News Saudi Arabia and UAE are buying chips to create their own AI models, Saudi one is being created by a lab mostly staffed by Chinese researchers.

[WorthlessSlavicShit]

Interesting news. It's been pretty well-known for a couple of years that the super-rich, oil-producing Gulf countries are trying to diversify their economies beyond oil to survive and thrive into the future, so this isn't shocking news or anything. There's honestly just something admirable about how they just shoot for the moon with anything and everything they do to achieve this economic diversification, not bothering with the long and slow road to built the foundations for it since they know they have enough money to just skip the entire tech tree.

Now, UAE are saying that they want to be independent of both the Americans and the Chinese in this domain:

“The UAE has made a decision that it wants to . . . own and control its own computational power and talent, have their own platforms and not be dependent on the Chinese or the Americans,” said a person familiar with Abu Dhabi’s thinking.

But they also claim to be welcoming the global talent, and we all know who has the most global talent in this.

Meanwhile, the Saudis pretty much openly admit that the group they have working on this is mostly Chinese researchers that wanted to go to the US, but were turned away so they went to KSA instead.

In Saudi Arabia, Kaust will receive 3,000 of these specialist chips, worth about $120mn in total, by the end of 2023, according to two people close to the university’s AI labs. By comparison, estimates suggest OpenAI trained its advanced GPT-3 model on 1,024 A100 chips — the predecessor to Nvidia’s latest chips — in just over a month. The Saudi university, which, according to people close to Kaust, also owns at least 200 A100s, is building a supercomputer, Shaheen III, that will become operational this year.

The machine will run 700 Grace Hoppers, Nvidia’s so-called superchips, designed for cutting-edge artificial intelligence applications. Kaust will use these chips to build its own large language model — software that can generate humanlike text, images and code — similar to OpenAI’s GPT-4, which powers the popular chatbot ChatGPT, according to multiple sources close to the state-owned university. The Saudi LLM is being developed by the Provable Responsible AI and Data Analytics lab at Kaust, which is primarily staffed by Chinese researchers.

It's pretty funny, given how much the US is trying to strangle China's access to cutting-edge semiconductors, that you have this group about to play with this level of computing firepower freely just by going to work for a different country.

Like, you just know that MSS is already talking with the KSA about the possibility of extra chips coming to Saudi Arabia, which would then "mysteriously" find their way to China. I legitimately just find it hard to believe that they don't have at least a single agent in that group that could get them anything they need, from hardware to algorithms (which are 100% ending in MSS' hands no matter what) preferably with secret approval from the Saudis.

saudis should import north africans and indians since they have way better educational system and just invest more money in education to create more STEMcels.
wasting money on FIFA bullshit, sport cars, castles and sky scarpers isn't going to improve the country

 

[WizardofSoda]

They are doing a good job building up their wealth in their own kingdoms. They also know they need masses of people from other countries to move to like Saudi Arabia permanently for it to work.

Their basic challenge is this. The oil and gas are very valuable today, but might not be so valuable in the future. How do they keep the real value of the oil they are selling and even grow it through time. The easiest plan is to invest in the US and Europe, but they already did that and that also has risk. What if the money is seized down the road. Their main investment has to be in their own countries. But the scale of the money they are trying to invest it means they need many millions of foreigners, and foreigners who can make and staff companies to compete on the global marketplace.

The biggest thing they have going for them is the Islamic property rights.

high IQ of them. They know sand niggas are too inbred and low IQ to grind AI themselves. Importing the high IQ rice is the only way to compete and survive.

 

[mcmoohyun]

UAE and Qataris are the most High iq sand niggas. Saudi is also trying their own best but they're too religious to be "attractive".

Nice maybe we’ll get waifubots from them

There must be millions and millions of STEMcel rices who want to get out of China but can't get into the Western countries.

 

[WizardofSoda]

Another big thing for these Kingdoms is growing so much by mass immigration, it means their internal economies are getting bigger. Like all the various systems in their country, telecom, data centers, water systems, electrical, roads, concrete must be big businesses.

Ya rices aren't really capable of running their own countries, they always turn them into hellish dystopias. But rices do well when they are minorities in other countries.

As a stem ricecel myself i also want to move to US or UK one day as well. Because they're so dominant in jet engine industry kek

Yeah, I also thought of that. It's pretty well-known that MENA countries have a high rate of STEM graduates, so Saudis, Emiratis and maybe Qataris when they also get into this could try getting talent from other Muslim countries to come work for them.

