It _was_ a great asset, however, just like models need proper data, as soon as musk removed the clamps on valuable social signals, well, he basically took a dump where he intended to eat.
Why would the problem ever go away? It's compression technologys have existed virtually since the beginning of computing, and one could argue human brains do their own version of compression during sleep.
Your comment reminded me of this old simulacra paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.03442) :) iirc, they compressed the "memory roll" of the agents every once in a while
The AMD395+ PCs have unified memory and since it's not tied to a garbage OS nor reasonably affected by future dram costs, it's a better choice for reasonable people, unless you're going for greater than 128GB
The people trump relies on to make his decisions (if he's making them) include tons of far right accelerationists; so they'd be happy to watch modern society fall.
But if you just stop collecting data? No, these are not your father's red versus blue stats.
