I was just looking at this market last week because I was looking to expand my NAS. As far as I can tell they haven’t gone up too drastically. I paid $250 for 10tb Seagate Iron Wolf drives about 4 years ago, and that’s the same price today as 10tb Western Digital Red drive. I can’t even really tell if Seagate makes the same drive I bought back then. I wonder if all of these are about to skyrocket in price and I should just get some while I can.

It’s a good question because the bubble could also pop and companies like WD rush to find new buyers which could also mean price drops. It’s so hard to predict.

Love to see an article that differentiates between algorithmic processes and AI through the use of an example like Music Mouse.

This Steam Deck story was the one I thought you were going to post first thing today! This fucking AI land grab is just so fucking stupid.

I didn’t see the headline until late in the day. I was previously wondering if it would get hit too, because why wouldn’t it, right?

I didn’t think things that were currently in production would get hit so soon. Valve must not secure parts too far in advance. I think I heard that Sony should be good through the rest of the year as they have what they think they need secured through the holiday season. As popular as the Steam Deck seems, it’s “only” sold about 5 million units, so they probably don’t have nearly as much pull to secure stock.

This is a wild prediction because it’s saying this will happen by the end of this year:

This is a paywall skipper link to a Financial Times article. Instead of OpenAI paying Nvidia $100 billion for hardware, Nvidia is investing $30 billion into OpenAI. OpenAI is supposed to IPO this year. Once again, the consumer level peons are going to end up holding the bag when this sector comes back down to earth. OpenAI doesn’t have a path to profitability and I have no idea how they’re going to get the money to fund all of their outlandish commitments. Maybe this is an early sign of the “bubble” starting to weaken.
AI/LLMs aren’t going away. The technology is amazing and feels like magic when it works. It’s the people and the industry that surrounds it that sucks so bad. I just wish everything in this world wasn’t about how to extract the most money out of everyone at all times no matter the cost.

I think the most upsetting part of that story is the fucking name they picked to call this thing. Patty? Really?

Here is an actual article that summarizes the events pertaining to what I mentioned in my previous comment.
P.S. The name ShooterOrson sure is something.
