Firstly, because the ram is primarily being used in systems that use ram that is completely incompatible with your systems.
Even if you are a homelaber, the ram used on GPUs is literally just the dies, and of a different type, GDDR, or HBM, which is even more impossible to use.
The servers themselves are requiring crazier and crazier power setups such that you could not power it at home.
The days of just getting a crap ton of hyperscaler stuff for home fun are nearing their end.
Like, even without AI, you're not getting a serviceable Graviton rack in your home.
The other reason this is not happening, is because even if shit hits the fan, companies will not give you the same prices they had before, no matter what.
That's just how companies now operate. The shareholders never want them to lower prices, and so they don't.
The only time consumers see new prices are with blitz business strategies to monopolize whole markets, and those have very obvious monkeys paws clauses.
Of course, it would be better if they didn’t, but can you really blame them when the system is stacked against us?
Yes, specifically when they use even a tiny bit of that little free time to beat down others who actually try, or when they don't pay attention to the only ways they could possibly lessen the awful situation.
You personalized this beyond all reason. There was no malicious reading just someone trying to understand what you where trying to say.
Oh right, thats where the "You are worried someone is going to take this comment personally, get hurt, and then run to their corporate overlords" comes from. From you not being malicious at all.
Apparently, I was dead on
You are obviously a troll at this point. Obviously being completely wrong in every conceivable way confirms you were actually right...
Calling someone a bootlicker for telling people that solidarity is better than inner class fighting is so absurd you being a troll is the only logical conclusion.
Given you have another comment that goes like this::
I made statements, you can choose to do whatever you want with them. Trying to simplify this into good and bad is definitely a failing on your part.
I have spent decades studying this stuff so my perspective will be informed and wildly different than yours. That is okay.
I was raised Republican, became a Democrat, and now I vote Independent based on policy not feelings. I am very aware how all sides think.
I think its pretty much confirmed you are indeed a troll.
Calling everyone who doesnt have the same hysteric based, knee jerk reaction as you an ai bro is just immature counterproductive nonsense.
The fact that you use a study which explicitly says not to use it for the thing you use it for, but then claim its I that has the problem is almost comically ignorant.
And no, DDG is not a friend. Besides having their own LLM-bot, they also still have microsoft ads fuckery going on.
At some point with this level of purity testing, you will just be hurting yourself, and making the people around you annoyed though.
You basically want companies to exist while not being profitable for idealistic reasons.
You'll say you don't of course, but the collection of people like you all have similar but different enough red flags that the end result is that you who care idealistically end up having basically 0 effect on the market except making any company that tries to appeal to you walk on egg shells to the point they fail or give up and go for a broader audience.
I mean, I personally wouldn't mind paying 50 bucks a year for a proper open source, well maintained browser, but that will never happen because the type of person like me, also is probably pretty nitpicky, and tends to have ridiculous things they consider as red flags even if they could just ignore a feature or disable it, and that would mean there is no common paid browser possible.
We are then back to there being free browsers that have many reasons to be hated but that the common person is fine enough with.
In truth, people have a visceral reaction because the world is trending in a way they don't like, and it has the unfortunate effect that companies that do what these people like the most, or more than other companies, end up the most punished because those people are the most likely to give backlash. This results in them losing and things being even worse.
Right now there are barely any AI integrations in Firefox, so people are just kneejerk overreacting. At worse they have a feature you have to try to hit where you can have the AI LLM provider of choice summarize a page for you and that type of thing.
Gift cards are just the dumb version of gifting someone money though.
Giftcards trade a shit ton of convenience and usability for the appearance (only in the mind of the gifter) of having put any amount of thought into it.
Skip the middle men fees and inconveniences and just gift people wads of cash or electronically.
In our world of people dismissing any issue that isn't their own, nothing matters, and only the worst people win.
If people didn't leave before this, this or that group getting pissed off won't be the death of it then either.
We don't need everyone to care about everything, but the current paradigm of not only apathy, but actively fighting against other peoples causes because they aren't your own has really doomed us.
Isn't this more dependant on the server? Like sure a client might be doing that, but for people just using web pages this is the standard behaviour across most instances.
What in the literal fuck are you on about. You are worried someone is going to take this comment personally, get hurt, and then run to their corporate overlo
No. What the fuck are you on about.
Your malicious read of my pretty clear comment is so obviously absurd its like Im talking to a rage bait ai bot...
Their comment placed blame on people for simply existing in a world that is increasingly enshitified by subscriptions and my comment clearly was aimed at reaiming that blame at who deserves it rather than fighting people in the same class as you.
I think you are taking this in perhaps the most bizarre way possible.
Says the person doing mental gymnastics to read the comment in a nonsensical way so they can be toxic about it.
People who can't come up with their own arguments, so they just attempt to dogpile on an already bad argument, as the very study linked literally lists exactly that it should not be used to make the argument you're making are some of the most frustrating. Have your own thoughts ffs. We're on "fuck_ai" and you can't even be arsed to do that?
You can't just apologize and undo things like that.
It is a travesty he continues to be a part of that organization considering the no code/subtraction he contributes,
I bet there are a lot of donations they could be getting but aren't purely because of this, and the fact that he clearly had some sort of leverage on them to be able to be reinstated.
Canada is one of the countries the US exploding might hit. Choose a farther nation.
