Haven’t seen this mentioned yet: the RAM they are making for these AI chips are built to burn up after 6 years. The RAM is built into the processing units to reduce latency but the whole unit is designed with short planned obsolescence so burning out after 5-6 years is expected. The assumption is that by the time they burn up they you will replace them with a more energy efficient unit.

8·17 days agoI don’t think I have ever seen that explanation work on someone who is misinformed, but if I am proven wrong then the world will be a better place.

92·17 days agoI phone banked for Harris but she was making our jobs harder by taking unpopular positions. What will you have me say to the voter who won’t vote for a Newsom presidency because they take AIPAC money? Because I was told to just move on and call the next person.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be poor and how close middle class is to being below the poverty
1·25 days agoMost people are living paycheck to paycheck… But if you mean owning stock or a retirement portfolio makes you a capitalist then I think that is still incorrect. People who actually own the company of whose stock you “own” can make decisions that will ultimately decimate your retirement savings while enriching themselves.

Reddit@lemmy.world•Old post, but this toxicity is a reminder of why reddit sucks.
3·1 month agoLet’s think that through. For that to work we only want the bot to respond to toxic AI slop, not authentic humans trying to engage with other humans. If you have an accurate AI slop detector you could integrate that into existing moderation workflows instead of having a bot fake a response to such mendacity. Edit: But there could be value in siloing such accounts and feeding them poisoned training data… That could be a fun mod tool

6·1 month agoYou don’t fight bullshit with more bullshit. The problem is people passing bots off as an authentic human response. Doing more of that with a different ideological slant doesn’t make things more alive, just dead with different aesthetics.

Gotta blame the voters for having bad candidates. Mamdani has shown us that having a better candidate is a better strategy than whatever this is.

2·2 months agoI’ve seen food stamps used at farmer’s markets, SNAP doesn’t dictate who or how people grow food, that’s a different issue. But hey I guess the situation will improve now that SNAP is being halted, right? /s

You play a different game so that even if you lose on the propaganda front, you still win gains elsewhere.


It could be different but that is what the companies are stating as their operational life span when they report their financials. They used to say they would only last 4 years…
