My thoughts on generative "AI"
I'm glad generative artificial "intelligence" was not a thing yet during the vast majority of my career. A number of realizations arose while exploring generative Large Language Models…
Generative AI is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-AI is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. If you appreciate art, support the artists, not the thieves of their labor.
Tech corporations are building more and more huge data centers for AI processing, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and more, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment.
Unless you're using a fully local AI configuration, every bit of data you submit contributes to the power and reach of corporations and governments, decreasing your privacy and security.
Generative AI enables deepfakes that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting justice, science advancement and news report credibility.

Yes. Release Highlights for 580.142 comments about it.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265444/
If you need legacy 580 series (currently at 580.142) for old GPUs on #FreeBSD you can use:
x11/nvidia-kmod-580
x11/nvidia-driver-580
And if you prefer DRM/KMS interface, one of
graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod-580
that matches your base FreeBSD version is needed additionally.
If you need #NVIDIA #Linux libraries, you additionally need:
x11/linux-nvidia-libs-580
Note that, as "-devel" variants of NVIDIA #GPU drivers on FreeBSD #ports tracks whichever newer one of New Feature Branch (NFB) or Production Branch (PB), "-devel" variants are currently at 595.58.03, too. Both 580.142 and 595.58.03 are released this month (Mar., 2026).
Beta drivers are just triggers for us to start investigating for upcoming NFB or PB, thus, FreeBSD ports should never been bumped for them (although supports for testing could appear earlier with upgrades for PB, NFB or legacy drivers).
And one of the related thread in forums.freebsd.org here.

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=b35026e786a2c761d4b2b7853a989ab23dda5e9b
No plan for merging into quarterly branch (now 2026Q1), but next quarterly 2026Q2 would be created early April.
Note that this version drops support for a bunch of old (pre-Turing generation of architectures) GPUs.
Anyone using affected GPUs need switching to newly created -580 variant of legacy branch.
You can find your GPU is still supported or not here.

580 series are NOT yet found on NVIDIA Unix Driver Archive page as Legacy version,
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/
but I think one would appear later, as 580.xx is listed as driver for legacy GPUs.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says China is 'formidable' in robotics, citing the country's leading position in microelectronics, motors, rare earth and magnets essential to robotics. Despite the US pioneering the industry, its robotics sector now relies deeply on China's supply chain, Huang said at Nvidia's GTC event. The comment comes as Nvidia bets on physical AI and seeks to return to the Chinese market. https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3347427/nvidias-huang-calls-china-formidable-robotics-company-bets-physical-ai #China #Tech #AI #NVIDIA

nVidia's announcement of #DLSS5 seems farcial for people interested in computer games. Running every frame through a slop-filter, turning every landscape into an HDR postcard, swapping every face with a beautified standard face, not matching the character's looks between scenes like an incompetent shape shifter.
However it does make sense as an announcement to investors. We have another use for AI! After the previous performance improvements in business that nobody can measure.

Note that this won't appear in #FreeBSD #ports, as it's "Beta".
"-devel" variants in ports are for whichever the newer of "New Feature Branch (NFB)" or "Production Branch (PB)" of drivers.
Investigating for future NFB or PB upgrades, FreeBSD native driver ports should work by overriding version as usual.
But Linux counterparts (installed by overriding version of x11/linux-nvidia-libs{-devel}) need some fixes.
Beware! This version does NOT work on pre-Turing generations of GPUs, just as 590 series.

“The data centres at the heart of the ai craze are built around graphics processing units (#GPU s), the chips which power #AIModels. But they also need cpus.
#Nvidia, the leading maker of gpus, uses Arm designs for its cpus, as do #cloud giants such as #Amazon and #Google. Mr Haas argues that this is only the beginning.
As #AI workloads shift from #training to #inference, where models respond to user queries, demand for efficient, general-purpose processors should rise. Much of that work, #Arm’s boss expects, will spread beyond #DataCentres into #phones, #wearables and #cars, again favouring #CPU s.”

