That soup is already cooked. And obtaining consent is prohibitive, so your data set will be tiny.

Friends don’t let friends use Oracle.

I bet they’re going to shred these unused GPUs after the bubble pops, to make sure these won’t appear on the free market.

No. Solar on my roof is more affordable than to buy same solar juice for 0.3 EUR/kWh from the power company. So much that my infrastructure ROIs over less than two years.

The erudite content contributors already left in a sequence of exit events. This is just another nail into the coffin of someone who died a long time ago.

Digg died mostly due starting to suck so badly people walked. For Reddit, there isn’t even a platform to escape to. But people are now less online in general and smeared over low-brow platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Which costs? It’s a PC. The power is free, since spare PV capacity.

The rogue AI will be the P2P network.

Still not nearly what biological neural circuits are capable of.

Please show some proof that their GPU DCs are affected.

Not enough GPU capacity (embargoed) and not enough local talent. Also, not enough money vs trillions the hyperscalers are burning. Their AI drones with small models are sufficiently capable, though.

You can aggregate spare LLM capacity in a collaborative p2p fashion. But my reasons would be to use spare PV capacity to run an uncensored model during daytime with full privacy.

Um, no. /r/collapse died a long time ago as a community.

On the long run, it makes it irrelevant. Nobody even thinks about Digg.

Preferably. See the Whonix approach in Qubes OS. There you can be only targeted as a class of Tor users, not as an individual. The blast radius of system compromise is limited, requiring a privilege escalation to break out of containment.

You should assume your ISP is a hostile party, in cahoots with you goverment’s intelligence services. A fail close VPN and adblockers at network level as well as hardened and isolated VM for public content consumption should be your SOP.

I paid 82 EUR for a 500 Wp bifacial when picking up four of them about a week ago. A 2 kW Hoymiles microinverter was 202 EUR, 10 m plug in cable 45 EUR. Flat roof mount 145 EUR. I will need to buy some 36x concrete plate ballast for about 25 EUR. Some 4x 3 m and 4x 1 m DC4 module cables, cheap. Yes, winter months are thin, but my meter is old enough to run backwards. When they exchange it, I will buy a couple 10 kWh battery.

I intend to run a local LLM during daytime anyway.

Electricity is affordable anywhere there is space for a few PV modules. At least, as long as the sun shines.

Jen-Hsun has certainly sold a lot of golden shovels, but he will find gamer gear market to be slim pickings in comparison to the fat enterprise checks. What I’m hoping is that some older enterprise gear will make it to ebay and such. Maybe some smaller AMD Instincts with HBM.

Waiting for the bubble to pop to join the fray. Adding some surplus PV capacity meanwhile.

Thanks, food for thought.
