[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's what I'm saying since 2020, people don't have patience any more.

Same goes for the death of windows 10. I want me some cheap Linux boxes.

I believe it is likely that there will be a burst at some point, just as with the dot-com burst.

But I think many people wrongly think that it will be the end of or a major setback for AI.

I see no reason why in twenty years AI won't be as prevalent as "dot-com's" are now.

Unfortunately, this time around the majority of AI build up are GPUs that are likely difficult to accomodate in a random build.

If you want a GPU for graphics, well, many of them don't even have video ports.

If your use case doesn't need those, well, you might not be able to reasonably power and cool the sorts of chips that are being bought up.

The latest wrinkle is that a lot of that overbuying is likely to go towards Grace Blackwell, which is a standalone unit. Ironically despite being a product built around a GPU but needing a video port, their video port is driven by a non-nvidia chip.

My use case is for my own AI plans as well as some other stuff like mass transcoding 200TB+ of..."Linux ISOs" lol. I already have power/cooling taken care of for the other servers I'm running

I've already got my gaming needs satisfied for years to come (probably)

Crypto miners watcing AI bubble.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Silverlight, what are you doing here? Go on, get outta here!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

The problem is that the enterprise level cards can't really perform at the consumer market level nor are they designed for it. Many don't even have video outputs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

There may be a dip in prices for a bit, but since covid, more companies have realized they can get away with manufacturing fewer units and selling them for a higher price.

The AI bubble burst is gonna wreck the market and send us into another recession. Especially if the crypto bubble bursts at a similar time.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Those in charge brought it on themselves. They can’t see through their own hype and lies and cult-like worship. It’s the rest of us that will hurt the most though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Stop. My penis can only get so erect.

Word of caution: these used GPUs will have spent a lot of time doing AI bullshit with as little downtime as possible. Make sure you get a good enough deal for the risk that it just dies in 2 months.

I just want the ai hate bubble to burst, the hype bubble probably needs to go as well but honestly I care less about that

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I want the hype bubble to burst because I want them to go back to making AI for useful stuff like cancer screening and stop trying to cram it into my fridge or figure out how to avoid paying their workers, and the hate bubble isn't going to stop until that does.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

"I made an AI powered banana that can experience fear of being eaten and cuss at you while you do."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Nah the hype will just make the POP louder.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

It's both for me

How much if a discount are you expecting to start gaming on a 30k card with no video output?

You don't want a used GPU that's been running overclocked for years on end bro.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Multiple outlets including LTT and Gamers Nexus have debunked this.

The only thing you may have to do if you notice unusual performance is reapply thermal paste to the GPU, and that’s only because most thermal paste will dry out after years of sitting around or being used

Nuclear energy could also be a weird side effect of the bubble.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'll buy a dozen and build my own AI farm tyvm.

it would be amazing to have several models running and have them interact together for some real immersive DnD rp.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

something feels off with that picture

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Aw, I was hoping the whole thing would rhyme after the first line.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

You're more likely to see the college bubble burst before AI. Colleges are struggling with low admissions.
