could see it might be kinda useful for things other than custom zoom background effects

it doesn’t seem all that hard to make, as long as you don’t mind the severely reduced flexibility in capacity and glass bottles shattering against each other at the bottom

Wow, I’m glad I have auto-renew enabled.

I was talking more about whether the existence of an image AI, regardless of the images it generates, breaks copyright law because of how it was trained on copyrighted images

as someone who never really experienced the old internet, all I hear are the positive sides and I feel like the guy in xkcd 239

Unions would probably work, as long as you get some people the company doesn’t want to replace in there too

Maybe also federal regulations, although would probably just slow it because models are being made all around the world, including places like Russia and China that the US and EU don’t have legal influence over

Also, it might be just me, but it feels like generative AI progress has really slowed, it almost feels like we’re approaching the point where we’ve squeezed the most out of the hardware we have and now we just have to wait for the hardware to get better

Well, current law is not written with AI in mind, so what current law says about the legality of AI doesn’t reflect its morality or how we should regulate it in the future

The fact that I can go on eBay and get an actually usable laptop for $40

Like, I was playing around with freecad on it a couple days ago. It just works. The fact that I can get a fully functional personal computer for cheaper than 8 hamburgers is crazy.
