It’s definitely the latter. These are writing contracts to buy hardware that has yet to be produced for data centres that haven’t been built. All so they can satisfy a demand that doesn’t yet exist for a product no one is going to be willing to pay for.

It will crash. This whole grift is too expensive to keep going. The naysayers keep forgetting that hardware gets old, it wears out and fails, and gets superseded by newer models. The chip makers are riding high now because the idiotic belief of the market is that this will keep growing as the data centres keep being built and the AI companies will keep buying new hardware.

It just can’t. This candle is burning fast at both ends.

They want you to believe that it isn’t a thing but they also know it is a thing and definitely have internal documents and conversations talking about how to get more people addicted.

Fucking hope they die.

Right, I also like paying to not know what the heck is going on in the code I maintain.

Yes. I think it’s like $20 a month.

Edit: LMAO so I was fuck-off wrong. It’s $10, $30, and $280 per month. At least in my currency (Swedish Crowns).

Don’t use the stochastic parrot, and definitely don’t fucking shell out 280 a month for it. Holy fuck.

Wow. That’s some shit luck, and I definitely get why you’d choose to not have one.

I think a lot of people in the west are kind of sleeping on the capabilities of microwaves. They’re fantastic.

That’s not an endorsement of AI.

Have two friends who both lost access to their discord accounts. One via leaked credentials and the other because their mail service shut down and fixing that would’ve involved flying to a different country (lmao). Both paid for the higher tier Nitro plan, and had been doing so for years.

Neither got access to their accounts back.

Both opened new accounts and started paying for Nitro again.

Owncast?

Even their forum-esque feature really sucks. You can’t easily navigate within it, and it’s an endlessly scrolling feed rather than a paginated one, so good luck if you need access to a specific portion of a particularly long thread.

I’ve been waiting for Discord to die for years now.

I’ve been complaining about this for years. Hope we’re finally starting to see the end of it.

Dude, I’ll trade my NVidia for an AMD card any day. Every time something goes wrong with my computer, the culprit is NVidia fucking things up. I’m sick of them.

I was sure their focus was already on AI. Bought an Arc a770 when I first built my PC. It was alright, but the gaming aspect had a lot of flaws.

Each driver update had some improvements, but the bulk of it felt like AI bullshit.

Show me the adverts that GNOME or the KDE project pushes. How do I block ads in my Linux kernel? Where are the ffmpeg adverts? What about the curl ads? Where do you go about finding adverts in LibreOffice? I’ve never seen any ads in nginx, but maybe I’ve missed them.

There’s so much free software out there.

Mozilla gets money, they can also apply for funding if things get that tight. Given that they’re pouring money into useless projects no one has ever asked for, that’s widely unpopular and has lost them a tonne of goodwill among their userbase, I don’t think money is a massive problem for them.

Like literally everything that evil waste of air does.

Don’t think the goal is to get something functional, but to get money for it. The hardware would become outdated in short order even if you could overcome the heating issue.

He will just raise money in this grift and then run away with it, like literally every other grift he’s ever done. He’s never cared about it being realistic. Note the extreme lack of people on both the moon and mars, despite his promises of a colony in the early 202Xs. Note how his cars still don’t have FSD.

He’s just a liar.

I can believe.

If it’s a matter of quantity over quality, LLMs are fantastic at that. I can totally see them bloating the codebase by letting loose a few LLMs and have them do whatever.

So it’s like a boring version of the subsimulator subreddit?

It’s not like Bethesda couldn’t afford to hire Nordic voice actors. They just chose not to do so.

The best Swedish accent I’ve heard was the Russian gangster father of Alfie Allen in the first John Wick film. Makes sense given that the actor, Michael Nyqvist was Swedish.

Skyrim’s NPCs sound and act like they’ve been lobotomised.
