I can’t help but wonder, was that page LLM generated?

At least they are as dangerous for the people inside as they are for the people outside. There is a reason why they are not street legal in the EU and many if not most countries in the world.

If you wan to know if a bubble pop just look at the fundamentals. Yes, I know, especially during bubbles people tell you that fundamentals don’t matter but they always win in the end. The thing is that you cannot bet on them because the market can always stay longer irrational than you can stay liquid. Eventually however it always corrects on the fundamentals again. Those can change of course over time but looking at the insane amounts of money flowing into data centers with no possible way of recovering that cost, I think the picture is clear. We also have wonderful highly circular money flows that to a large extend do not even exist but are all taken for full.

The only question is when it implodes. Within a year, within three? Who knows.

The numbers in that article just make no sense and the headline is just straight nonsense. Cooling does not reduce the power demand by the GPU in any way at all, they can at best reduce the energy that goes into cooling. For their worst case comparison to a traditional air cooling they report an overhead of 55% related to GPU wattage. Even if you reduce cooling energy demand by 100%, that is a reduction of combined GPU and cooling wattage by about 33%. But the whole equation is nonsense. Modern high performance server GPUs are not air cooled, they are already liquid cooled. There is an improvement towards existing liquid cooling systerms according to the researchers claims but the improvement is 32% better cooling performance and 68% less pressure drop. So if that can be fully translated we are talking about a reduction of cooling energy demand by 80%. Impressive but calculating back, the article claims that the new system would have only a cooling overhead of 1.1% (instead of those 55% with air cooling), so the traditional liquid cooling would be then ~6% (5-times higher).

So that is an energy reduction of GPU-wattage+cooling wattage of 4-5%, not 90%

Electronic trash as well.

I am not a lawyer either but I have yet to see a single expert side with Only Office on this. Among others the FSF aggrees with Nextcloud’s interpretation and disagrees with Only Office’s and they should be experts on AGPL 3.0, shouldn’t they?

If Only Office were correct it would not be Open Source and then it would violate numerous licenses itself. If Only Office really go to court with this they are risking a lot.

Yeah, isn’t it that they require everyone forking only office to include all the trademarks while forbidding everyone to use their trademarks?

I mean at least in their grotesque interpretation of the AGPL license at least. Luckily they can’t intimitate Nextcloud any Co.

Human created data poisining is low volume and easily spotted. AI slop is high volume and actions like this one make it easier to spot and discard.

… and lose 60 min due to slop spam on streaming, e-mail, fake web pages at the top of web searches…

My kind of humour.

Wow, an impressive amount of coping in this article when it is supposedly Europe going to hell, rather than the US.

License costs for Windows alone for one single Bundesland in Germany are 15 Mio EUR a year, I read, and that doesn’t include other costs. France is probably paying Microsoft in the hundreds of millions currently. You can do a lot on your own with that kind of money, especially when using everything open source has to offer, as basis.

“unsupervised” means that AI (Actually Indian) is driving those things, most of the time, right?

I am not a fan if AI slop and low effort vibe coding and hate AI images, music and videos with a passion, but it should be pointed out that this study was about re-programming a complete program from scratch, from documentation.

There, all failed miserably. This study was not about smaller work packages or narrower tasks.

It doesn’t get more target group than that. Also, one should terminate using this service as it is doing the opposite from what it claims.

The US has more than caught up though. The US regime is currently working on establishing a DNA databank of all political opponents it can artest under unlwaful conditions, during lawful protests for example, long enough to get the samples, feeding everything into one huge database with all the other legally and illegally aquired data. When the time comes they’ll have already a list of everyone who has to disappear, like the Gestapo in Austria during Anschluss.

Not really. “AI bandwagon” is a negatively charged term optimised for emotional response by readers who don’t read any further before posting it angrily on social media.

Fedora is of the most popular Distros among AI developers. Thagg tv is why the headline us not only misleading but false. They are not jumping onto anything new, they are merely improving their offer for something they are already a popular choice for.

The key question is if total costs along the pipeline, from requirements definition down to the final quality controlled fully debugged product can be reduced, at real LLM costs (not with the currently vastly subsidised costs).

That is right, it is a tool. But how useful will it be as a tool once it will be sold by token at real costs, where every mistake that tool makes costs money and we are talking here maybe about 10 times higher costs than people currently pay for Claude, at the minimum.

Add to that the question how the use of LLMs affects the career pipeline from junior dev to senior dev.

There not so many tool analogies where the tool is especially good at making things look good, even if they aren’t when you dig deeper.

If it won’t be illegal, and under the current US regime it sure as hell won’t be illegal, it will come, it is just a matter of time. It will be interesting though if they’ll still do it even where it likely will be illegal, like in the EU.
