"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

While the article mentions that it's mostly enterprise grade hard drives that are becoming more expensive, nonetheless it's also affecting consumer-level hardware -- in addition to memory and GPUs becoming difficult to afford for anyone wishing to just play computer games or create human-made content.

Mainly tech bros and large companies whose goal is to do away with that pesky “personnel” line item that costs their company so much and prevents them from hoarding more money.

Though that being said, I firmly believe that LLMs and ML are not the way to AGI and it’ll have to be discovered via a different route.
