Elon Musk Just Fired Up Colossus – The World’s Largest Nvidia GPU Supercomputer by blueghost(m): 1:18pm On Sep 06
Elon Musk does it again, proving ambition and unveiling Colossus, the world’s largest Nvidia GPU supercomputer. All set in 122 days to show the speed and scale at which this man—Musk—shows his presence and commitment to lead AI development.

Colossus, meant to power xAI’s large language model (LLM) Grok, is installed in a new data center located in Memphis, Tennessee; it incorporates 100,000 Nvidia Hopper H100 processors. Currently, this supercomputer represents the most powerful AI training system across the globe. Musk’s startup xAI, founded just last year, plans to challenge OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-4 with Grok, currently available to the paying subscribers on Musk’s X social media platform. The same experts feel that eventually, Grok will be the superbrain for Telsa’s humanoid robot Optimus—a project that Musk predicts will bring in $1 trillion annually. The supercomputer’s rapid construction and impressive specifications signal Musk’s determination to dominate the AI landscape. He plans to double Colossus’s capacity within months, adding 50,000 of Nvidia’s next-generation H200 processors, further accelerating xAI’s advancements. Musk’s partnership with Nvidia is crucial, as he pledged to spend up to $4 billion on AI hardware this year.
Despite the excitement, Colossus has raised concerns in Memphis. City officials are worried about the strain on resources, as the supercomputer requires massive amounts of water and electricity for cooling and operation. Nevertheless, Musk’s philosophy of speed and ambition drives his decision-making. In a conversation with podcaster Lex Fridman, Musk emphasized the importance of speeding up processes, believing that anything can be done faster than initially thought.

As xAI continues its meteoric rise, Musk’s strategic moves have placed him in a strong position in the race to develop artificial general intelligence, and Colossus is a testament to his ability to execute large-scale projects swiftly and effectively.

Reminds me of Samaritan from the show Person of Interest.

We've been getting WARNED about the dangers of AI since time immemorial. Books, tv shows and movies have shown the INEVITABLE apocalypse that comes with Artificial Intelligence.

Yet NOBODY seems to be taking the threats seriously.

DUMB people in government fold their arms and look on HELPLESSLY as PRIVATE individuals and institutions are rushing to invest in and research on AI.

We are in a period where SIGNIFICANT advancements are being made in ROBOTICS and AI at the SAME time.

When these advancements reach their PEAK, which will be sooner than most people think, and some BILLIONAIRE, corporation or country decide to SYNTHESIZE them, we'll all be in TROUBLE.

You will have SUPERSTRONG robots that are also SUPERSMART. Humans will LOSE control of their SELF-SUFFICIENT robots.

At that point, trying to control robots/AIs would be like a dog trying to take a human being for a walk. The HIERARCHY of the food chain will change.

The slaves will become the MASTERS. And the world will become a DYSTOPIAN hellscape.

Let’s see it in action. Will it stop fake news from being an epidemic on X?