Here's an update to my #microblog of my latest Linux Mint install.
Today I discovered that I did not have the correct NVidia GPU drivers setup to run a local Stable Diffusion model. (Don't ask me about SD, I just have a new-to-me old GPU begging for interesting code to try.)
I resolved my driver issue with the following steps:
+ I pressed the Windows key on my keyboard.
+ I typed in the word 'drivers' and the clicked on the one suggested menu item that matched my search.
+ A setting panel appeared and informed me that I had four driver options for my NVidia graphics card.
+ Of the four options, one had the word "recommended" beside it. It was the selected one.
+ So I clicked on the "recommended" one.
+ I closed the window.
+ A new window informed me that I would need to reboot to apply the the change.
+ I rebooted, and found that Stable Diffusion can now see my GPU.
Gosh! Whatever shall become of poor Nvidia once the AI bubble of bullshit bursts? How will they ever survive??
Got this in email.
"The second-gen transformer model for DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution uses 5x more compute and an expanded training data set for greater context awareness of every scene and more intelligent use of pixel sampling and motion vectors."
Yep. We're gonna need more Nvidia cards to drive our games with "greater context awareness of every scene," which is frightening to future me.
I'd link to the article, but it leads with an AI-generated summary, which means it's mostly that bullshit I referenced above, but you get the picture, lol.
Also useful for movie production.

RTX 5070 is supported by 580 series and above (in #FreeBSD ports, x11/nvidia-kmod{-devel}, x11/nvidia-driver{-devel} and optionally graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod depending on the version of your base FreeBSD version).
But Blackwell generation (possibly later generation, too) of architecture is known to have issues that (AFAIK) #nvidia is still working on fixing. At least, you'll additionally need
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1
in your /boot/loader.conf to enable GSP.
If you need to enable iGPU, too, you'll need graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod, too.
If you have any plans to upgrade your GPU to something in the Nvidia 5000 series, then do this sooner rather than later.
Supplies will apparently be constrained into late 2026 so prices will rise by at least 30% for base components. Probably much higher for retail pricing 😕
Nvidia has allegedly overbooked AI production so other product SKUs will be constrained/delayed or cancelled.

So, now they know how real creators feel after having been ripped off by "AI"…

Very nice. Impressive results, open weights, ability to run locally (given hardware) with retained ability to sell and thus maintain.

I'd predict that we will indeed see a slow shift from mainframe (frontier models on API) to PC/data center (on-machine/on-prem) again together with the continuous evolution of the respective hardware.
I'm especially also curios too see
- what amount of rehash of the old concepts of freeware/shareware
- the classic FOSS approaches to business such as service/support, open core, (hardware) complement etc. we will see
- and of course in which new clothes as well as if we will see any really new concepts to the open business approaches given the open AI models.
And of course I still want my solar powered Claude Code equivalent under my desk. Too young to fully experience the SPARC and SGI Octane, o2 etc era, second time's the charm...🤣

Dell has the chance to do the funniest thing ever. Win the market by simply doing nothing with AI. Just market hardware like it is 2019 again 😂
So many people are begging for a computer that isn't trying to *think* for us. Just sell us computers that work and you will end up crushing the competition by default.

@rraggl eben!
#WindowsXP kann (ohne modifizierte Installationsmedien) weder #SCSI noch #SATA geschweige denn #SAS oder #NVMe-Medien nativ booten und erkennen und verlangt zwingend die #Treiber auf 3,5" #Diskette (!!!)
Das Problem besteht bis einschließlich #Windows7 fort, samt Unfähigkeit ohne Spezialsoftware von #USB-Speichersticks & -Festplatten wie SSDs zu installieren.
#Windows8 & #Windows 8.1 hat immerhin #SATA-Triber bekommen und
Erst ab #Windows10 gab's #NVMe-Support ohne Frickelei.
Von der Fummelei keinen #MicroShit-Accoint für #Windows11 zu brauchen und zu verhindern dass jenes #Govware-OS konstant alle Dateien in #OneDrive hochlädt noch garnicht angefangen.
Dass fundamentale #Treiber bis heute nicht in #Windows integriert sind und wie in den 1990ern #Treiber händlisch reingeprügelt werden müssen ist auch ein Unding dass es so glücklicherweise nie unter #Linux gab.
- Klar Murks alla #nvidia und einige beschissene Geräte sind immernoch beschissen, aber so #Bloatware wie #GeForceExperience gibt's aus guten Gründen nicht…
Meine Beispiele bei Windows sind noch nichtmals weirde Edge-Cases sondern fundamentale Funktionen…
- #Linux mag zwar in seltensten Fällen auf Konsole crashen, aber es kann von dort wenigstens repariert oder sogar benutzt werden!
