Sure, but also fuck AI.
fuck the US of AI ?

Naw, fuck AI.

Ok firebrand. We all know what we mean by AI when it is spoken in conversation. It is shorthand for generative AI. If you want to be patronizing and pedantic, that’s on you. We normal folks use shorthand and understand each other. Fuck AI.

I get you. I think the sentiment is generally an exaggerated “Fuck Big Tech”.
Similar to how crypto bros ruined cryptocoins but people say “Fuck Bitcoin”.
Anti-ai bots are literally bots (ironic) or otherwise children/idiots who think in memes instead of rationally.
Definitely fuck all those, but also fuck fake ai.
Hey when it pops, there may be a surplus of needlessly powerful but battered graphics cards that can’t really be used for crypto and other components.
Or just more e-waste destine to form a thin sedimentary layer in 10,000 years
We’re going to go back to covid times when it was cheaper up buy a computer with the graphics card in it than to buy the graphics card out right, but now with ram.
I’m getting so burnt out with the blatant corruption and data centers sucking up all the hardware. You know at the end of the day, all these companies are boasting record profits.
That’s the thing, they’re absolutely not. Nearly all AI implementation fails and returns on investment are minimal, if they exist at all. They’re all part of a big gamble.
Just wait for them to go belly up, and then buy the used hardware
Yup. Like I just grabbed a nice laptop for $150 that was $1200 in 2025 because Microsoft dictated that every computer is obsolete to their OS.
Much like RAM, around 90% of Nvidia’s hardware in 2025 is for data centers. Unfortunately it’s mostly specialized hardware that can’t be used in consumer computers.
My 32 GB of RAM isn’t going to last me until the bubble bursts, is it? God dammit.
I am still running 16GB of DDR3
I was running 16 for years and only recently upgraded when I hit a wall with modern games. I think the majority of games are fine with 16.
Are you running a hypervisor?
I had to Google hypervisor before I could answer. No, I’m not running any virtual machines on my computer. It’s pretty much just a media machine: games, movies, music, websites, etc.
Then 32 is more than enough for many more years to come.
Thanks for saying so! A lot of people will tell gamers that they need 64 or even 96 so it’s difficult to know what’s actually true.
I have a friend that runs 128g of RAM. He uses the computer almost entirely for Reddit and stock tracking
You must have 1TB of GPUs, else, you can’t even run Doom in proper resolution!
My PC has 32GB of RAM. I can run a video game while having a fuckton of browser tabs open. I could probably get away with 16.
Soon: Desolder RAM from PS5 = Profit?
Infinite Money Glitch
Perhaps we’ll finally get memory efficient software again
Sorry, but that would require actual R&D and problem solving alongside jargon that your PM didn’t learn in their MBA program.
“The business case doesn’t add sufficient value for the customer. We need to prioritize creating a lickable UI.”
“Is… Is there a C missing?”
“I said what I said.”
Really wishing I’d bought the 128GB DDR4 I need last year.
Any bets on the DRAM makers getting so excited over this and having felt left out of the stupid graphics card pricing, that they put the world into a perpetual DRAM shortage and this is just the new norm.
At first I was thinking, “WTF, why did the prices shoot up so high?” And then I looked up how much I spent on 32GB of RAM rated for the same speeds back in 2022: Three Hundred Fucking Dollars. The price didn’t shoot up; it never went down!
For larger RAM chips if went up - sometimes more than double - in half a year. I can literally look at the RAM I purchased in June and it’s more than twice that price now
Ah crap. Since months I was thinking of adding more RAM. My current 32gb is sufficient and not low at all. But those stuck with 16gb need to wait longer now. The prices will come down, right? Right?
