Buying chips that haven’t been made with money that hasn’t been loaned, using chips that haven’t been made and users who haven’t paid as collateral.

For datacenters thst haven't been built with power that doesn't exist on land that isn't owned.

This is all a scam and money laundering/stock manipulation

While completely murdering the home PC market. When the AI bubble pops get ready for desktop as a service as those datacenters get repurposed.

They can't. It's too specialized, and those hyperscalar datacenters are too inefficient

Assloads of ram, and GPU is exactly what you need if you are going to run graphical applications, encode them, and stream the results to the withered remains of desktop/laptop hardware.

These gpus are so specialized they Don't Really resemble the ones he's sticking your desktop, the name is almost vestigial. Game streaming services don't use the same hardware and they've also proven to be commercial failures every time it's been attempted

Buying chips that haven’t been made from a factory that hasn't been built

This is the correct reply.

It's like the industry looked at what Madoff did and said "what if we did this to the entire economy?". Never ever try to convince me that there's anything as insatiable and destructive as corporate greed...

It's about stopping the competition from having dies with pretend money from investments that won't happen to serve customers that don't exist. It's travesty and another nail in the US coffin.

But like are we both sideways? Or just one of us? Rather than the tip, do you want the dick width way? If so my complements to your flexible orifice!

Improvise. The CEOs don't hesitate when deciding how to fuck us next.

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago

We are cooked.

How do these tech comapnies keep ramming us in the ass when there's supposed to be a memory shortage?

Because fuck you, I want those extra pennies for my next yacht, that's why - almost every CEO and investor on the planet, probably.
