Wait til all these projects crash, burn, and get liquidated. Gonna be an amazing secondary market for brand new, unused bulk hardware.
Yes, of course
Except, i doubt anyone will be doing much with a 32 code Xenon CPU Windows snobs cant even run Windows on without a super giga 1000€ license for more than 16 Core CPUs
And the cuda only fanless and outputless GPU will also be kinda useless, especially because they all need a special setup to force feed air through the entire rack to not overheat
a super giga 1000€ license for more than 16 Core CPUs
Year of the Linux Desktop! Any day now… any day… huffs copium
I mean it’s 64/128/256 cores for home/pro/workstation so not really. People buying aftermarket server parts that want windows can probably figure out how to type

But you won’t be able to afford it because the market crash means you lose your job.
I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.
That would be awesome thank you
Don’t you worry it’s gonna have a global impact againjudt like it did in 08. Imagine losing your job in Italy for instance cause some bankers got ultra rich in the US. What a dumb fucking world.
I didn’t feel anything of it in Europe.
Do it, do it, do it, do it!
Meh, not really a full collapse. Just like 75% of it and a huuuuge recession. Or maybe a “Tiny Depression”? Basically, 10 years to recover. Which is where we’re going anyway, with out without AI.
And if AI doesn’t fail, people will be unemployed.
God, I hope so…
Free market totally regulating itself like we’ve always been told.

The HC530s drives I bought in Nov are 40% more expensive now. My local computer store used to sell 16TB Barracudas for CAD $250 last year. They’re $400 now and only available in-store.
The end model will be the 70s Arthur Clarke prediction. Just a dumb terminal with no processing capabilities at home, hooked to a mainframe (privately owned of course) which you’ll have to use your all your daily needs.
These days with video compression and the like, even a terminal needs a minimum of processing power, enough to run basic things and a browser, especially if you want to make it lag free.
If everyone lags, there’s no lag.
What about SSDs?
Ask yourself why the AI industry turned to HDDs
Same as everyone else? Because it’s a more cost-effective way of storing data?
You’re gonna need to sit down for me to tell you about NAND prices
Those prices have already been driven up.

Burn it all down.
We don’t need no water let the mother fucker burn.
Burn motherfucker burn.
Damn it, I now see that my local IT store have had to postpone delivery of Seagate drives as well, I have four 8TB Seagate NAS drives in my new NAS I am building, I just need two more to complete the build.
So looks like I am going Toshiba for the last two drives + one cold spare.
It’s good to get a variety of manufacturers + manufacture dates in your build anyways, to avoid the risk of getting bad manufacturer batches or issues with particular models that haven’t been discovered yet.
That is a good way to think about it!
When Trump threatened tariffs I went ahead and bought 50 TB of storage. With my then expansion it would easily last me until the end of Trump’s turn and maybe a decade if I rationed.
Turns out that was one of my best calls of judgements to date, just not for the reason I thought.
