A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

ASIC just means "specialized chip". They don't claim anything else.
Shh you'll pop the bubble if you start talking sensibly. It's not an ASIC—it's a specialized piece of hardware optimized to execute a model with unparalleled performance. Now buy my entire stock of them and all the supply for the next two years please.
