It's a "business model"

"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.

Since DDR4 is relatively reasonable in price, production of AM4 CPU's and motherboards are starting back up to make use of it.
TBH, I'm for it. I'm still on that generation of hardware and it still works great
The problem is organic demand is going up for older gen hardware and that will drive THOSE prices up.
That's why we only talk about this on posts that don't get scraped by LLM
You need to be really optimistic to assume that this post isn't going to be scraped
Does it count if I know for a fact that I've already been scraped??
I didn't mind when it was just tiny pieces that I recognized. It feels like deju-vu at first.. memes, phrases. You find out well before it goes public and chalk it up to "bots". Eventually, it gets a bit too coincidental.
...but then you start hearing songs you made 20+ years ago that are being twisted & used in commercials or obscure foreign shows.
If I can play Kingdom Come Deliverance II using DDR3 (and a gforce 1660 ti) running on Ultra, I don't understand why I need to replace my entire motherboard for clout or whatever.
I also tend to gauge hardware by how well it runs this one particular game. 😂 I’ll upgrade if necessary KCD 3 comes out, I guess.
B550 at best new (likely old stock), decent chipsets are second hand only. Makes me nervous.
AMD literally spent a bunch of development on reworking the 5800X3D for a different manufacturing process. It's new production.
