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 17 points 2 months 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The article that came out about Win12 was retracted for being completely fabricated, due to what appears to be a mistake in translation (possibly involving an AI translator) from German to English.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.

As proud as we are, Lemmy isn't immune from the misinformation epidemic. My experience is we just drive by, upvote, and internalize a headline's claim without much skepticism, kind of like Reddit, and we largely don't seem to want to do anything about it.

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

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

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?

"Initializing gobbledygook— not just a process, but a the first of many processes which will activate in sequence to bring your computer from powered-down to ready-to-use! Beep boop."

What, don't you want a boot process that offers a different surprise every day?

[-] Viceversa@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

For that you should choose Arch

Windows does that already.

What does AI-booted mean?

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.

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.

Its evwr since Facebook. Facebook destroyed the world. And people are still using meta.

[-] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Man_kind@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Meta is a brainwash company. Its platforms are weapons.

[-] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

I’d argue the opposite. Meta caters to the kinds of people that want to believe in a specific worldview. It didn’t brainwash people into becoming bigots, racists, misogynists, fascists, and haters, it just gave them a platform where they could say things in a curated social circle and not suffer the consequences that might occur if they said it in public. Gradually they realized there were a lot like them in the world and networked. The worst of them banded together and became real world threats like Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, but the vast majority still won’t take the risk and don’t do anything other than vote for candidates who promise to make their online fantasy a real one. New medium, same bigotry that has always existed in America. If social media disappeared today it wouldn’t prevent haters from hating, it would at best simmer it until they found a new means of connecting because now they know their vitriol is shared by many.

[-] Man_kind@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

You're wrong. Many people are impressionable. Some are not. Those that are, the algorithm knows who they are. Especially young people. So it shows them things to brainwash them with. Make them think some groups are bad people, by what they show them. The people they know this won't work with, they just show them what they want to see, and let that bounce around their echo chamber.

But they wont let certain things be seen by the people they are successfully brainwashing.

Musk didnt spend 44 billion to buy twitter for no reason. Paramount isn't in a mountain of debt because brainwashing doesnt work.

Everyone on instagram is being brainwashed. But also being shown what they want to see, and given the illusion they are seeing everything they want to see. Its a trick. Its effective. People are fucking stupid to use the psyops weapons maga controls.

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, gentle proles! 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

Also that the 3 manufacturers totally not doing price fixing, but reduce production for reasons...

The ai cpu fins being perpendicular to the fan airflow is lol

[-] HereIAm@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I heard Noctua are experimenting with trickle down cooling. Leaked image?

[-] thehairguy@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

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 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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

Edit: also it seems there are two ram sticks but he's pinching both at the same time

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The surface texture of the RAM is also a bit...weird.

Odd image regardless.

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, there's a lot of AI users, who either hate how corpos use it (sometimes arguing that corpos are responsible for the slop problem), while others are trolling by replacing images in anti-AI memes with AI generated ones, often as an attempt to normalize their use.

[-] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago

Congrats, you finally understand what a “bubble” is.

[-] smeg@infosec.pub 11 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

destroy working equipment

Grapes of Wrath. Burning oranges rather than sell them cheap.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

This image is AI slop. OP, you are the problem.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I didn't know that when posting as the text was what I wanted to share. I censored the offensive material. Happy now?

[-] BigTurkeyLove@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Definitely not a bubble /s

[-] Abbysimons@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

And meanwhile regular PC builders just want affordable RAM.

[-] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 months ago

They bought up the infrastructure to kill competition.
