"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Raspberry PI 4 MSRP when introduced (2019): $35 (1 GB) $45 (2 GB) $55 (4 GB) $75 (8 GB)
Raspberry PI 5 MSRP when introduced (2023): $45 (1GB - added later) $50 (2 GB) $60 (4 GB) $80 (8 GB) $120 (16 GB)
The 5 while claiming 2x performance was considered to be the start of offering no value for many users since it started above $100 for the 16 GB model, which many small form factor used PCs from EBay could surpass in performance for projects that required no GPIO (like self hosting apps).
Before 2020 each new generation would offer a performance and memory boost at similar prices to the previous.
