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.

To be fair, I think a 32GB RAM should have costed $60 by now, if not for this AI shit.
why the hell didn't i get that ddr4 3600mhz 32gb when it was on sale for like $85 ๐ญ
And hard disks too. Fuck myself for thinking 4TB NAS drives were too expensive.
i got my chance with the hdd this May and i took it, a factory refurbished 28tb exos, through Amazon prime. $360 including shipping and tax.
otherwise i would be deleting shit right now ๐ฅณ
what bothers me most about the ram is that when i assembled my pc like 10 years ago, i paid $180 for 16gb of ram, because ram pricing was riding a bubble then too.
