Urgh, I couldn't even get through the whole article, it's too disgusting. What a surprise that yet another "no politics at work"-guy turns out to support fascism!

You'll have to endlessly scroll Amazon and decide whether to buy the identical product from brand YDAKVKR or BNRTGRIV, reading ALL the fake reviews.

At least we're going to get some pretty neat looking cooling systems!

If this bubble takes off, looking forward to the heights they will go to regarding that.

Is there already a word for "an industry which has removed itself from reality and will collapse when the public's suspension of disbelief fades away"?

Calling this just "a bubble" doesn't cut it anymore, they're just peddling sci-fi ideas now. (Metaverse was a bubble, and it was stupid as hell, but at least those headsets and the legless avatars existed.)

So money moves in a circle between Cursor and AI model companies, while still generating costs far higher than what users pay. How is this going to help with anything, regarding finances.

Considering other life might also be unattractive as it could reduce the feeling of their own importance.

Can you recommend any resources on those topics?

Well you have to assume they need $29 million alone for humans doing color correction to make it less yellow

Sigh. Love how he claims it's worth it for "learning"...

We already have a thing for learning, it's called "books", and if you want to learn compiler basics, $14000 could buy you hundreds of copies of the dragon book.

Fascinating how that product page is full of marketing fluff, but nowhere does it say what this actually is...? What does it do? It's some kind of.... memory expansion? But what's beneath the big heatsink then? All they say is that it's somehow amazing:

In the age of local AI, GIGABYTE AI TOP is the all-round solution to win advantages ahead of traditional AI training methods. It features a variety of groundbreaking technologies that can be easily adapted by beginners or experts, for most common open-source LLMs, in anyplace even on your desk.
