True, but who needs a Quadro, if a 3090Ti is entirely sufficient?

A small car. I just bought a new 3090Ti with 24GB VRAM for as little as 1300€. I don't find that overly expensive.

What is a larger stake? More invested money. So it's the same old the few rich rule the system and get richer. That's not particularly democratic, is it?

Touché. And without burning the planet. PoS wins.

True. PoS does not need this additional step. Your power in the block chain is directly connected to your size, not just indirectly through discounts.

Have they reintegrated NSFW content into the training? No? Alright, I'll stick with 1.5. I don't want anyone to dictate what kind of art is fine and what is not.

Isn't proof of stake essentially the opposite of what crypto currency originally wanted to be, a democratic currency without central control? As far as I understand PoS, it means that the rich control the block chain, right? Those who own more currency have more control?

Reply to The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy
The problem is that you don't change the mindset of the masses just like that within a couple of years. That couple of years, in fact, that we have left to switch away from exploitation of nature before it is really too late to save our livelihood.

Yepp... Me. I just don't have the time and the necessary problems to solve in order to keep up to date. And for most of my daily challenges a good old linear regression or random forest is all that's needed. And if I want to get fancy, I use xgboost.
Stuff like diffusors, transformers... fascinates me. Do I understand the principle ideas behind them? Kind of, I think... Would I be able to replicate the results? Hell no! Let alone use the principles to solve my own problems (that I don't even have)...
I miss doing AI science. But at some point you've got to let go and let fresher minds do the pushing.
