They use a different kind of RAM.

It's the capacity to make RAM and the materials required to make RAM that is going to datacenters.

They use a different kind of RAM.

I probably got an adapter lying around somewhere

What's more is they use HBM RAM, which is very complicated to build and has a much lower yield than the much-cheaper-to-make consumer ram.

So, not only are they dedicating all of their resources to billionaire assholes with fantasies of mind control over the masses, but they're also wasting much more materials and energy to make this stupid ram.

Yes? Check out my posts too, lots of ai.

Do you have a point besides being a creep?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So you’re mad about computers being built to run LLMs but you use them constantly? That makes no sense.

[–] TerdFerguson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because we live in a binary world with nothing other than absolute polarity.

I hate LLM, i also use LLM.

How can it be true?! The hypocrisy!

and yet you live in a society!

It's almost like it's not a black and white issue, and there's a whole lot of in between...that's clearly not your game however. Looking forward to the next Gotcha™ from you tho. See ya later.

So we should just straight-up vandalize them? As much property damage as possible, forget the shotguns, bring bulldozers, gasoline and road flares?

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy.world runs from a data center, and virtually all other instances

So we would not be able to have this conversation unless something more decentralized appears

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is my understanding that sh.itjust.works is hosted on hardware that is in The_Dude's physical possession, so I think we could manage.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Except you would have only your server to talk with

Once again I say, "Oh no!"

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You should target their internet connection. Fiber cables are easier to damage and harder to protect. It's also easier to fix so longer, organized campaign would be needed but I think it would be possible to avoid capture for longer.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Whose this "you" you refer to? XD

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 2 months ago

The same as your "we". I assume you have some group ready to go.

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You. When you said "we should" that does kinda imply you're willing to engage in this as well :P

Now let's be clear here: I'm only inciting violence. My person committing violence may or may not occur, your honor/ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
