Kind of crazy that a computing device designed for desktop gaming has become critical to the emergence of super useful AI systems.

Crazy that these found such a use case right after the crypto boom fizzled.

Almost suspicious but not quite. But maybe.

Observer from a parallel dimension: "Why is your machine learning accelerator wired directly into your monitor?"

It's called "high performance computing", and it is not surprising really.

It is almost like video games were just the first place we ran into the problem “matrixes are very good at modeling complex systems” and called the solution a GPU because we didn’t realize that’s what happened

the whole point is to prevent 3D artists from doing our job tbh 😂

Even crazier that programs - LLMs - designed to make our lives more efficient and monetized will actually reveal words and narratives to be complete illusions, leading to their replacement in processes of direct perception, finally containing computation in analog oversight.

Stand with Türkiye. Join us in supporting victims of the devastating earthquake. Your contribution will provide much-needed aid to those affected. Every little bit helps. Together, we can make a difference: web3dernegi.vercel.app

When the AI's finally take over they'll create hyperrealistic video game simulations to entertain themselves on the same hardware, thereby completing the loop. You and I are running on nVidia.
