Meanwhile. Microslop will soon release windows 12. 90% of the computer in the world will need to be updated to barely run an ai booted os.

MODERATORS
The article that came out about Win12 was retracted for being completely fabricated, due to what appears to be a mistake in translation (possibly involving an AI translator) from German to English.
I'm not defending Microslop in any shape or form, tbh I'm sure somehow they are gonna make Windows 12 even worse than 11. But yeah, the original info about Win12 was speculation that got lost in translation.

As proud as we are, Lemmy isn't immune from the misinformation epidemic. My experience is we just drive by, upvote, and internalize a headline's claim without much skepticism, kind of like Reddit, and we largely don't seem to want to do anything about it.
"AI Booted" in the same way a car can get booted, eh? That describes it quite elegantly.
Consumer Desktop Computers*
Most computers actually run Linux (servers) or Android.
Mine will soon too
I used to think I hated computers, but once I tried linux I realized that I just hate windows (and macOS too, for that matter)
What does AI-booted mean? The boot process is deterministic. Why does it need AI?
I don't want my bootloader to be creative or generate novel outputs. I want it to boot quickly, reliably, and the same way every time unless I change something I probably wasn't supposed to.
What part of that could AI even be conceivably inserted into?
"Initializing gobbledygook— not just a process, but a the first of many processes which will activate in sequence to bring your computer from powered-down to ready-to-use! Beep boop."
Step 1 of becoming an AI Bro: Don't let existing, battle-tested solutions stop your new shiny ✨AI powered✨ "solution"
What, don't you want a boot process that offers a different surprise every day?
Windows does that already.
What does AI-booted mean?
It means the developer let Claude write some slop and then went home early to play with their kids. He's not a chump like Linus working all weekend to make things right.

It gets worse. Companies like OpenAI ordered much more than they needed with money they don‘t have just so other companies couldn‘t order them. The world is just upside down every since they shot to gorilla.
Nukes out for Harambe
the true martyr of the Anarcho-Posadist cause
Its evwr since Facebook. Facebook destroyed the world. And people are still using meta.
That’s the problem, too many real humans on Facebook. With more RAM Zuck can achieve its goal of an ideal community of bots endlessly commenting on their own material. A glorious utopia powered by silicon rather than carbon, and like Zuck itself, feigning the existence of emotions it cannot comprehend. Soulless lucidity.

Why is the dollar worth less every year?
I dunno, but just to be safe we should pretend to print more money and buy more houses and land for our new AI data centers that we will close after the collapse, then we will refinance for pennies on the dollar with the money that doesn't exist.
Never fear, we're safe, gentle proles! We will get loans from the FED because we're too big to fail. We will then pay it back with money worth significantly less, of which you personally make a little bit less of every year by the way coincidentally.
Sorry, I don't make the rules
Honestly not sure why the USA banks haven't let the Government default, yet. It sort og shows they actually still have faith in the Trump administration.
Oh yes, they do have faith in Trump administration.
Europe could also let the USA bonds default...
Edit: apologies if the wording is not correct, I am not a financial expert or know too much about this topic. The point being, the dependency is there.
That harms USD Value not so much government operations, so in a roundabout way it actually makes the US Debt slightly less from a pure value perspective. The USA system is such: Government Deficit equates to Loans taken out from US Banks, meaning $38.876 Trillion USD is owed from USA Federal Government to the US Banks.
Meanwhile, more about bonds, between $2.3 and $3 Trillion USD worth of bonds gets issued inside and outside the USA every year for the past 30 years (bonds fulfill in either 15 to 30 years) so if every nation on earth (and their citizens) and the US Citizens suddenly traded in their bonds all at once then it could cause a lot of headaches for the US state but at the end of the day as long as US Banks are willing to loan them cash then it has infinite money.
No. Default is when the bond issuer doesn't pay interest.
The US government can let the bonds default by not paying. This can be by not issuing new debt (or getting the fed to print more money).

Also that the 3 manufacturers totally not doing price fixing, but reduce production for reasons...
Is that mobo generated? Never seen a cpu, memory, and pci lanes laid out like that, I’ve normally seen ram slots perpendicular to the lanes.
Pretty positive that it's AI generated. The markings are wobbly (like those random dots at the bottom of the ram) and the caps are pretty askew . Doesn't look like normal compression artifacts
Edit: also it seems there are two ram sticks but he's pinching both at the same time
The surface texture of the RAM is also a bit...weird.
Odd image regardless.
It could be a mini mobo they do weird stuff on small form factors

Congrats, you finally understand what a “bubble” is.
Congrats, you finally understand what a capitalism is.
And the #1 of a bubble is that the institutions of society will not allow it to crash in a way that harms those investors - just the rest of us. When the bubble pops, I doubt prices will go down or the excess supply will be for sale.
If they allow it to crash at all. They might artificially prop it up with government intervention, like they did in 2008-2010.
Agree. They would rather destroy working equipment instead of lowering the prices. Unless there is competition. So expect no price cuts from Nvidia. Everything else will be tried to sell to gain advantage.
destroy working equipment
Grapes of Wrath. Burning oranges rather than sell them cheap.
The ai cpu fins being perpendicular to the fan airflow is lol
I heard Noctua are experimenting with trickle down cooling. Leaked image?
Definitely not a bubble /s
That kind of a metaphor for the entire 21st Century American experience.
And meanwhile regular PC builders just want affordable RAM.
Should be 100% illegal
