Nvidia... sounds familiar. Maybe I've heard of that name. I associate "Nvidia" with thoughts of expensive hardware, stock market bubbles, and annoying driver software. But that's just a statistical correlation, it's not like I actually know anything.
- only if you have a lot of money
  
  If they win this it clears the way for us to use pirated material in our models. Let them cook.
"But I NEEEEEEEEED to play my games on 164x AA, ultra textures, unlimited render distance, no optimization, 900 fps (on a 60 fps 720p monitor) MOOOOOMMMM!!!"
That's how I hear every excuse for a recent Nvidia purchase.
- Daddy! I want ~~an Oompa Loompa~~ copyright infringement now!
  
  I mean yeah that's half the reason to play games on PC
- I'm hearing more stuff like "but I nEeEeEeEd the latest nvidia card to create AI 'art' and soulles synthetic text locally! It's for business!"
  
  Yeah I got a 3090 for Stable Diffusion and LocalLLaMa, money well spent tbh it brought many hours of fun, joy and learning and let me explore and study the tech and ML more generally without performance constraints. Much better value proposition than extra reflections in some video game honestly.
- I have no doubt that the 4090 is a fantastic piece of hardware, but I just don't see a justification for upgrading.
  I play games on a 4k/60 monitor, generally with close to max graphics settings (obviously within reason). My 2080TI handles that just fine. I also couldn't care less about framerate unless the game is noticeably stuttering, so that might help.
  
  I'm still using my same 7700k and 1060 and for 1080p stuff it's just fine, dagnabbit.
And the media on my plex server is just statistically correlated to popular movies and tv shows.
🙄
Well, they are. Is the term "stochastic parrot" no longer popular? That's what the "stochastic" part means.
What? It's not a blunt, officer. It's a confounding statistical correlation, go get those eyes checked.
