It does take a bit of tokens and some thought to get a workflow that produces output in a way that works for the user. Simple youtube "ai workflows" and you will be inundated with options.

Ya thought about this last weekend. Image a world where youtube knows it you watching and the ad you get is 100% ai generated to you. Like some future world where you're using product x and how fun it would be if you bought it.

Silly AI videos and just plain odd datacenter zoning/planning aside, the tech is super useful.

Can they build a nuclear power plant or some housing instead?

Hey sure.

It depends, but usually spin up an h100 on lambda.ai or coreweave. They have capacity and their UIs/APIs are nice. I spin it up for an hour or two, believe it was 6~ dollars an hour.

Once the gpu instance is up, you need to run vllm and a model, ie https://docs.lambda.ai/education/large-language-models/deplo....

Then you can connect your pi.dev, openwebui, etc etc to vllm and interact with it like normal.

I spin up a gpu instance in a cloud, run my model via vllm, connect to it via an ssh tunnel. done.

SO and friends are in the industry. I will never understand why they simply don't train and accept more Doctors. If they can have 1 person working 80 hours, they can have 2 working 40, or better yet 3 and see more patients and reduce wait times.

Yes there is a cost to training Doctors but you can't tell me its worth the burnout rate?

I think unless you were to 100% ban "influencer" crap and ads, which is where you'd have to go to make money or compete, its a waste of time.

No, there are provisions for not paying the tax for houses if you are a real estate professional or live in the house 3 of the past 5 years. Other examples like 1099 exchange.

Agree fully.

The smaller models will only get better which push out the usefulness of older gpus.
