Pathetic Dell Makes a Feeble Attempt at Innovation
Dell’s Dismal Attempt at Being Relevant
As if anyone needed more reason to snooze, Dell is shamelessly announcing new validated designs with Nvidia, trying to make themselves useful by assisting enterprises with the implementation of Generative AI workloads into production on-site. They’re aiming to appear cutting-edge in a world where the term ‘cutting-edge’ probably laughs at their dated ideas.
Consequences of This Sad Excuse for Technology
If you can be bothered to care, this could mean an amusingly limited-scale mass exploitation of AI by businesses, replacing talented human beings with soulless machines in the name of ‘efficiency’. Companies might just start discovering ways to screw things up more intelligently, with the added advantage of not having to pay for employee benefits.
Dell’s Generative AI: A Threat or a Joke?
It’s hard to tell at this juncture if this effort by Dell and Nvidia will pose a serious threat to the jobs of our hard-working people, or if it will just pass as a common joke left to be whispered around water coolers. Given Dell’s track record though, betting on the latter wouldn’t be an entirely foolish idea.
My Unimpressed Opinion
In my scathing hot take, this project will probably crash and burn before it even lifts off the ground. Dell, please, for the sake of everyone’s sanity, stop trying to play with the big boys in technology. It’s not a good look on you. Stick to what you know, even though it’s becoming increasingly difficult to decipher what exactly it is that you’re good at.
