  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.

  • Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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

      The surface texture if the RAM is also a bit…weird.

      Odd image regardless.

    It could be a mini mobo they do weird stuff on small form factors

  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.

      That’s the problem, too many real humans on Facebook. With more RAM Zuck can achieve its goal of an ideal community of bots endlessly commenting on their own material. A glorious utopia powered by silicon rather than carbon, and like Zuck itself, feigning the existence of emotions it cannot comprehend. Soulless lucidity.

  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.

  • Blackfeathr@lemmy.world ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The article that came out about Win12 was retracted for being completely fabricated, due to what appears to be a mistake in translation (possibly involving an AI translator) from German to English.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.

    “AI Booted” in the same way a car can get booted, eh? That describes it quite elegantly.

    What does AI-booted mean? The boot process is deterministic. Why does it need AI?

    I don’t want my bootloader to be creative or generate novel outputs. I want it to boot quickly, reliably, and the same way every time unless I change something I probably wasn’t supposed to.

    What part of that could AI even be conceivably inserted into?

      It means the developer let Claude write some slop and then went home early to play with their kids. He’s not a chump like Linus working all weekend to make things right.

  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! 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.

      Europe could also let the USA bonds default…

      If the US defaults, America as an empire collapses. It could be as small a deal as a massive period of restructuring, or it could mean the death of billions and the end of modern life

      It sure as hell won’t be a better world for the banks though, they’ll invent new types of math to keep the game going a little longer

    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.

      Agree. They would rather destroy working equipment instead of lowering the prices. Unless there is competition. So expect no price cuts from Nvidia. Everything else will be tried to sell to gain advantage.

  Idk man, my electricity bill doesn’t care whether the data center powering ChatGPT was “speculatively built” or not. 500 million people actively using these tools daily is not fake demand, that’s just… demand. The money flowing into infrastructure is large and fast and messy, sure, but acting like the entire thing is vapor because the ROI timeline is uncertain is the same logic people used to say Amazon was a scam in 2001. Sometimes the buildout comes before the profit model and that’s just how new infrastructure works. The RAM price sucks though, not gonna lie.

    Electricity bills have already been increasing heavily around AI datacenters. I read an article about a place in the Netherlands where they can’t build any more houses at the moment because they’re building a datacenter that is going to take that electricity.

    source

    • mechoman444@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The data centers are insane. I agree. A flagship LLM model requires 1tb of ram to perform. A Mid-Tier mm model needs 140gb. In contrast a top end gaming rig only needs 64gb at most. The vast majority get away with 16gb.

      Aside for driving profits for demand of LLM use these data centers are an environmental disaster.

      I was just pointing out these centers are a result of that demand.
