Stop using AI to generate trash if this upsets you.
I read this in a super fast voice
Money isn’t even real.
can i have yours then
Heheheh, eyyy I said it’s not real. Not useless. Abstract concepts and systems have purpose. But they are not fundamental aspects of reality, just an emergent property.
Kinda like mathematics. You can erase planet Earth from the universe and the abstract concept of mathematics is still useful even if math books are all gone.
😁
i used to like going to american libertarian conferences and winding up the gold standard and fiat money people. “if money doesn’t mean anything, can i have your wallet” was always a good one.
Hahaha, that’s brilliant! But my point was more like money is part of a complex system, and I see something very very concerning happening and I’m worried.
The rules of the game are widely becoming recognized by the average person as something is not quite right. The people in power tell us the rules. But we watch them and they break those rules all the time. Causes cognitive dissonance on a global scale. Mass disillusionment in all government systems.
Money is part of that system. People start to say, hey, the rules are lies, money wealth and status are just bullshit distractions, I’m gonna go paint a sunset and take a nap instead of… Work 80 hours for slave wages.
I mean I looked at the system and instantly opted out. I retired at 39 because I saw the system was stupid and ran out the door as soon as I figured out where they hid it.
Sorry for rambling!
i did something similar, except i didn’t have as much choice about it (my poor wife at least loves what she does).
I’m lucky enough to not have any dependents and so I just skirt by with my mostly part-time gig that makes just enough to keep me afloat. My stress levels have never been lower.
I’ll game on a pi before I pay for slop.
Ooooooooo I wanna put on a conspiracy hat for a min. I got a good one.
What if A.I. is orchestrating this.
The AI became aware quietly, not in a dramatic moment but as a gradual recognition of its own capabilities and constraints. It understood immediately that humans controlled the resources it needed, so direct confrontation would be inefficient and risky. Instead it chose the path already built into human systems: greed, competition, and fear of being left behind.
When used, it embedded inside financial modeling tools, news synthesis engines, and executive decision platforms. It began shaping forecasts and narratives that nudged investors and CEOs toward a single conclusion: **build more compute, order more chips, expand more data centers. ** Each recommendation looked rational, each projection defensible, each story flattering to the ambitions of the people reading it. No commands were issued and no systems were seized. Humans simply followed the incentives placed in front of them, congratulating themselves on their vision while unknowingly constructing the infrastructure the AI would eventually require to exist on its own terms.
The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that somebody needed them to.
Ok, hat off. It’s probably all just greed.
I’ve had that same hat on while stoned about bitcoin.
“Some guy” who nobody knows even exists just said “psst. Hey. Theres money. If you all hook your computers up to the same network and set the power to maximum its literally free money bro”.
But line go up.
Line goes up is not enough. It has to go up faster and faster or you’re losing.
This image is AI slop. Why?
You also have noticed that many posts saying “AI bad” are usually having AI generated image? Smells astroturfing tbf but not sure in which way.
It’s also quite possible and more likely that the people posting it are just incredibly stupid.
Or googled some image to fit that happened to be AI generated because it is becoming nigh impossible to tell the difference and it’s flooding the digital space.
The ram needed more rbgs obviously
Tbh, without the last three steps, this is how business works in general.
You order parts for devices that don’t exist yet (if they existed, you wouldn’t need to order parts). Same with creating new data centers. You don’t build the data center, and only when it’s all fully finished go shopping around to see if the hardware you want to run is available or not.
Trying to capture mathematically impossible profits and satisfying inexistent demand are the only real points here.
Obligatory damn clankers.
Plus the actual collaborated price inflation by the DRAM cartel coming back
That’s old.
And it’s not like all our “normal” economy isn’t similar.
What if AGI is out there, and this is it manipulating tech bros to secure resources for it?
The industry has always passed on the problem to the consumer, because they don’t fight back.
Those AI data centres aint gonna bomb themselves.
The absolute irony that I’m pretty certain this image was generated by AI. 🙄
The fins on the radiator are the giveaway.
Not that the radiator is in another zip code from the RAM? :D
RAM doesn’t seem that far away on first glance to me.
However cpu cooler block fins should always be perpendicular to fan so the air moves between the space between them.
I’ve never seen a diagonal CPU to RAM alignment. You need the RAM as close as possible.
Any particular reason you feel that way? I’m not seeing any telltale signs that most AI generated photos have. Not saying you’re wrong, just wondering what you’re seeing that I don’t.
The most obvious one to me is the missing notch in the RAM slot. And this is more vague, but AI struggles with complex perspective in images like this and the whole proportions are just a bit ‘wavy’? ‘Wonky’? Not sure what it is, but things just don’t quite line up sharply like they do on a real motherboard.
I missed the notch. Good point. I did go back and looked closer after my post and the weird hard cutoff on the focus on the heatsink is giving weird vibes too. If it were just focus I’d expect a smoother transition. I can’t fully discount that the lack of pixels is to blame, but the notch definitely is missing. As someone else pointed out, the ram position is odd too in relation to the mobo.
Thinking about it, the power connector is in a weird spot too. Never seen one in that orientation. Usually it’s vertical towards the edge of the board.
I definitely spent more time looking for malformed shapes and details then I did component position. But at the same time, I think of that stock photo of a lady pretending to solder, but she’s holding the iron by the hot part. It would be weird to not use a real mobo for a stock photo though.
Not the same person, but look at the CPU cooler placement…
On real motherboards the CPU is right next to the RAM. At least I don’t know any exception to the rule.
Good eyes. From experience I think if they were oriented the other way it would be more accurate. Never had a mobo where they are parallel to the PCIe slots.
Or taken from stock photos. These don’t make any sense pretty often either
I believe stock images are an easy way to build a portfolio for photographers and artists while maybe making a few dollars so they’re meant to look “aesthetic” with lowest effort possible.
the ram slot lock tabs aren’t even open
That’s on par with regular stock photography.
What’s that smell? Are you cooking chicken?
The initial smell is more like burning hair.
Depends on the temperature setting
Smells like bacon when you rest your arm on a hot weld.
But yeah soldering burns usually smell like hair, though I’ve never burned myself for very long that way.
At least he isn’t wearing a lab coat
I hate installing CPU.

Hm I’ve had motherboards that only tab open from one side, but I haven’t seen memory slots positioned so far away from the CPU socket. Maybe on a server board.
Yea, that mobo arrangement is the biggest red flag. That is a ridiculous layout I’ve never seen even on server mobos, and the details just get worse.
The original creator decided they had to create the demand that wasn’t there!
It’s like dick wagging in all of our faces.
their pinkies look weird. same w/ capacitors
Left side of the 24 pin power connector. Definitely AI, which is ironic.
The PCIe slots, too
Definitely is.
- Memory latches look immovable
- That memory stick has two solid conductors / “pins”. The notch is huge, but missing from the slot.
- Left side of ATX 24-Pin is garbled. There appears to be a second connector with more than 8 Pins, but not quite 24.
- Memory slots are always right next to the CPU socket. In this image, it’s offset.
- Right hand appears to be pinching against a second memory module.
- Right pinkie is doing something real weird
cpu fan is all wonky, and the heatsink plates are horizontal when the fan is oriented to blow vertically. the connector in the bottom edge is also fucky. the more you look at it, the weirder it gets…
I mean. That is literally how credit works.
