Everyone wants generative AI! They want it so much that Microsoft and OpenAI are putting up $10 million to sponsor “AI fellows” at local paper newsrooms in collaboration with the Lenfest Institute …
Media organizations will get $500,000 to hire two-year “AI fellows” who will “pursue projects that focus largely on improving business sustainability and implementing AI technologies within their organizations.” Specific uses include transcription, content “summaries,” and chatbot-fronted “search.”
permanent college kids with 4090s in embarrassing gaming rigs who’ll demand more budget the instant nvidia releases a new top-end card to game on, got it
e: and as someone who used to set up CUDA servers for machine learning back in college, boy fucking howdy is it ever a tell when the supposed research workstation’s copious RGB is all from the same vendor, so they can sync it to the game they’re playing. I mean, what else do you expect them to do, you paid for their case with the wraparound glass already after all
also, the CUDA hardware back then tended to be either rackmount servers, former rackmount servers now on someone’s desk, or embedded shit. not great to look at unless you like science labs and also noise
i occasionally enjoy ogling the £17,000 gaming rigs professional number crunching business workstations on scan.co.uk. You basically see how many Nvidia cards you can actually run off 240 volts at 13 amps and cram into a case, and throw in a free CPU.

Step 2: Futz around and transcribe a few audio files.
Step 3: Oops, we have used up the allocated budget but the deliverables remain just over the horizon.
And what does “just over the horizon” mean? According to Radio Yerevan, the horizon is an imaginary line that moves further as you approach it.
