And meanwhile regular PC builders just want affordable RAM.

The ai cpu fins being perpendicular to the fan airflow is lol
I heard Noctua are experimenting with trickle down cooling. Leaked image?
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.
Yes, there's a lot of AI users, who either hate how corpos use it (sometimes arguing that corpos are responsible for the slop problem), while others are trolling by replacing images in anti-AI memes with AI generated ones, often as an attempt to normalize their use.
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 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.
*since they orchestrated it on Little Saint James Island...

Also that the 3 manufacturers totally not doing price fixing, but reduce production for reasons...
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.
The article that came out about Win12 was retracted for being completely fabricated, due to what appears to be a mistake in translation (possibly involving an AI translator) from German to English.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.

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.

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.

That kind of a metaphor for the entire 21st Century American experience.
