"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.

Ok, so they bought billions of dollars of ram/storage, to put inside servers that haven't been bought yet, to put inside data centers that haven't been built yet, in order to run AI that doesn't work yet, in order to chase profits that are impossible to achieve.
And now, despite driving ram prices up to absurd prices, you've begun to realize the same thing all of us knew from before day one. NOBODY WANTS THIS SHIT!!!
Yup and this is all going according to plan.
Corner the Market
Raise prices
Sell High - The bubble will not burst until they're ready to leave us holding the bag. The burst will be triggered by the sell off.
Buy low - All these assets will be liquidated during bankruptcy for pennies on the dollar; to the same shareholders as before.
Rinse
Repeat
Fuck you (and me)
You forgot to throw a couple bailouts in there and some regulatory capture mandating AI slop in you cars or something for "safety."
they are peddling AI so hard as a surveillence tech for most government, because they think that is where constant revenue stream is.the~___~
