At least in 3 to 5 years the used market will be crazy. It might be the path to finally replacing all my HDDs for media storage with cheap SSDs.

How long before Data Centers start building furnaces and just throwing things we need directly into the fires and claim it’s in the name of progress?

This is like the toilet paper rush during covid. There was no problem, but the hint of a possible problem caused the actual problem.

So when do we get to watch two AI startups go IRL deathmatch for a truckload of SSDs?

What’s the end game here? If you make it impossible for normal people to buy a computer how are they even supposed to access that ‚amazing‘ AI you built that datacenter for?

Surprised nobody has raided them yet.

“now hoarding”
No, just look at Scamdisk’s pricing for their 4TB SSDs. They have been at the 4-figure price for a couple of weeks now.

I’ve yet to meet someone who says “AI” LLMs have improved their life. The closest I’ve heard is it makes brainstorming a random thing easier.
So stupid and wasteful.

Fuck ai and fuck data centers I am tired of this crap. The pc I built two years ago would cost double if I were to build it today. I hope people start rejecting their useless ai and these companies crash and burn

Well I’ve been procrastinating PC upgrades and laptop repairs, guess I still won’t get them done any time soon.

So weird that the world is fine throwing away tons of clothes and appliances, but can’t ever delete anything from the internet. We made the wrong stuff permanent.

Next they will hoard micro SD card? Then DVD? Then CD? Then flop disk? Then magnetic stripes? Then pen+paper?

Oh, I thought they were panic buying HDDs because they ran out of SSDs.

You life is going to be a series of $x.xx/mo subscriptions for everything. Want water? That $299.99/mo.

This sucks for me. I had 2 drives fail this year and the prices are absurd.

The one good thing about this is that Call of Duty will have to shrink it’s install size 🤣 otherwise it’s not going to fit on any computers

Huh… the pc market walked so Sam Altman could run.
I hate it.

Good, let AI companies hold the bag. They’ll have to fire sale all this shit when their inevitable bankruptcy comes.

Any HDD or RAM manufacturer that doesn’t follow it’s competitors down the AI pathway and stays committed to the consumer market will have my business for life.

Struggling to find SSDs for our servers raid array that is degraded, all there is are cheap DRAM-less SSDs that suck. What a time to be alive.

They’re going to start selling ultra-cheap mini-pcs that are designed to only connect to servers where all of your data is stored. Then you’ll pay a subscription to use your computer.

Toilet paper shortage.

AI just sucks up everything
Thanks?
