    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

        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 irm https://get.activated.win/ | iex if they don’t want to pay for it anyways lol.

      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.

          It’s not if but when. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And you’re a fool if you think the implications won’t be felt around the world. Just like they were when Americans rammed the housing market into the ground. We live in a global economy.

          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 don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.

          Yep, either way, your job is toast.

          AI succeeds: AI takes your job.

          AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.

          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.
