We're going to go back to covid times when it was cheaper up buy a computer with the graphics card in it than to buy the graphics card out right, but now with ram.
I'm getting so burnt out with the blatant corruption and data centers sucking up all the hardware. You know at the end of the day, all these companies are boasting record profits.
That's the thing, they're absolutely not. Nearly all AI implementation fails and returns on investment are minimal, if they exist at all. They're all part of a big gamble.
It's exceptionally irrational at the moment. Everyone is not just gambling on an irrational self-valuation of the bet, they're seeing each other's bets, and that is adding an extra level of FOMO irrationality, increasing the bets even further.
With Trump's acts of economic self-mutilation already weakening the economy, this is going to be a wild ride when the bubble pops.
I'm so glad that the US economy is based on moving money around between vast dragon hoards instead of making actually useful stuff that improves everyone's daily life.
Just wait for them to go belly up, and then buy the used hardware
Yup. Like I just grabbed a nice laptop for $150 that was $1200 in 2025 because Microsoft dictated that every computer is obsolete to their OS.
Much like RAM, around 90% of Nvidia's hardware in 2025 is for data centers. Unfortunately it's mostly specialized hardware that can't be used in consumer computers.