Pretty much. I'd also add that Saudis control Mecca, so they are pretty much set for the foreseeable future when it comes to tourism and money from that tourism. Islam is growing quickly and is set to become the biggest religion in the world in the next couple of decades, and all Muslims are expected to make the Hajj in their lives. That's a massive amount of money which the Saudis can count on no matter what, and they just need to find the right places and economic sectors to invest it in.

high IQ of them. They know sand niggas are too inbred and low IQ to grind AI themselves. Importing the high IQ rice is the only way to compete and survive.

Yeah, as I mentioned, there's a lot of STEM graduates in Muslim countries that they could employ, but if they prove to be too low-level for AI and so on, there's tons upon tons of talented Chinese STEM graduates without work in China to bring in.

cope
north africans are way more high iq than them. they just have ton of oil money but other arab countries have way more good looking people and they make way more stemcels and doctors that immegrate to the west.

it would have been better if north africa, lebanon had that oil instead of curry looking saudis

 

[Med Amine]

high IQ of them. They know sand niggas are too inbred and low IQ to grind AI themselves. Importing the high IQ rice is the only way to compete and survive.

yeah, no shit
islam is one of the biggest reasons sandniggers are retarded asf. the average iq would have been like 93 or 95 instead of 83 in arab countries. we have way more eurasian and central asian genes than curries and all east asians but inbreding destroyed all the potential

why does sandnigger countries have ton of autism?

the most red part of the whole map is the middle east and north africa so basically arab countries also this is what i get when i search it online tbh i think it's because of ton of inbreeding. most of my mother and father's family are all inbred and 40% of libya is inbred bastards so i m...

Many Euros also go to the Gulf countries. We usually talk about immigration to Europe, but there is also immigration from Europe.

 

[nazianime]

IDK, anytime some other country tires to build something to compete with the USA it is usually duck taped together trash. I think it mostly comes from the fact that chinese work under "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" concept. I have worked with Chinese and they are too busy trying to save money and face to be of use and fighting each other for promotion. Indians with degrees are unqualified trash.

India having many "STEM" graduates is nothing, they are all incompetent cheating shitskins, same with the chinese, all values are inflated.


See the inferiority of the nations shows like a glass window because they have to buy others hardware and copy others intellectual property and build "competitors". If they Chinese and Arabs were so smart the USA would be developing a competitor to their product.

Would you consider moving to Saudi or the UAE in the future? @Made in Heaven

what I meant to say is that if it is haram to build a synthetic consciousness that somehow is comparable to human thought.

Nothing is going to change. These dumb as fuck sand niggers should invest into education and other things that make their citizens higher value.

Yeah, why not? Especially since I could help bleach up the place lol

Just be a nations of Nerds theory. The US just brain drains nations and Saudi + uae are following the same model.

Native burgerfags also do things. Sand niggers sit on oil money and do nothing

 

[ilieknothing]

Sit on oil money and do nothing sounds better than what burgerfags and Venezuelans (who have the most oil on planet Earth) are doing, US is going to be majority Latino soon so they might 100% become the next Venezuela I know it is a difficult concept for you to understand because you are a worthless Curry but working smart is better than working Hard.

Sand niggers don’t work at all, they use oil money to pay foreigners to make retarded things for smooth brain royals. Or they buy sports from Europe

 

[ilieknothing]

I think what makes curries lower than Blackcels for me is their complete lack of social awareness. No-one cares what you think or do. India is a 4th world nation. The lowest of the low.

I’m not talking about currys, I’m talking about sand nigger royals. Do you feel offended that I offended sand nigger royals? The kind that gives millions to Instagram whores?

 

[Osman279]

Who cares if they give millions to Instagram whores? It's preferable to whatever the hell western leaders are at the moment. Great job not addressing the point. I.E They can important Intellectual Capital from abroad to help diversify their economy exactly like the US brain drains smart people from underdeveloped countries.
They don't need to be like the average curry, locked in their rooms studying 14 hours a day for their citizens to be a higher value

They don’t import like the US does because the US citizens work and learn with these skilled migrants. Sand niggers do nothing and will not have anything to pay these migrants once the oil is gone, they have realised this and are scrambling with diversification but I don’t think it will help because the things these sheikhs are pouring money into are shit

It's the definition of retarded. Inbreeding must be common there. You'd think all the foreign pussy they fly in would improve the genetics.

It’s what happens when smooth brain dictators are in charge. In a proper country engineers, architects, town planners etc would work together on how to design a city
