In the future, will it be considered offensive to suggest that someone’s posts look like they were generated by an ML model…?

This post definitely seems to be generated by an ML model. There is little coherence and I don't totally understand how the first part (giving a talk on GPT-2) is at all related to the end. It was long bit of coherent individual thoughts randomly strung together in an attempt to make a coherent story. In short, I'm not entirely sure what point the commenter is trying to make. Also, there are a weird number of links referenced to individuals.
I assure you this already considered offensive right now in the present!
I have the same suspicion as you, and I like how delicately you put.

One thing that stands out is a reference to a "AMD 3600" which makes little sense in the context of buying a V100. Why buy an older low-mid range CPU in a deep learning rig with a high end Pro GPU. There is also talk of "accidentally upgraded the memory to 32GB".

Yea, so I thought I only needed 32gb for refinement but I ran out of memory when training a 800mb dataset.

I use a 3600 ryzen right now and I saw that v100s are approximately the same price as a Titan rtx .

You only need a large amount of system RAM for the initial dataset encoding. You can do this once per dataset on a high memory config on AWS for pennies.
I agree with you but I want to keep costs down so I am using my workstation .
I’m offended but I just wrote my comment too quickly .
