(*6952cd93*):: It’s kind of wild- AI is having a huge surge in popularity and progress while consciousness study is about to enter a “winter” because of materialist neuroscientists bashing the most interesting theory of consciousness, Integrated Information Theory https://www.theintrinsicperspective.com/p/ambitious-theories-of-consciousness

(*6952cd93*):: +public!
(*4cfb807c*):: For about $100 of adapters + GPU cost, a lenovo t420 can run a modern graphics card via express card
(*4cfb807c*):: Rtx 4090 PCI 4.0 is backwards compatible with PCI 3.0
(*4cfb807c*):: I have an old gt 9800 on hand to test that has 128 cuda cores
(*4cfb807c*):: Rtx 4090 has 16,384 cuda cores lol
(*4cfb807c*):: Tesla k80 has 4992 cuda cores, but 24G VRAM
(*4cfb807c*):: Running llms is memory rather than compute intense, but training* is compute as well as memory intensive
(*4cfb807c*):: OpenMPI can be used to cluster GPU compute and vram
(*4cfb807c*):: I’m tempted to say openmpi over WAN SSH would probably be surprisingly performant; would love to test it at some point.
(*4cfb807c*):: Tldr; the design of an HPC solution for MDMC (Massive Dank Meme Collider) is coming together
