Colossus AI Supercluster with over 100k Nvidia H100 GPUs

Grok exists because of Elon’s vendetta against OpenAI (and Sam Altman) and how “woke” and “censored” ChatGPT is. So he spent boatloads of capital to create a rival that all the RWNJs on Twitter will pay for Twitter Premium to do things like “haha I asked Grok why did the gas chambers at Auschwitz have wooden doors” or to generate fake images of Donald Trump caressing Kamala Harris’ pregnant tummy “for the lulz”

It’s a very expensive, tragic, joke.

Google speech to text, siri, zoom subtitles, youtube subtitles etc insert almost only things I didn't say into the transcriptions. Whisper understands exactly what I say, even if I mumble, use abbreviations etc, and, at speed too. Maybe it does something wrong sometimes; the old way is infinitely worse. It's almost a joke between me and my colleagues to switch on speech to text when doing team calls (even 1 on 1); it gets 99% completely wrong; we talk about programming Typescript; it transcribes about robots and sex and rocks in the purple water; it's funny to read. If you would turn off the audio, you, as a third party, would think we are drunk or on acid, while with sound you would follow every fine.

I assume native english speakers do better (?) but we speak english (with accents) and whisper has no issues at all.

> From what I read on their website, it's mostly used to "improve twitter".

I hope they use it for more than that.

Because the way Twitter is going at the moment they are likely to be massively fined and/or banned by the EU. They have been continually warned to sort out the misinformation and by every definition it has gotten far worse since Musk took over.

Was always surprised this purchase wasn't made by Tesla given they have actual use cases for it.

> And if it was, why would I, as an "office drone" celebrate this...?

Because nobody in management tends to notice or care when white-collar workers get stripped of most or even all their job responsibilities.

There's a whole genre of Reddit post that goes something like "I only do a few real hours of work per week" or "I was hired but never told to do anything" or "my team was laid off but they forgot to fire me for five years, so I just came in and goofed off all day."

(I think this is because many types of white-collar worker are secretly valued more for their knowledge and edge-case intelligence — i.e. their ability to solve emergency problems in a pinch, or randomly save the company a million dollars one day — than they are for consistent, productive output. For many such workers, "regular job duties" are just thing management uses to keep them busy so that they don't get bored and quit!)

For a healthy company, "AI taking your job" actually means "AI taking all the stressful and boring parts of your job", leaving you to do just the fun parts. It's like the people who do data entry who secretly automate 99% of their work, leaving them to just "manage" a script — but someone else is stepping up to create the "script" for you to "manage."
