@marlinz Ich würd's mal so ausdrücken:

Nichts passiert im Vakuum, und alles muss irgendwo berücksichtigt werden.

#WastefulComputing in Form von "#AIslop" wird in ethischer Verantwortungslosigkeit nur von #Shitcoin-Mining mittels #ASIC|s getoppt, denn zumindest theoretisch lässt sich ne "#AI"-#GPU wenigstens #upcycle|n und einer sinnvolleren Verwendung (Bspw.: Engineering oder in Animationen) zuführen…
- Was es umso unethischer Macht ist die "#AIbubble" die grade zulasten aller außerhalb die Kosten für #RAM, #SSD|s & #HDD|s so dermaßen explodieren lässt dass selbst die Hersteller von HDDs (#Seagate) und Flash-Controllern (#Phison) davor warnen!
Ganz davon abgesehen dass die ganzen "#AIbros" / #TechBros / #Milliardäre öffentlich sich als genoziale Arschlöcher outen die im Zweifelsfalle alles irdische Leben vernichten wollen!

AI-#Slop ist daher so'n bisschen wie #Atomkraft:

Wir verballern teure Schwermetalle um damit Wasser heiß zu machen.
- Das ist nicht nur unnachhaltig, sondern absurd.

@medwds that's even harmless.

#Micron axed the #Crucial brand, and the cheap-ish #BX500 #SSD's went from €75/TB to >€250/TB and competitiors now even more expensive.

The "#AI" / #AIbubble-driven extreme scarcity is so bad that #Phison warns that their clients and thus a shitton of #ConsumerElectronics firms are aboutbto go broke!
- The Problem is that regulators like @EUCommission didn't step in to regulate #Scalping & #Hoarding by #ClosedAI ("#OpenAI") becaue they are a bunch of #TechIlliterates.

Already people are #PanicBuying even #UsedSystems because unless that #bubble pops tomorrow, shit ain't getting better for 5 - 10+ years!!!

@nxadm yes, and #Phison as manufacturer für #Flash-Controllers on #Consumer-SSDs already publicly rang the alarm bell that the #AIbubble will kill #ConsumerElectronics and run [their clients (!!!)] manufacturers into the ground.

Point is that once the average #WageWorker's productivity, spending and wellbeing is irrelevant, they'll get jettisoned from the system.
- You can see that with the decline.of the #UK & #USA the most!

Ah yes, the RAM crunch: when AI data centers eat the kibble and everyone else gets the empty bowl. According to the article, RAM prices are up 3–6x, and just three firms control 93% of DRAM while prioritizing profits over fast capacity expansion. Second half of 2026 could get ugly—who’s budgeting for repairs? 😼

CES năm nay dường như đang gây thất vọng cho cộng đồng chạy LLM tại địa phương (Local LLM). Dù là sự kiện công nghệ lớn, nhưng không có thông báo nào thực sự đột phá cho phần cứng AI cá nhân.

Giải pháp AiDaptiv+ của Phison giúp mở rộng VRAM sang SSD vốn được kỳ vọng nhưng vẫn chưa có thông tin cụ thể về ngày ra mắt. Nhiều người dùng đặt câu hỏi liệu các ông lớn đang quá tập trung vào AI đám mây mà bỏ quên mảng phần cứng cho người dùng cuối.
