I wouldn't be surprised to learn there's a non-zero amount of "oh hey this is a good opportunity to jack up the price and blame it on data centers", but the disrupted market is real. It's a large part of why Trump make a big government investment in Intel in my estimation. The inability to supply our own chips domestically represented a national security threat that got revealed by the AI demand spike.
Wait, did that actually happen?
Are you really not aware of the AI companies buying up literally entire years worth of upcoming manufacturing capability to fuel their data center needs? It's been wreaking havoc all across the IT space for a while now. It started with RAM and GPUs but it's expanded to storage and I believe even CPUs are spiking as well now, but don't quote me on that. Just bubble levels of demand for hardware across the board and it's really revealed the fragility of the industry's ability to supply hardware given how few manufacturers for the actual chipsets there actually are and just how costly (both in time, money and specialized knowledge) it is to actually build out more production capability.
Shit's wild out there when companies use the fake and gayness of the stock market to finance infinite hardware purchases and the real world can't crank out enough hardware to meet that absurd demand. Consumer grade products aren't even part of the equation anymore. Crucial, which used to be my go-to brand for SSDs and sometimes RAM was outright gutted because its parent company ran the math and decided that there was zero reason to continue serving the retail customer when there was orders of magnitude more money to be made focusing solely on components for data centers.
Oh I thought this was gonna be Unreal Engine generating NPC dialog on the fly, not just a fancy wrapper for making API calls to Claude. This is less impressive than the shit my friend built in his spare time with local models.
It's been twelve years of uninterrupted hellscape. I'm tired.
Not really, we still ended up in a conflict on Israel's behalf to begin with, so it's still a loss. Gas prices spiked for several weeks, which was not good for the American people no matter how you slice it.
This is just posturing rather than any sort of honest analysis. We still have all the same problems as we did before global leadership decided to be extra retarded for a few months.
Wait, so is this just the game journo pros mailing list all over again?
Yeah, I'm sure GM being contracted to supply the machining for some washers or some small piece of missile housing is totally the same as them being the guys who build the whole damn bomb. But I guess we'll never know because someone's a fucking .jpg poster.
Exactly.
Until there are cattle cars being employed out of necessity for the shear volume of people that need to be moved then this isn't a serious effort.
Which faction are you referring to here?
Oh noes, I'm not spamming the board with worthless threads when I don't have something worthwhile to share with the class. What an absolute moral failing on my part.
So you're engaging in clickbait.
Lovely.
Link the video you lazy bum.
Villains hide behind the letter of the law in order to violate the spirit of the law.
You're an idiot for writing off an entire medium.
or enforcing
Yes, that's what I said.
They may want kids but they don't want families, or at least they don't want them more than wanton hedonism until they overshoot their fertility window and become suicidal with regret. The fix is to just take away their rights and guide them towards a life that will leave them happy and fulfilled.
If she can support her own hedonistic lifestyle without the support of a man then she'll just do that instead of raising a family. Women require boundaries enforced upon them by society at large or else you get the current shit show. This is how every civilization on earth has worked for all of recorded history.
It's the same dynamic everywhere. When women aren't economically dependent upon their men then they stop fucking them. You can dress it up and try to make it more palatable but it's the same thing across the globe. If you want women to create children in sufficient numbers to sustain a society then they need to be directly dependent upon the men of their society. We've done too much too abstract away that dependency and allowed them to participate in the economy with pretend jobs to the point where they perceive themselves as no longer dependent.
You're not going to get the opportunity to take your belt off in the middle of a fight.
So you mind honesty?
This is a good distillation of so many malevolents of the current era. All the media outlets and institutions currently objecting to circulating videos of that guy in the middle of beheading a guy over in Ireland, they have a problem with the truth being plainly put into words. There are few things more unambiguously villainous.
.jpgs of a twitter post with no substantiation of claims also don't constitute proof and OP is a faggot for claiming it proves anything at all.
We've known this shit has nothing to do with protecting children and never has. Unless there's documented evidence of politicians openly admitting it to the public this doesn't really mean anything.
What kind of drives are you using to make it to 22TB of storage for only $550?
