Awesome company, awesome products. I wish they pushed AI less in their socials, like we get it computers and servers means ai workloads. It just devalues their whole image in my opinion. Hope you all do continue to do awesome things and don't become evil.
I think some of that is defensive. They don’t have a GPU or other AI Accelerator story right now. They have to remind people that regular compute is still relevant for all the other stuff around the AI workload.
That said AMD’s participation in this round + heavy hints on the podcast and YouTube suggest they will pursue an GPGPU Compute Sled built around an AMD product.
That’s certainly the aim! What is Oxide's thinking around GPUs? FAQ Friday #56 https://youtu.be/3y5DwFJH3ho
As the person who runs socials, the idea we push AI on socials doesn’t resonate. I get more feedback around “thank goodness you haven’t pivoted to AI-washing your website/marketing”
I think I was moreso referring to how I started following some of your employees and then my feed became very ai heavy so I removed them. Like the "nonai users get left behind", "you should be token maxing" type of messaging, etc. Sorry to misconstrue marketing with other forms of PR
