| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM now very much smells like the Enron and Worldcom frauds. | Nov 03 23:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM now says Small LLMs (like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence ?) are best for AI due to faster speed and lower cost blah blah blah. Translated, at IBM we do not have near enough money to buy Nvidia GPUs so we cheap out and try to be in the top 50 of AI companies but like cloud (and soon quantum) talk a good game but does not have a clue what a customer is, what they do, and what customers want. | Nov 03 23:20 |
