Who is funding this? Sounds like a fun experiment but that’s a huge amount of compute if I understand correctly.

According to a quick google search:

"He is currently CTO at Xinobi AI, a Japan-based startup developing personal AI agents."

This is a self funded weekend project for me. It's not associated with any employer (:

> dedicated 60-vCPU server

How many of these are you paying for out of pocket??

[cybertim]

I own a dedicated 48vCPU with even 160GB RAM.. its not that expensive, check ebay, maybe now with mem prices it will be a bit more steep but as a hobby it's not crazy to think one owns such a piece of hardware. My dual GPU setup was more expensive I think.

When I looked into this a year ago, it was like €60/mo through Hetzner auction. Might be more now but even if it's double or triple it's not that crazy for a hobby.

If you built yourself out of used parts you could do it for under a grand back then too.

Post-money people with side interests are what built the current western civilization.

[Ar-Curunir]

No, underpaid nerds have built modern civilization.

[TOMDM]

No, the people growing their food built modern civilization.

(Or millions of disconnected stakeholders with different incentives collectively built modern civilization, but who wants to put that on a bumper sticker)

[abc123abc123]

No people procreating built civilization.

I thought it was Sid Meier.

Nature created people and the metaphysics in their heads.

[barrenko]

Yeah, what did I say?
