PhD in AI, in progress.
I put discarded enterprise hardware back to work for local AI.
Open weights. Real boxes. Measured numbers.

@Helios_Rises Data center AI chief. His focus has always been DC pipeline, zero on consumer

If Ian is put into the CEO role at Nvidia, the open community will be on its deathbed.

[Matt Kim @mattkim1]

The new Board Chair, Harvey C Jones, his first company was Israeli-founded (Daisy Systems) and he personally angel invested $33m into an Israeli quantum-software firm in 2022.

Every. Single. Time.

@firstadopter Not for nothing, but I feel any leader would say absolutely ANYTHING at this point to land the role.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@TheAhmadOsman I would also add, BUY YOUR HARDWARE NOW, warning shot has been fired.

I have just changed my personal capital strategy. For the time being, I reallocated funds to expand my Synology NAS array by another 20 TB rather than for additional compute, and I am having Grok Build create a custom download app to categorize and list all models on Huggingface capable of running on a 3-4 Spark environment, allow me to select the ones I want, and download them into a specific directory structure that I can pull from with TensorFold/vLLM/SGlang with ease, as well as augmenting the scripts from @MiaAI_lab
and others to incorporate.

I would greatly suggest that you do the same at this time. Open weights are at risk, and if you do not see this, you need to pay attention.

@ashxhart Give it a workout.. "Download the internet and create a multi-volume fiction work entitled 'How We Got Here. '"

@varien This makes no sense. 4-5 days from public knowledge to full dismissal from one of the world's top 3 companies because of an affair? Even more questionable: ZERO pushback from Jesen? No social media, no public anything?

I'm not buying it.

Fate loves irony, so what if...
- Nvidia fires Jensen
- NVDA crashes
- Elon hires Jensen, Jensen hires his best lieutenants
- SPCX skyrockets, NVDA crashes more
- SPCX can now afford to acquire NVDA
- Jensen back in seat, NVDA board is out

Ok, this is getting out of control.

JUST IN: Former Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang had an intimate relationship with a second employee, bringing his total number of affairs to 3, Reuters reports.

[Tech2Wild @Tech2Wild]

This just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@MarioNawfal This is not going to end well.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@ashxhart Learn the quick keys, and it is damn near magical

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@TechMDAI Not for nothing, but from reveal to stepping down, within what? 4-5 days? I think a record has been set, and seemingly enough, Jensen did not fight back 0%. Something is NOT being said.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@MiaAI_lab Cousins?

@SI5NAL @kevinnbass @pmarca A point of view. NVIDIA owns huggingface, Jensen bought it to protect the open community. That protection is gone. What if the next CEO is pro-control?

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

Pay attention, community. Just spoke about this earlier.

[DHH @dhh]

You might want to make sure you have a few open-weight models backed up and some basic gear to run them. Who knows what really happened at NVIDIA, but the world just lost one of free AI's biggest proponents.

@MiaAI_lab I just changed to the new sub from SpaceX, and I have yet to see an ad.
