          Nah. Fuck IP raiders. There’s nothing wrong with GAN. There’s nothing wrong with LLM. There’s nothing wrong with gradient descent. There’s nothing wrong with diffusion models. There’s nothing wrong with markov chains, with expert systems, with fuzzy logic, with PROLOG. Not on a moral or ethical level, for certain.

              Just, like, all of it. No more practicing chess against a computer. No more computer vision. No more single player Street Fighter. Fuck it all. It’s inherently evil, we’ve decided for some reason. Clearly a nuanced and well researched position.

                Ok firebrand. We all know what we mean by AI when it is spoken in conversation. It is shorthand for generative AI. If you want to be patronizing and pedantic, that’s on you. We normal folks use shorthand and understand each other. Fuck AI.

                  That’s why I initially brought up all those forms of AI that are perfectly fucking fine. But you’re like, NOPE. So don’t throw that in MY face. Perhaps you didn’t understand what I was saying. But you were STILL like, NOPE. Which leads me to believe YOU don’t even know what you mean when you say, “AI”. “Generative AI” isn’t a specific thing. It’s any software that outputs something a human might consume as content. You just mean, “bad shit I don’t understand” I suppose.

                  The problem is not the technology, it is that entrenched capitalists are leveraging their wealth and power to steal culture from all of us, and cynical investors engaging in the largest pump and dump in history. And if you can’t make that distinction, your voice doesn’t have a damn thing to contribute to this conversation other than “Naw, fuck AI.”

                  I’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of moral panics and it’s not okay. Naw, fuck pearl clutchers.

                Anti-ai bots are literally bots (ironic) or otherwise children/idiots who think in memes instead of rationally.

    Any bets on the DRAM makers getting so excited over this and having felt left out of the stupid graphics card pricing, that they put the world into a perpetual DRAM shortage and this is just the new norm.

    At first I was thinking, “WTF, why did the prices shoot up so high?” And then I looked up how much I spent on 32GB of RAM rated for the same speeds back in 2022: Three Hundred Fucking Dollars. The price didn’t shoot up; it never went down!

      For larger RAM chips if went up - sometimes more than double - in half a year. I can literally look at the RAM I purchased in June and it’s more than twice that price now
