    How AI will fail

    I think we are just getting started with AI. I think the problem is the expectations. Will AI replace jobs. Absolutely. Will it create new jobs? Yes too. Will it be a one size fits all shoe for productivity and labor? Absolutely not. If anything, AI puts large companies at risk. With...

    What have I said that is untrue?

    Then I will say it plainly. You are being sensational and entitled. There are plenty of affordable options out there, and all run cloud based LLMs just fine. There are also plenty of options for under 1k that can do local LLMs and gaming just fine. You just want pro performance for a budget...

    And? Takes money to make money. 128gb is not consumer level. It is what it is, because it is a competitive in demand market. It won't always be like that, but atm, high-end large capacity ram is an investment, not a hobby. There are a lot of ways to run local LLMs for cheap, and there are...

    How? By recounting the highs and lows of the computer market over the years? By implying 32gb of ram for 300 dollars is better than out of stock video cards, or them being 2x the price from scalpers? Then there is Thailand floods, Taiwan earthquakes, and other events that have impacted prices...

    Yeah, and video cards had been unfindable before that. The fact is, computing has become even more essential to business, and it is only expanding. I hate to say it, but the writing was on the wall a few months ago. People waiting for computer part prices to go down, in a market that is...

    I think they were referring to cloud based LLMs. Outside of high-end enthusiast computing, midrange is still affordable, as you do not need 64gb, even running local models. https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-bd895i-se-motherboard?variant=47812059922677 mobo and cpu for $295...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    For SOCs and MODT pcs, things are also a little different. The process for making an SOC is basically the same as a laptop, minus a bunch of parts and cost associated with them.

    Majority of CEOs Report Zero Payoff From AI Splurge

    In my opinion, I think AI could be the equalizer for small businesses. If smaller businesses start to shift market share, larger companies will have to adapt, and I see that adaptation being a downward spiral more than upward movement.

    It really depends on the cost. If they can get the base model to 600 or below, I think it will be worth it. If you don't have to have max everything, and can play a game without fomo, I think the steam machine will be a great entry point for a lot of people. We have years and years of games...

    I live 2 miles from my towns cable provider, but couldn't get internet because of leasing issues with utility poles. Public education has tanked. Medicaid and Medicare are abused and are part of poverty traps. Interstate systems? It is cheaper to build new roads, than it is to fix existing...

    Abstracting can be a bit dissociative. People applying for citizenship are also held to a higher standard. By applying higher standards, one could assume an equal or higher standard of living than country of origin. We are a prop, but for everyone but the people that make the country go...

    Is that to do with living in Europe, or the type of person that can afford to move from Europe? This is why I hate metrics and their use. Some things that metrics are used for can be attributed to other causations, but get used in politics all of the time to gaslight. While some metrics are...
