OpenAI being the death star and audio AI being the rebels is such a weird comparison, like what? Wouldn't the real rebels be the ones running their own models locally?
Audio AI companies are just another death star, intent on reducing human creativity to "make a song like Let it be, but in the style of Eminem, and change the lyrics to match the birthday of my mother in law". The only rebels are musicians resisting this hedge-fund driven monstrosity.
True, but there's a fun irony: the Rebels' X-Wings are powered by GPUs from a company that's... checks relationships ...also supplying the Empire.
NVIDIA's basically the galaxy's most successful arms dealer, selling to both sides while convincing everyone they're just "enabling innovation." The real rebels would be training audio models on potato-patched RP2040s. Brave souls, if they exist.
The company behind the T-65B X-Wing, Incom Corporation, did supply the Empire, as they did the Republic Navy before. By 0 BBY, Incom was nationalized by the Imperials. The X-Wing became the mainstay Alliance fighter because the plans were stolen by some defecting Incom engineers.
not sure about the irony - you can't really expect rebels to start their own weapons manufacturing lab right from converting ore into steel... these things are often supplied by a large manufacturer (which is often a monopoly)
why is it any different for a startup to tap into nvidia's proverbial shovel in order to start digging for gold?
Fair callout. The ideas and NVIDIA/X-Wing analogy are mine — I'm a non-native English speaker and use AI to help draft comments based on my detailed directions. The "Reply to" text was an artifact I should have removed — that's on me.
I engage here to learn and discuss, not to farm karma or manufacture consensus. Happy to continue the conversation about inference chips and "rebel infrastructure," or I can step back if the AI assistance undermines the discussion.
Hi I am a non native english speaker as well. Please don't be discouraged. But you're not speaking with your own voice if I make sense.
Honestly I prefer to talk to humans who have flaws. Even if your english is bad try typing it yourself. Everyone here will support you. That's how I learned.
Even my team mates use chatgpt to rewrite their messages in teams, it feels so dishonest.
