I grow Jalapeños. This conflation of AI and actual chili peppers irks me.

I do generative art (no relation to AI prompting). I feel your frustration.

Guess how electrical engineers feel about the term "transformers".

This is an excellent comment. I'm still laughing.

Just think of how the people of Xalapa, Mexico feel. They should send them a royalty check.

Feeling the burn?

I'm annoyed that the meaning of the word "Agent" has been obliterated.

Like, why couldn't they invent a new word and not hijack an existing word?

Call it GPTChippomatic or something. Please leave my peppers alone.

It's jalapeño grill would you say?

karim7954 minutes ago

Not sure what you're talking about. But I'll tell you, home grown Jalapeño peppers, fermented with 3% salt is the stuff of dreams.

You know what really grinds my gears? Friction.

At some point people will use an LLM to design an Apple M series competitor.

Lramseyer25 minutes ago

Production grade CPU design is more than just the RTL (the source code.) To achieve the performance numbers that these companies get, you have to do a ton of optimization in your physical design to achieve the power/performance/area (PPA) metrics that make these products competitive. LLMs are not suitable for that kind of work.

There are people working on PPA optimization and trying to shake up how things are done, just not with LLMs.

It is probably doable right not to push a risc-v design into that performance space.

They won't, because they'd need an ARM architecture license.

amelius58 minutes ago

Why, the LLM can make up its own architecture.

The value lies in the design space exploration, which is what an LLM can easily do.

Arm sells architecture licenses to anybody these days.

I mean you can design anything without a license. Selling it is where the problems come up. Even then there are likely places in China that would still make it for you.

openai should figure out how to make lithography machine, so ASML don't have monopoly on it.

The Chinese have been working on EUV for a while
