mu's rambles

Actually, wait - how long do GPUs last, exactly? Four years for training? Three years? The A100 GPU started shipping in May 2020, and the H100 (and the Hopper GPU generation) entered full production in September 2022, meaning that we’re hurtling at speed toward the time in which we’re going to start seeing a remarkable amount of chips start wearing down, which should be a concern for companies like Microsoft, who bought 150,000 Hopper GPUs in 2023 and 485,000 of them in 2024. Alright, let me just be blunt: the entire economy of debt around GPUs is insane. Assuming these things don’t die within five years (their warranties generally end in three), their value absolutely will, as NVIDIA has committed to releasing a new AI chip every single year, likely with significant increases to power and power efficiency. At the end of the five year period, the Special Purpose Vehicle will be the proud owner of five-year-old chips that nobody is going to want to rent at the price that Elon Musk has been paying for the last five years. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the rental prices for H100 GPUs that went from $8-an-hour in 2023 to $2-an-hour in 2024, or the Silicon Data Indexes (aggregated realtime indexes of hourly prices) that show H100 rentals at around $2.14-an-hour and A100 rentals at a dollar-an-hour, with Vast.AI offering them at as little as $0.67 an hour. This is, by the way, a problem that faces literally every data center being built in the world, and I feel insane talking about it. It feels like nobody is talking about how impossible and ridiculous all of this is - it’s one thing that OpenAI has promised one trillion dollars to people - it’s another that large swaths of that will be spent on hardware that will, by the end of these agreements, be half-obsolete and generating less revenue than ever. Think about it - let’s assume we live in a fantasy land where OpenAI is somehow able to pay Oracle $300 billion over 5 years. Said money is paying for access to Blackwell…

Every single AI data center is a toxic investment, with most of its value tied up in GPUs that will be multiple generations behind by the time these things turn on - and then die in 3-5 years.

All to build for AI demand that doesn't exist.

ty maren i'm trying!! 😭 slowly gettign there

shit's way too fast paced for me bro i'm trying to find a better work/life balance rn

bruh ngl working in the industry killed my joy for drawing for so long lol it became a source of extreme stress the past few years but i feel like i'm very slowly healing and actually enjoying the process again. i ended up with a full on shoulder injury because of it too lol.

identity fraud is gonna become so much more common due to these shitty fucking laws and dog shit data security on these platforms 🤡

Everyone in EU, UK or any US state with ID laws on the books [or even ones without them] should contact their representatives and mention this data breach specifically and [link the article if emailed]

Show them the actual, tangible results of all this digshit online ID legislation

still very much kinktobering btw!! im waiting for the commissioners okay to post yesterday's one and today's i spent eepily trying to fix this guy's face so sorry this is all i got... might post 2 tmrw if it works out!! #kinktober #wip #durgetash

confide

reposting the video because the typo was pissing me off anyway BIG GUY

made the mistake of trying to repost a video from yesterday because i made a typo and now bluesky won't let me upload any video format media? lol anyone else having this issue? 🤪

hey not sure as i wasn't the only one to work on that but also i don't know if or when i'll share most of my professional work, sorry, there's a whole approval process everything has to go through i just don't have the time or energy for right now

i'm gonna finish the last few boards i have of the anthro characters and then i'll move back to my durge and gortash wips and general OCs >:)

anyway i got a lot of work to do and don't plan to be around much for a while i want to to focus on my personal work with the little free-time i got right now so yeah 🫠

posting this from my side account from when i found some old likeness studies quick sketches of when I was trying to understand gortash (I still don’t)😭 gortash science….

also bringing this boy back 😭 #durge sketch wips from months ago i will do my best to finish eventually (i swear) peek the durgetash in the back oop #oc

The funniest thing about this is that if 2-3 years ago you said this was going to happen they'd call you crazy, dramatic and claim you're just being a hysterical consprictist.

Hands study 🤝
