University of Bristol and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have been awarded an investment to make the UK a world leader in AI with new Isambard-AI supercomputer. The new system will be UK’s most powerful supercomputer, with over 5,000 state-of-the-art NVIDIA GH200 superchips, capable of an incredible 200 quadrillion calculations per second.

    Does everyone just forget that Hewlett Packard are Titanic-grade shitbergs. I wouldn’t trust them to help the UK government find Waldo! If there is ever a company guaranteed to create AI that will take over the world and enslave the human race, step aside Cyberdyne… it’s fucking HP here to cartridge-lock you into a human egg sac to feed our new AI overlords.

      To add, the government wanting to do this mere weeks after basically saying they want to backdoor encrypted messaging services, makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. The reality being that they are almost certainly not connected, but you still can’t help but have that niggling feeling at the back of your mind.
