PewDiePie creates an AI council, appoints himself supreme leader, and wipes out members who underperform—only for his 'councillors' to collude against him

I must admit, I never really kept up with the still hugely popular YouTuber PewDiePie (to the tune of 110 million subscribers). So imagine my surprise when I discovered that these days he's doing bizarre hardware experiments, like bifurcating his PCIe slots to install a ludicrous amount of Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada GPUs, with an additional RTX 4090 thrown in for good luck. All for the sake of science and AI.

So, what does one do with a $20,000 rig (that hiss you're hearing is all the air leaving my lungs at once)? Well, in the beginning, the YouTuber—whose real name is Felix Kjellberg— ran protein folding simulations at night in aid of cancer research. Neat! But it wasn't long before Kjellberg disappeared into the rabbit warren of locally hosting massive AI models, eventually creating an AI-powered council and appointing himself as dictator.
