how is 1500 H100's considered "one of the worlds most powerful AI supercomputers" ? i dont get how that adds up. meta got 150.000 H100's delivered in 2023 alone?
Still, good for a country to have it's own on-prem AI supercomputer than being at the mercy of foreign cloud providers who can terminate you at any time because your research breaks some obscure and vague ToS they made up.
I just had a nice chat with Bing about this and Bing is adamant that it's because they are "essential for solving complex problems, advancing AI models, accelerating innovation, and providing competitive advantages in technology and research".
And definitely not because anything with "AI" in the name is now virtually guaranteed to attract far more investment and government support than things without "AI" in the name. Bing was very clear about that.
It is great fun to realize that back in the day, when you ended up properly pissed in the pub, the pub owner could simply haul you on top of your horse, which would know the way home and deliver you there.
Now with cars we may even need radar on top of video to get similar results. And I doubt you are allowed to be drunk while your car is helping you home.
