"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I really should sell all the optiplexes I have instead of recycling them. I bet I could make some ok money.
I bought a HP ProDesk 400 G5 Desktop Mini (16GB RAM; 256GB ssd; Intel Core i5-9500T) in December 2025 for £105 delivered.
There's money to be made.
I think you’re right
I have about 24 to get rid of…
Definitely don't throw those away! There are plenty of people who will be happy to get one. In the current climate, these things are a precious resource.
I'll try to avoid doing that. Technically it's all work property, but I think I can work something out.
You're about to send 24 nerds down the unescapable rabbit hole of self-hosting
😵💫😲
Tell me you didn't collect them over time
I inherited them from the previous IT crew at work. Basically they've been sitting there since before I started.
I also have about 100 HP laptops that need to be gotten rid of, G5s and G6s.
Time to set up an eBay account 😁
What are the specs?
