Fuck ai
I bought the latest of some devices earlier this year, but didn’t have cash to buy a completely new PC. I’ve decided if my older desktop breaks, I’ll just have to get a “cheap” laptop & install Linux. Hopefully things stabilize within the next few years as manufacturers shift production.
Damn I’m sitting on 16gb of 7000mhz ram, I need to list it
Dang, 16GB of RAM is barely enough these days! I feel you though. Maybe you can list it and get some cash for that expensive upgrade.
Wonder if this is going to turn into people cutting out catalytic converters, or stripping out copper wiring.
So glad I upgraded before this shit got so crazy.
same,but DDR4
Man I’m so tired of these skyrocketing prices over everything. Memory, GPUs, car parts, groceries, insurance… fuck. Eating us alive.
RIP GabeCube 😢

I was literally looking prices to upgrade from 32 to 64GB last month. And i was, nah 120€ is too much, I’m ok for now. 320€ today and still climbing…
I talked myself out of upgrading to 64gb six months ago when I still could have grabbed 32gb of ddr4 for like $80… Kicking myself over that decision
Fuck AI. There is a use case for simple apps like chatgpt.
But, for most things you don’t need AI. Things like chat support for product/services, vibe coded app/website. Its all crap.
All the AI generated video
What was even used for the fake videos before AI? Blender? I legitimately don’t know and would like to know.
Yeah, AI video! Useless, we have humans we don’t need to burn resources on stupid.
The use case for those is doing what we could do on the internet 15 years ago ourselves but it has been so bastardised that it is too inconvenient now.

I agree, i dont use it for anything useful tho i only use it for entertainment purposes(Like generating stuff)
i usually dont publish or upload the ai generated stuff to the internet(maybe only another llm).
but i am trying to quit/use less AI
Memory prices are crazy. I bought 96GB of DDR5 6400Mhz sticks for $320 back in February. Now it’s $750.
I believe I paid around $60 for the equivalent in 2015 or so.
64Gb of DDR4 w/ fancy RGB lights in July 2025 for ~$160. Can’t imagine paying the current prices.
A couple of months ago I bought 148gb and it was fuck all
I saw a listing for 1340€ for 96gb. Prices are truly insane
Holy shit
Won’t someone pop this dastardly bubble? 🤬
I just hope that the power plants get built then AI collapses so we get cheap power.
I think companies would rather commit seppuku than producing cheap electricity.
I’d take the seppuku too, both preferably
Maybe the bubble pops you sooner. 😔
Boy am I happy I built my PC with 64 GB of DDR5 earlier this year. 😬
