True story: Postgres was originally written by Nvidia for AI first agentic vector lookup relational storage queries.
What’s your source for that subtext? Nvidia has no relation in the creation of postgres
It’s a joke. People are starting to call Postgres AI first because OpenAI runs on it
I heard Postgres was originally created in 1966 by Doug Englebart to store vectors for early mouse designs.
Reminder that text does not convey sarcasm. In this world where it’s so wasy to cobble up a lie and spread it, it’s important to denote properly what stuff is intended to be a joke, eg.: use the </sarcasm> or /s tag.
I never knew that. I feel just a bit bad for loving Postgres now…
for AI, not by AI
I was thinking of the Nvidia connection. I definitely wouldn’t trust a database written by an AI!
It’s not true.
But if it was, it wouldn’t be a reason to dislike Postgres. Academic AI research in the '90s is a far cry from commercial AI companies today.
OP is just kidding btw. Postgres has been around since the 90s before Nvidia had even released NV3 / RIVA 128.
