Maybe optimize your fucking code you bunch of stupid losers.

this isn't how we want to operate, but it's hard to perfectly predict growth surges that lead to GPU shortages."

That's very ironic coming from you guys!

Fuck off, Sam. Fuck right the fuck off.

Here's a quarter. Call someone who cares.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

I wouldn't even give that scumbag a quarter.

GPUs aren’t supposed to be a consumable mr altman

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Good. That asshole doesn't deserve any. Those should be used for PC gaming. Not creating the torment nexus.

Of course, Altman is referring to chonky enterprise-grade GPUs like those used in the Nvidia DGX B200 and DGX H200 AI platforms—the latter of which OpenAI was the first to take delivery of last year.

You wouldn't be using these for gaming (well, not of the 3D graphics sort).

They run in the tens of thousands of dollars each, as I recall.

Probably more correct to call them "parallel compute accelerator" cards than "GPUs". I don't think that they have a video out, even.

What they do have is a shit-ton of on-board RAM.

EDIT: Oh, apparently those are whole servers containing multiple GPUs.

https://www.trgdatacenters.com/resource/nvidia-dgx-buyers-guide-everything-you-need-to-know/

The NVIDIA DGX B200 is a physical server containing 8 Blackwell GPUs offering 1440GB RAM and 4TB system memory. It also includes 2 Intel CPUs and consumes 14.3kW power at max capacity.

For comparison, the most powerful electric space heater I have draws about a tenth that.

DGX H200 systems are currently available for $400,000 – $500,000. BasePOD and SuperPOD systems must be purchased directly from NVIDIA. There is a current waitlist for B200 DGX systems.

This makes me want a game called "Torment Nexus." That shit sounds like a dope-ass Soulslike.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

There's an old CRPG called Planescape Torment that's pretty brutal. And it's sequel, Torment: Tides of Numinera.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Planescape is awesome. The only game that came close to its story (and one I've played) is Disco Elysium, which is quite a feat. Given how DE is praised everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I loved Disco Elysium.

He's getting 10,000 more next week

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

He doesn't deserve them.

Bet he's not even using them for anything except a Govt Subsidized Crypto farm.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago

Try it with Intel integrated graphics, sucker
