How could you forget that your love life is DOA...

Is it like you're always stuck in second gear?

Mabey it has not been your week...

I hope someone is there for you.

To further stretch these tortured metaphors:

System integrated memory is like feudalism, the ram stays bound to the machine.

Buying RAM dims as lots of individuals and pairs like they are on a ship bound for Rio de Janeiro in 1820, is what they are doing now. Just stack them up in a warehouse until they put them to work in the data center/plantation where they labor away or wear out or the market collapses.

Even more interesting when the technology is what is eliminating the people behind the technology.

Yea, and they are gonna need to self police that 8tb of random porn. That's a liability, just waiting for the internet cops to strike.

Hope they didn't miss that 100mb file of some milf choking on a hot load, that's 50 years in prison now. (Meanwhile, it's ok to sexually assault people IRL if you're rich).

Lol toons... Seemed like a great idea right after Who Framed Rodger Rabbit came out. Tried a few games, not my bag but interesting, fun character design.

Though, thinking of Steve Jackson games, Car Wars was a ton of fun, but I have not tried the remake.

I have a fair bit of ram but its spread out. My poor main rig only has 32 ddr4, and I picked up 32 for my primary proxmox host when it was $80, I wish I would have just upgraded them all. Lol. So many salvaged 8g dimms so few ram slots.

As for my card: At the time I was reluctant to spend the $750 (EVGA was clearance selling them, just before they exited the GPU market), but after seeing them hit $2500 at the peak I couldn't resist. Apparently it was a good call based on the market since then, it's been a great card, and will probably be running my home lab when the next upgrade cycle comes. (The home server is currently 3 mini PCs in a trench coat, so a real GPU will help)

The all caps were a nice value add.

Well, no point having a discussion with fanatics. Enjoy fighting the steam engine John Henry. Meanwhile, some of us will at least try to make sure the benefits of the new tech go to the people and not the top 1% while you scream at the sky.

I'll trade you some garlic bulbs and sweet potato slips.

We can make garlic fries and play emulated games on 5 year.old hardware for the next 4 years while we wait for the collapse.

I was very lucky I decided to build a rig right after the last crypto collapse. My only regret is not going over the top with ram and storage.

I'll be playing my DEEP catalog of games (decades of personal collection and frankly amazing emulation capabilities) for years on this 3080 EVGA ftw. It's like we are holding the holy relics of a once great civilization. Mabey the 2nd foundation will do better.

Don't worry, console prices are also going up. (unless the whole chip market collapses, but even with the pull back it's not collapsing now)

This sounds like "ban the Internet" in 1995.

Sure push back against the hyper scalers, spread the warnings of social change (it's going to happen, we couldn't stop spam, and shortened attention spans either), but reactionary bans and hyperbolic name calling will only help the tech influencers fearmonger in their own legislation that benefits them not the people.

LLM is a real engineering term.

AI is a broad umbrella that marketers have stretched past meaning.

AGI and SI are hypotheses about future systems with no agreed definitions, tests, or measurement, and legislation written against undefined, non-existent categories can't be enforced, only performed.
