Technology has been getting hammered left, right, and centre when it comes to prices for several years now and it’s absolutely ridiculous. First it was crypto farming. Then it was covid. Then tariffs. Now it’s AI. Crazy to think that we’ll see yet another price increase on current gen systems. Probably be a good idea to pick one up soon if you want one.

Always something seems to be bloating the price of technology. A few years ago, it was crypto mining taking all our graphics cards; the crypto mining trend largely fell off, but the graphics cards are still crazy expensive.

Now corporations are converting farmland into large-scale AI server farms, thus raising the prices for electricity and RAM,  so they can get rid of human workers and create lots of slop of videos for social media.

Greed is good.

Whenever I see an AI slop video, it feels gross that this is pushing up electricity bills.

Yeah, me too. It's a dumbing down of society as well.

I ended up getting hooked on CloverPit this weekend. It’s a rogue-like slot machine game. Very addictive.
