Fuck those homeless/hungry/sick people I guess.
I wanted to replace my 2TB HDD with an SSD… but not for $400-$500.
Nvidia buying more of their own GPUs. Definitely not a bubble, just kind of circle shaped
Look, it’s simple. In capitalism it works like this:
Money = more money
Society = money
You = society
More society = more money
Society = more money
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I need a new screwdriver. Do you make screwdrivers?
Linus will sell you one for $80
So now that people are boycotting Open AI over their partnership with the US Department of Defense, will that extend to these corporations who are enabling Open AI and their bad policies?
Can someone that lies better than me start-up a fake AI Company that’s real purpose is to take all the memory and chips they have access to and sell them at a loss to normal people? Not only would the prices come down , but we’d be actively screwing over all these giant companies that invested.
For that matter, how much does it cost to start a RAM manufacturer?
Ballpark $100,000,000,000 and five years per factory.
Modern semiconductors are very complicated to produce.
A hundred billion? I don’t actually know, but that seems too high. I’ve worked as an automation engineer in a bunch of factories and know that you can get a fairly complex fairly large factory for 9 figures. I know semiconductors are complicated but so are a lot of things. I’d guess it’s closer to a billion depending on scale/size/location.
5 years to start up a factory is fast, but doable.
This came from looking up how much people are currently spending to build a ram fab. It’s worth remembering that the tools used are very complex and are also impacted by the massive spike in semiconductor prices.
They’re quite literally making some of the most complicated and intricate things on the planet.
The vast majority of the cost is tools, and when the price of those spikes due to shortage the cost goes up insanely fast.Cost estimates from even a just a few years ago have the cost being $10 to $20 billion.
What could it cost…$10?
I hope that dude chokes on his own puke and dies.
Maybe they are making it harder for us to get ram just to prevent us from running llms on our own hardware.
Sometimes smart thoughts chasing us are so fast that we can’t escape them.
Yes.
We could build hundreds of thousands of homes for families that need them, but it goes to stealing water, power, and land instead.
Art, too, of course, none of it actually works without that.
The underlying message: We want to replace as many of you disgusting human workers as possible.
In five years, an unemployment rate of under 5% will be an historical anomaly. Double digit unemployment rates will be normal, permanent, and accepted.
Unemployment, homelessness, and debt will be illegal, and those who have committed those crimes, or require government assistance for food, housing, health care, etc., will be housed in the detainment centers, and leased out to corporations as slave labor, under the 13th Amendment.
Of course, that will increase unemployment even more, creating even more slave workers. Eventually we will have more unemployed slave workers than corporations require (they still prefer AI and robotic workers), and then the MAGA government will be faced with a permanent surplus of unemployable people in the camps, eating, getting sick, reproducing, spreading rumors, plotting escapes and uprisings, etc.
What are they going to do with all those excess useless people they despise? I wonder what Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller would suggest?
I would just kill myself tbh.
just the three biggest companies sinking $110 billion into a company that’s never made a profit what bubble
and that’s just the teeny-tiny tip of the economic circle jerk that’s going on.
Last October I built a new PC for the first time in a solid decade. My aging Intel 6700k has served me well. I had no idea of the missile barrage that I dodged by upgrading when I did.
I was shopping for laptop ram recently, it was like a turd fight in a shitstorm. Eventually decided to make do with what I have.
Lucked out and got some to fill my empty slots for about the same I paid when I built the PC a year or so earlier. All the same, fuck this timeline.
This confirms me that anyone with a cute anime avatar is a huge weirdo. It doesn’t even look like him.
110 billion more pumped into a company with no sustainable business model in sight 🫧
Nope, it’s a 110 billion IOU…there is no money being passed around. That’s why when this pops. It’s gonna be grizzly.
at first its a pimple, but now its a boil, and growing to a bigger infection, once it pops it will reach the bloodstream.
$110b pumped into a company that’s literally never made a cent.
OpenAI has made revenue.
It hasn’t made profit.
“🤓☝️” everyone knows what they mean
OpenAI literally makes billions of dollars.
Yes they do, but when someone says “thats never made a cent” they dont mean revenue, they mean profit and everyone can understand that they mean profit so there’s no need to point put that revenue ≠ profit.
when someone says “thats never made a cent” they dont mean revenue, they mean profit
No. The statement is ambiguous. I provided clarification.
A counter example to prove my point. No-one claims that Uber has never made a cent.

I think the AI porn market might go somewhere. The internet is for porn after all.
I mean, Grok IS the world’s largest source of CSAM, after all, and we know how much Republicans love that.
And also all the military contracts that Anthropic will no longer take
How much more will DoD pump into it now?
the hype is the business. scams can be business models.
