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.

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The article that came out about Win12 was retracted for being completely fabricated, due to what appears to be a mistake in translation (possibly involving an AI translator) from German to English.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

[-] Draegur@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 days ago

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

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days 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."

[-] mcv@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Viceversa@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

For that you should choose Arch

Step 1 of becoming an AI Bro: Don't let existing, battle-tested solutions stop your new shiny ✨AI powered✨ "solution"

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

What you don't understand is they paid a lot of money to develop AI so they're damn well going to use it for everything.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

They gotta convince the shareholders that investing so much in AI wasn't a completely idiotic idea. Especially when the majority of those investments are going to LLMs and other genAI, when the most tangible benefits will come from machine learning's effects on R&D and data analysis...

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] SCmSTR 14 points 4 days ago

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

[-] HereIAm@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

[-] Abbysimons@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

And meanwhile regular PC builders just want affordable RAM.

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 20 points 4 days ago

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

[-] thehairguy@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 days 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 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

Odd image regardless.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days 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.

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

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

[-] smeg@infosec.pub 11 points 4 days 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 4 days 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 4 days ago

destroy working equipment

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

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

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

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

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

[-] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago

Happy now?

I doubt it

[-] BigTurkeyLove@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

Definitely not a bubble /s
