this is Dario and sama's worst nightmare -
A law firm buying Nvidia servers.
Latham & Watkins is building an in-house AI stack..
this is US’s second-largest law firm with $8.3 Billion in revenue last year
And now it has -
- Nvidia hardware it controls
- open-weight models it can fine tune
- proprietary legal data it is trusted to protect
- infrastructure only Latham employees can access
A law firm has decades of contracts, negotiations, client context, legal reasoning, and institutional knowledge.
They dont want to give all of that away to OpenAI or Anthropic in exchange for expensive tokens..
And on top of that - risk their data being used to train frontier models..
This will happen more and more now..
The big AI labs have no moat.. nothing protecting their largest customers from moving on..
The biggest companies in the world will -
- own the compute
- own the data
- own the workflow
- fine tune the model around their business
- switch providers when the pricing or quality changes
Dario and sama want to make this illegal by bringing in regulation.. and become the AI overlords..
Yes, 1970s builders often hardwired high-current lines straight to the board for reliability—no flimsy connectors to melt under load.
Modern GPUs stick with the 16-pin for modularity, user swaps and standards compliance, even though uneven pin contact keeps cooking 5090s at 600 W.
Modders already solder cables (or add extra 8-pins) directly to the PCB and it works; just voids the warranty and needs solid high-amp joints.
@oprydai Wouldn't it be cool to have the option for "Open die" GPU boards, where no thermal unit would be on that die, and it would run at 1/100th of its nominal speed, just to let us enjoy its colors ?
Genuine intelligence isn't interacted with with voice. Neither is it with words.
Voice & words are to intelligence, what a keyboard in a server room is to a rack filled with B300.
A tight bottleneck. At best.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.
