Boost

I don’t think the person you’re responding to is making any claims about AGI. But the fact is, the models are far, far more capable then they were even 3 years ago. I think that has more to do with the harnesses we have now that it does with the models. The models are a bit better (and way bigger) but the harness is where the capability comes from. Software dev has changed significantly in most places because the fact is, this shit is useful for those tasks. People, appropriately or not, are trying to apply that to every office job basically.

I don’t think that’s gonna pan out for anthropic or open AI financially, especially in the long term. But there has been a lot of progress in capability in the last 2-3 years. I think they’re right that if the timing works out badly, many employers could overcommit to AI and then collapse before they can correct once the bubble pops.

I’m running a 4070 super on my setup with cachyos with zero issues. I never had to do any special setup or anything. I think when I first installed, I was running off the displayport on my motherboard to be safe, but if I remember correctly, the OS detected my Nvidia card and installed the driver automatically. (That or I selected that I wanted Nvidia drivers during the install, I can’t remember which.) Switched the cable over to the card, no issues since.

Everyone complains about Nvidia support on Linux but it’s come a long long way the last few years and it’s honestly just as easy or easier than windows now.
