Comment on Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western Digital

Wait til all these projects crash, burn, and get liquidated. Gonna be an amazing secondary market for brand new, unused bulk hardware.
Yes, of course
Except, i doubt anyone will be doing much with a 32 code Xenon CPU Windows snobs cant even run Windows on without a super giga 1000€ license for more than 16 Core CPUs
And the cuda only fanless and outputless GPU will also be kinda useless, especially because they all need a special setup to force feed air through the entire rack to not overheat
a super giga 1000€ license for more than 16 Core CPUs
Year of the Linux Desktop! Any day now… any day… huffs copium
I mean it’s 64/128/256 cores for home/pro/workstation so not really. People buying aftermarket server parts that want windows can probably figure out how to type irm https://get.activated.win/ | iex if they don’t want to pay for it anyways lol.

I’m not using Windows servers at home but if I did then a license wouldn’t be a factor when deciding what hardware to buy.
And on top: ROK ISOs by hardware vendors by HPE (and probably lenovo) don’t have the trial time limit and can be run indefinitely without a license.
You only need to satisfy the requirement of running a supported motherboard during boot of the iso.
Well…Too bad that I can (unlike in ESXi) modify the manufacturer string in proxmox to say whatever I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Could you point me to more info about that?
You clearly have a very restricted imagination about what ideas people could come up to use such hardware…
Not really. They’re not making consumer grade stuff, they’re making hardware for data centers so unless you’re planning on doing a DIY data center you’re not buying the hardware. Hard drives are likely an exception.
You’re more likely to see cheap VPS services than cheap secondhand hardware.
I’ve watched enough Bringus to know that anything can be used for gaming if you’re stubborn enough.
Oh absolutely, but I doubt anyone is paying the equivalent of a 5090 to get the performance of a 3060. Server GPU-s aren’t optimized for gaming.
Sure but that will only be in the immediate, especially as the manufacturers rush to trying to produce consumer and industry shit once the AIomey cow goes bust. There’ll be an immediate rush of these things being sold 5090 prices only to drop down to 1090 or lower prices once they start liquidating stock to write off and the scrappers start selling these things for pennies on the dollar.
I don’t know many people buy used server and JBODs. I wouldn’t say that consumers don’t buy them.
Being in the self-hosted community I know people buy used enterprise servers to set up their own services, but consumers who buy enterprise servers probably make up less than 1% of all the consumers who buy hardware.
God, I hope so…

But you won’t be able to afford it because the market crash means you lose your job.

I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Don’t you worry it’s gonna have a global impact againjudt like it did in 08. Imagine losing your job in Italy for instance cause some bankers got ultra rich in the US. What a dumb fucking world.

I don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.
dubyakay@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I didn’t feel anything of it in Europe.
unphazed@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Ha! Jokes on you. My state is so poor it was the least affected by the 2008 crisis. Wait, that still sucks, only more…

I’ve lived though several “one in a live time” crashes.
hansolo@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Meh, not really a full collapse. Just like 75% of it and a huuuuge recession. Or maybe a “Tiny Depression”? Basically, 10 years to recover. Which is where we’re going anyway, with out without AI.
relativestranger@feddit.nl 3 weeks ago
10 years on top of the generations to recover from economic and social policy being shat out by a deranged geriatric.

And if AI doesn’t fail, people will be unemployed.
OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Yep, either way, your job is toast.
AI succeeds: AI takes your job.
AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
It’s not if but when. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And you’re a fool if you think the implications won’t be felt around the world. Just like they were when Americans rammed the housing market into the ground. We live in a global economy.

That would be awesome thank you

Fine.
The market is a joke, needs massive corrections.
