AI don't trust techbros

Christ... I've got two crucials in my system right. Had three in the last one... how did I not know this was happening?
If this leads to software developers no longer acting like we all have infinite RAM, I will accept that as a consolation.
You called it. Screw PC hobbyists, digital artists, gamers, and so on. With cloud-computing already being a thing, this will just push more people into that realm because how dare we, as filthy proles, own our own PCs.
I was watching this unfold a bit on reddit yesterday, and this was one of the comments that stood out:
I'm pretty irritated with myself for not thinking to upgrade my PCs RAM months ago. It's not a huge deal right now, because my rig runs just fine and thus I didn't prioritize future-proofing my system a bit more, and now I've pretty effectively been priced out of RAM for the foreseeable future. I should probably try to grab another SSD and another M.2 ASAP. I'd do it now, but I still have to pay to go pick up my cat's ashes.
Hugging techbros.

Well, it was good while it lasted. I guess home users will just have to be happy with Commodores again.
Ha, wait until you find out about the smeghead who bought Commodore this year. Dude's not a billionaire tech-bro but he's got the attitude down pat, promising to singlehandedly turn back the clock on the entire tech industry while also using AI slop in his videos.
Oh I've been following that project. I do get scam vibes from the whole thing, but if it doesn't turn out to be a rugpull I will be buying one.
Management as a genericized job field independent of the underlying work being managed has been a disaster for capitalism. Anyone who does any firsthand work in marketing will know AI in ads is offputting. Management says "AI cool. Make it AI."
Management gives exactly no ***** about how cool ai is. All they care about is how CHEAP it is. They can iterate a thousand times for what it costs for 1 day with a real marketer.
Never thought I would be standing here defending marketer... but here we are.

Best part is said military AI called out the boat bombings as war crimes. Once again a promoter of AI is being lambasted by the very AI he promotes.
