Dude, fuck you. Kiev is attacked basically daily. Do you expect Ukrainians to just lay down and take it? Ukraine is doing their damndest to respond in the only language Russia might understand. The fact that they’re still independent is a testament to their solidarity, their fighting force, and their determination to not be a vassal to anyone.

I still have a few older sticks of DDR4 from various older projects, and AM4 boards and CPUs are still decently priced… at least relative to newer stuff. In any case, most games aren’t going to need DDR5 for a long time, and so long as you aren’t bothering with ray tracing to any significant degree older GPUs are still competitive. The only thing that’s required these days is an SSD, and it’s not as though those haven’t been around forever at this point.

It sucks yeah, not being able to even consider newer parts, but it is what it is.

Ask 1930’s Germany.

Yes, yes they do.

Yar har, fiddle dee dee, being a pirate is alright with me!

My take: Run what you want on your own damn hardware. If you feel the need to make it a ‘service’ in order to run it, think very carefully about WAY more than just the money it will cost you to do so. If you feel the need to take a massive IOU to buy the hardware or LAND to put that hardware, go die in a hole. If you feel the need to reserve the world’s entire manufacturing supply for hardware to put on the land you put out an IOU for, I sincerely hope that you get a pineapple up the ass as you’re getting beheaded in whatever town square.

I feel like you haven’t READ a single one of mine.

‘There’s enough people that played the other two on PC that’ll be PISSED if they have to spend a grand on another piece of hardware to play the new one.’

FTFY

And this is different from the normal US healthcare system how?

Do what you want ‘cause a pirate is free…

If there’s any kind of medication, I’ve tried it. Ask my GP and my ENT doctors.

Tell that to the antifungal shampoo and face wash I was prescribed that did nothing to help.

Let ‘em take out DC. Let ‘em take out Maralago or whatever.

I do not dream of labor.

LLMs regardless are awful. Running whatever model on your own hardware is fine, but it depends on if what you’re doing with it is creative or not. Writing, art, etc. are out of the question. Help with coding, pattern recognition on a large subset of data, etc. is fine and isn’t too far from stuff we used to use for those purposes anyways.

The issue at the end of the day isn’t AI. It’s where and how it’s used and, on a larger scale, what markets and environments are thrown into disarray because of idiots.
