I initially built for future proofing. I also wanted to have enough to run science apps like BOINC distributed science computing which I have been running since my Phantom II machine, 4K games, and now slightly dabble with local AI models. I would like to learn video editing some day as well.

I got right at the top end of AM4 and before all this RAM shortage craziness went down. Prices were just starting to go up so it was a bit to hedge too. I know 32GB is more than enough. I debate at times to take out 2 sticks (4x16GB) in case some ram goes bad, or slight performace boost, now that DDR4 is mostly outdated and good luck finding any for a reasonable price.

It's starting to.

torvalds-nvidia $2.5 is only half of Nvidia - ONE of the tech stonks which NVIDIA alone could still tank that whole thing and be one of the most overvalued pieces of planetary shit in existance. There's a lot more to go for a crash.

I think this is just the breakers hitting. Usually when a bubble pops it hits broad sectors, banks start "collapsing" aka being bought out, Christmas Mass...layoffs, strip malls stripped.

Every crash they take something away. 3rd spaces. Healthcare. Pensions. Affordable housing. Food.

Some other evil racket magically pops up overnight like it was waiting for an entry point. Companies you never heard of. In a way ot heard of to avoid oversight. Then the larger companies start buying up the casualties to maintain their monopoly relevance (it's just more debt being funneled around). That's probably where all the IP gets sucked up i to Souper 'intel' - BAD I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.N.C.E

Instant billionaires are made out of "buying" spree but again it's just repackaged debt. Those tariffs might go, but the inflation from the worth-lessness of the dollar from the debt bomb replaces it. So everything is 20% more expensive - overnight forever.

Us Xilennials know it well. 2001, 2008/9, 2014, 2019, 2026 now. It's why we could never get ahead. Every step up was two blows back. Now the Zoomers know it right as they are getting out of high school and college.

We have to stop survailence crapitallism. They want to cradle-to-grave minority report manipulative pre-crime!

This making AI part-public and shoving dividends is a poison trap. It is tied into the survailence Crapitalism and military industrial complex. Meaning holding them accountable is going to be an attack on public funds and what they are used for (Constitutional violations, genocide, MIC, red lining type discrimatory scheemes) Be it some privatized social security, voucher education, social score basic income ect. Cradle to grave control against dissent. WHY YOU NO TATTOO?!

China is doing AI pretty cool. Their goals are different than the west. I hope they use AI to find aliens. Seriously use it to do space crunching. BOINC was a good start. Which is why most of the if we don't then China will is a bunch of bullshit. China's progress is one already decades ahead of us, two used for collective good, three China isn't going to do shit to me as an individual over here and vice versa. They could care less. However

Porky got shook. Proky wants to always win and not be shook again.

I am firmly convinced we are going to be a cross of Idiocracy and Demoliton Man with Minority Report characteristics. So think the most absurd parts of those and reality will probably be worse or not far off. At least brace for impact.

PSL is Foxworthy posting.

if it works, it works I suppose.

Looks very trippy. Cool place.

Jesus christ these morons are dull as fuck. We're real people please believe us.

C O M P U T E = MONEY EFFICIENCY=MONEY

Early days of net people do cool stuff. Maybe I have a different memory of how we thought the early net was for everyone and human knowledge and creativity would be unleashed instead of hounded to the point where it was criminalized.

Sams constipated voice and manurisms. It's like existing is trying to squeeze out a shit for him. I got the feeling this is the mask he puts on for public where 100% of his efforts is to restrain his true sociopathic self.

Stripe boy is equally insufferable. Fuck the unions and people who actually come up with the solutions we plug into the machines. We're breaking things. But no one should not break it and this is what we're doing.

Sociopathic therapy?

Thank you for your service.

If Bibi is finally forced to sit in his kangaroo court there might be some cathartic victory in that, but we know nothing will change from the Zionazi regime. We know is a deeply ruined society and there is endless Zionazis ready to continuenboowing everything around them up.

Interesting the article adds a at the end. Was this lunatic inspired by perhaps?
