This is why i’m building a server with a DDR3/Phenom II motherboard.
CPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company

I have 96GB of ECC DDR3 laying around with nothing to put it in. I should find some low-power hardware that will take it.

“96GB of DDR3” will never really be “low power”, take it from a guy who built a homelab with a DDR3 machines a while ago…but you should still pick up whatever hardware you can as soon as you can. Like, seriously, they’re taking personal computing away from us.

No chipsets from that era that handle 96GB are going to be affordable to run - unless you’ve got excess solar or something.

I’ve had the motherboard sitting around collecting dust for awhile. I was looking into buying a NAS until I realized it was a ripoff. Figured why not build a system around POS from 2011.

Man I’m so happy I barely game anymore and my home server was rebuilt 2 years ago, hopefully it doesn’t crap out anytime soon 🤞

I started building my first server last year, I only need two more 8TB drives to complete my raid ambition

Every day, I grow more eager for the inevitable crash of the AI market. Sora getting killed seems like a good portent.

The endless promotion of AI by virtually all tech company CEOs and shareholders, to me, is the most definitive proof that the rich would rather burn it all down than give any compensation, respect and decency to the working class.

Thats the whole point. They are so immensely rich, they could fix most of the world’s and its people’s problems fairly quickly, and still be rich enough to continue to live in unbridled luxury and splendor, while the population would be mostly happy and content with the system. But apparently money is addictive and so they would rather ruin the world and societies by promoting a shit into fascism than give up even a sliver.

Good luck, with Hormuz closed most of Asia’s LNG shipments are blocked (which TSMC relies heavily on), plus other crucial chemicals for the chip making process like helium

I’m skeptical about Sora getting killed. I think it’s very plausible that they just privated their model for internal use by the US gov. Sure, it’s one less power hungry AI video generator, but there are multiple of those available already, I don’t think it’s the win most people think it is.

I’ve been listening for this inevitable crash for some time now, but nothing yet. Crossing fingers. Eventually we will all need CPUs, disks, RAM etc.

The crash will come at some point, but based on the last decade, crypto boom, covid, just greed, now AI. Some new bullshit comes and jacks up the prices even more.
Call me a doomer, but the market is permanently messed up. It will not recover as long as some new player, maybe China, will enter the market.

Could happen tomorrow, could happen in a year or two. Stay tuned for more updates on the ongoing shit show.

And I feel like this war with Iran will just accelerate it. Lots of AI investment come from Arab countries, right? The ones who are suffering the damage from the war that Israel started because of their alliances.
