    Yeah, but it's still following the trends with that paper clip tail light. Plus, the age of logos as the badge is over. Now the cool thing is to spell out the name with letters on the back.

    @jon-nyc said in Are we in an AI bubble?: AMD or Huawei in China but Nvidia has like 80-90% of the American market for AI compute which comprises 75% of the world’s total. First the bubble bursts, then the missiles start exchanging. If your brains aren't already trying to prepare you for survival in the aftermath, I wish you the best. I'm already a crack shot as i've played first player shooters my whole adult life. Now I'm signing up for jujitsu classes. Gotta learn how to roll. But mostly it's gonna be all about who's got guns. That's the new currency for a spell, bullets. Worth more than gold per ounce. And we all worried that AI would be the ruinization of us. Terminator 2 unfolding, right? Well AI took us out but just in a bit different way. When it happens, we will all point the finger at Nvidia of course. And Jensen Huang will self headshot with a single bullet. The least he could do for raping and pillaging us poor gamer boys for years. He just got $1000 from me for my latest upgrade of my GPU. Nvidia purposely screwed around with their gamers base with their latest release of the RTX 5000 series video cards. The grandaddy , the 5090, which is by far the faster gun in town, saw it's price skyrocket due to scarcity and today they can be had but not for its MSRP of $2000. No, no. Try almost double that price. Check it out.... https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Graphics-3-8-Slot-Axial-tech-Phase-Change/dp/B0DS2WQZ2M/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2MUI35HRFNNWG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2ibhmwk9uT-yYDlHF7f8SAhAgzE3MSvmCgDg7f5hBAQXWzdwBkZHVv-34SIclFJgkD2ODOZWARMciBDn2wm12-F3a47FxttZ1DlKNTaoO64JXG-16qDnG-5y4BQc-K_UmBblQWmvL5TrD7GN-mhGSnGPGy3PCVmU3bqaHWsXCpTVgU8_1LtCBL7uaCDpjf_1xpM2CVsrGQzcUQKgAED11OoNoWFb9F8XJKHCdu1OACA.YbS16RFPfq8j8q7sK47qC0ywpbDZp8DmICk1aVEhgfI&dib_tag=se&keywords=rtx+5090&qid=1763799532&sprefix=rtx+509%2Caps%2C245&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 I bought the step down card , the rtx 5080 and it too was going for almost double its msrp of $1000 throughout the year. But it has come back down to earth a bit and today can be had at msrp mostly. Add a little Black Friday spice and I personally kept the lights on at Nvidia for another 10 seconds. You know what I think I'll miss the most in this aftermath. PC Gaming. No more danged electricity. Sucks.

    I can't remember a time when we weren't being told that the Iranian regime wasn't on the verge of collapse. And that, my friends, is a triple-negative.

    "That far orange cunt" isn't particularly witty, but it is quite satisfying to say out loud.

    @Horace said in How AI defends the status quo: So AI is conservative by nature. I guess that's more evidence of how smart it is. I think you might be right. I've seen its jokes.

    It is. And of course totally unplanned. Remember we didn’t even see it until two weeks later when we got home and had the film developed.

    I think Gavin's Willie Horton would have to be in California, not Florida. You can bet if there is one the GOP is aware of it and will trot it out when needed.

    apparently some of us are coming around to the realization that there can be legit principled people who made up the maga movement. Just kidding, that realization is not within their grasp.

    @89th said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @Mik said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @jon-nyc The problem with that is they are sampling things that have already been created. Once AI is most all of what's out there to sample you get into this content death spiral. Funny, I was just thinking this morning how content could get into its own self-referencing vortex. It seems like a solvable problem. Not too worried about that one.
