HPE targets enterprises with Nvidia-powered platform for tuning AI HPE - like many tech companies - is betting big on AI in the hope customers will splash enteprise cash on training or fine tuning models and other areas of interest, rather than risk falling behind their peers. At the annual Discover event, this year held on Barcelona, HPE lifted the lid on a second generative AI platform co- …
"enterprises are either going to become AI powered, or they're going to become obsolete"
I remember a Dilbert cartoon from (if I remember right) the late 1980s. Its caption was "there's an engineering solution of every problem". Sadly there isn't, despite what the technocrats think (or at least would have us think). In my domain (information risk) it's widely and correctly recognised that the human equation predominates -- and not just "user behaviour" but management behaviour most importantly. That source of error will remain unless it's controlled by corporate culture before AI is adopted. The big problem currently is that corporate culture is generally antithetical to good practice. That's the high hurdle we need to leap before handing over to AI, unless we want the AI to replicate our mistakes (if for no other reason than that the source of its training will otherwise be poor practice).
Also, the use of "power" as a verb to mean "accomplish using" should universally be met with derision. Whatever marketer started this ought to be slapped. "Powered by Intel"? Look, guys, your CPUs run hot, but I'm pretty sure that's just waste heat — I'm not actually burning them for power.
This is right up there with "corporate DNA" in the competition for the lamest, most clichéd, least evocative, most overused metaphor in the industry.
100E9 Neurons
Each Neuron 10000 Synapses
That makes 100E13 "Parameters". That is 1E15 == 100 000 Billion Parameters. About 1000x more than the model they mention.
In other words, the "AI" is on the level of a worm or the like.
Free your best employees of the Hyped Nonsense*, use Common Sense and you will win. Also, do not allow newspapers and TVs on campus.
Treat your people well, respect them, nurture their innovative skills. Human brains need 1000x less power than grafic cards for the same number of neurons.
* e.g. "COVID", "UFOs", "MBA leader", "man and woman are socially defined", "eternal guilt from the 18th century", "windmills", "solar cells", "corium melting to middle of earth", ...
