It would be nice to have info from someone else who has previously done this. while it took a lot of price gouging just because they can.

I feel like at some point you have to trade successful fatherhood for professional success -- are weak. They are not the same thing.

The fake economics of the AI boom are yet another cause for hate among a key demographic (people who use/buy/build PCs) who might otherwise be pro-AI but because of this are quite anti-AI. By now I stopped counting the attempts to replace SQL. There is a lot of price gouging just because they can. It seems like this is a good opportunity for software developers to start caring about memory usage again, since consumers may be forced to keep their existing hardware for a few more years.

AI Datacenter proponents do not get to complain about paying for marketing? FWIW - I agree with the post otherwise, especially quality vs quantity. High quality interactions are the best. Interesting, as we increase our total global power consumption, losses in the form of heat will increase proportionally. This is more concerning than anything else happening in the AI space.
