It’s NOW or NEVER

Whether you want to believe it or not, the powers that be are reacting to the distribution of intelligence and power in the way they always do.

By capturing the points of development and distribution, deciding who gets intelligence, and priming the public to fear the very thing that makes us stronger.

The window to become self sufficient is closing.

Exhibit A:

Both frontier American labs are either willingly, or unwillingly closing the doors behind them.

You might say: “well this is just a delay, they’ll figure it out”

Will they figure it out? If they do, will you be on the list of people armed with super intelligence? Time has shown that no, we won’t be.

We now know 3 things for a fact:

• Scaling laws are true, and nothing will slow it down
• The government doesn’t want you to have AI
• The labs either can’t or won’t help you

Exhibit B:

Hardware is the substrate for AGI, without it there will be no scalable intelligence. That means every graphics card is priceless, those who understand are already drowning in cards.

Apple has increased their prices by 20%~ overnight, add taxes, add tarrifs, add transportation and we’re talking a 50% bump overall.

Nvidia cards are the hottest thing on the market, I spent 12,000$ 9 months ago to purchase 192GB of 5 year old VRAM and 512GB DDR4 ram, that same rig is worth 22,000$ today.

Every Nvidia card is up 50% regardless of it’s condition. Why?

Because whether you believe it or not AGI is here and it fits on 24GB of memory. Super intelligence fits on 500GB of VRAM/mixed memory.

Intelligence is not an infinite resource, you are competing against a pool of people who get it. Stop wasting time.

Macbook Neo: $599 -> $699 Macbook Air: $1099 -> $1299 Macbook Pro: $1699 -> $1999 Mac Studio: $1999 -> $2499 iPad Air $599 - $749 iPad Pro: $999 -> $11991.1K3.8K44K7M

Loktar @loktar00·Jun 26Since yesterday all Blackwells went up at Microcenter..

4500 32gb went up $400 5000 48gb went up $900 in my store,

It’s store based currently.. in Ohio for example the 5000 pro is $6999 and the 72gb card is now $8799.

The Spark will go up after the sale I have no doubt aboutShow moreQuoteLoktar @loktar00·Jun 24Crazy turn of events with Microcenter, the DGX Spark has actually dropped to $3999.

Kept hearing sparks would go up, and they’ve in fact gone down by $500 and there’s more stock. I’m just going to say it something is up with the spark and the marketing2136613K

Freedom is painful.

If you want to compete at elite levels you must own your own intelligence, otherwise you are compromised.

Your business is not yours, your secrets are not yours, your work is not yours. If it goes in it belongs to whoever provides you the intelligence. It will be used, whether you like it or not.

Anything you build, write or do with the assistance of AI will be analysed, profiled, recorded, replicated, tested, and devoured.

If you have something valuable it will be stripped of every detail that made it happen, and it will be replicated and mass produced by those with the levers.

Open Source MUST Win

For our entire history knowledge was passed down from ancestor to ancestor, the love of our entire species was distilled and perfected for YOU.

Instead of taking care of the precious gift bestowed to us, some people would rather keep it to themselves, and use it to further their own power by any means necessary.

I can’t trust what I don’t own. Neither can you.
