Last time when the housing market bubble burst I was able to buy my current home for 35k, which was dope. What do I get when the AI bubble burst, a shitty racist computer program?

A cheap apartment in a hollowed out data center

A video card that’s only slightly overpriced

You get your retirement fucked over lol

Nah, my portfolio is completely divested from big tech.

All my money is in an etf devoted to creating ngo's that gaslight people into believing global warming isn't really happening. That burning feeling you get when you go outside is just your skin being weird.

Truth.

Every day I just get a little more and more jaded. Bullshit fuck ass system we have to deal with, while all my homies slave away, and I get to watch rich kids with allowances more than my paycheck and never work a fucking day in their life gallivant around the city and internet. Fucking pisses me off so much.

Sorry for the rant lol

If it makes you feel better, the planet is in a climate feedback loop right now and the worldwide ecosystem is in complete collapse, and will get exponentially worse in our lifetimes, causing worldwide conflict over water, arable land, and livable area, and everyone is just pretending it’s not going to happen

After the collapse, it will not be possible to regain access to modern tech trees because all the resources close to the surface were mined away 200 years ago, and we would lack the engineering base and industrial capability to manufacture the tools needed to reach those resources, not to mention those resources would be needed to develop those precursors anyway

We will return to monke. No credit scores. No power plants. No smartphones. Just farmers.

Most of the higher-end data center chips that have been the main point of investment aren't designed/supported for home use or gaming, so even then it might not be usable outside of tensor processing.

If tech history has taught me anything that if it's cheap enough somebody with enough knowledge and time and not a lot of money is going to revolutionize shit off of that

On one hand, the US economy crashed and the country is plunged into a deep recession.

On the other hand, you can build a high end gaming PC for the same cost as a PS5.

AI GPUs are like 50-70 thou a piece and they're not suitable for home computing
