Literally all console and gaming sales are experience a bloodbath except indies... How come there isn't a bigger freakout?!
Good, maybe this will finally stop the endless push for "muh photorealism" and devs will realize that art style > graphical fidelity
It'll only become a freak out when it impacts people's smartphones or something.I'm resigned to the fact the corporate overlords and our governments do not care at all if I freak out or not.
>"shortage">it's actually artificial scarcity caused by Sam Altman pre-purchasing RAM components using US taxdollars that are being printed for him
The AI castle is beginning to crumble, I really don't think it's going to last that long unless this is bad faith bullshit and is counting the slow trickle back down to 100% normal after it's returned like 95% of the way long before
>>740054647The unitoligist?
>only effects bloated poorly optimized UE5 games that require 100GB ram to run at 24fps (the crappiness makes it more cinematic)
>>740054465is 2036 when the AI bubble pops? we have to suffer 10 more years of this shit?
>>740054465There have been articles warning about the RAM shortage since Fall of last year, you had ample time to buy whatever hardware you needed.
Sam Altman assassination when
>>740054936there have also been a billion speculative things with tons of articles about them that did not come true
>>740054539"good artstyle" mfs when your game doesn't have have the ps1 style
consoles are doing fine, the switch 2 and ps5 are still pushing a quarter of a million consoles a weekpc is where it's rough since nobody can justify the cost and its future in uncertain
>>740055001It wasn't speculative you stupid nigger, every AI company has been spending hand over fist to buy up all the memory that Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung can produce. I'm glad stupid goycattle like you get to suffer due to their lack of foresight.
>>740054465>except indies...that's why
there's no good games to play anyway, the crisis is deeper than you can imagine
>>740054676Yeah but the second the AI bubble pops they'll start inflating the Quantum Computing bubble.
>>740054465I don't know if my PC will survive another 10 years.
>>740054465All of you faggots continue to make up false scenarios and then get mad at them. I'm convinced people actually enjoy being miserable and angry and you have the tards who profit off those same faggots.To say a crisis like this could last for 10 years is absolutely false. Nobody who makes predictions like this should ever be taken seriously.
>>740054465This shit sucks, it's been sucking since crypto, been wanting to fully upgrade for a while now, been wanting to game on 4K, seems like at this rate it won't happen anytime soon.With that said, who the fuck keeps asking for AI, literally nobody I know irl wants it, in fact, I don't believe that anybody even cares about AI.
>>740054465I didn't vote for this....
>>740054465>clickbait literal who articleProbably not, though maybe it's different for burgers with the cheese man's tariffs
>>740055213And that's the same shit all the ones that didn't come true said. Hindsight is a hell of a drug
>>740054465(You)VOTEDFORTHIS
>>740055340it's clickbait blog headline that op is using to get his daily attention dopamine boost with not even trying tier bait text.
>>740054770It will pop earlier, that year is if we continue the current trend
>>740055469I didn't thoughStop thinking all of 4chan is /pol/ because their whiny pissbabies are loudest
>>740055429If you voted red (not the Nintendo red) You absolutely did vote for this.
Why don't they just make more ram?
>>740055613>why don't fabricants lower intentionally the price of their merchandise?
xi will save us
>>740055613I think I can do it. I found a few videos of people making their own ram/chips and it doesn't seem to require too much space to set up a clean room. But to answer your question, because it's hard also, chemicals.
>>740055410People who want to replace their workers. I think the whole idea was to get everyone on the AI train and funnel trillions of dollars so that researchers could automagically make the AI better with those trillions of dollars and then they could start replacing more and more workers and then say "not my problem" when unemployment would become rampant, but obviously it didn't really work out. Kinda bad too because it proved that a lot of corporations can't be trusted to not immediately try to replace their workers if they did all that over chatbots.
>>740054585Once companies start noticing the effects and it directly impacts many businesses is when they'll get told to cut it out. It will happen within the next year or two. It is only a matter of time till the effects are felt all over.
>>740055840They really did blow their loads too early and now the average person(aka not a jeet) hates AIWhen the news came that AI is losing billions they tried to shove it in everywhere just to try and recoup and hope people would thing their new shitty search engine with a 30% hallucination rate was of any use
>>740054585but it is. samsung is selling the ram they make to datacenter/enterprise solutions instead of using it in their phones
>>740055840>People who want to replace their workersI don't think that's feasible, I mean AI is created through human innovation.I can see AI robots used to replace humans in places like in where houses and such, or clean and maintaining your house, but it could never be creative.I'm seeing videos that are claiming that AI tech has stagnated, so I could see the AI bubble may pop sooner than later which is something that most of us hope happens.
>>740056115Go to any website and try contacting themIn 99% of cases you are redirected to a fucking AI instead of a human being trying to solve your problemIts gotten to the point where I stopped trying to make phone calls and went over to emails because trying to navigate the AI into folding and giving me someone actually capable of thought is fucking impossible
Does anyone have that image comparing ram usage of a number of games running on Windows and Linux? The games tended to use 30-50% less on Linux. I don't remember if it was native ports or in Proton though.
>>740056237>In 99% of cases you are redirected to a fucking AI instead of a human being trying to solve your problemNo lie, I 'chatted' with someone on online banking and the answer came in an instant, I mean it I got the answer I was looking for.Got me thinking, it would be a great time to come up with products that don't have AI integration (cell phones etc.), whoever does will become a mulitmillionare.
>>740054465Based AIKilling AAA studios
>>740056564Its truly sad when proudly stating you DON'T use AI is considered a postive when billions went into shilling that garbageBut I have no doubt there will be services soon that do exactly that
>>740055612democrats aren't even doing any performative pushback against this.
>>740055840>it proved that a lot of corporations can't be trusted to not immediately try to replace their workers if they did all that over chatbotsThey already did it by outsourcing all their production and industry to the third world, replacing their laborers with mexicans and their IT professionals with indian "professionals".This was just the latest in a long list of cutting corners to make the line continually go up.
>>740056237>In 99% of cases you are redirected to a fucking AI instead of a human being trying to solve your problemThe best part is that on the off chance you get it to put you through to an actual person, it puts you through to an indian who's just using the chatbot on his end and copy-pasting the answers
>>740056237>'I'm sorry I didn't get that.'>I will now redirect you to the wrong phone number because you said a keyword>*plays keyboard typing sound effects and burning gallons of water while processing your question*
where the fuck is china?
>>740057189They still haven't managed to take Taiwan so they're still in the shitty copycat phase like their so called "next gen" air superiority fighters.
>>740056971For some reason they can't even do that right
>>740056901AI was pure acceleration though. It wasn't so much boiling the frog as dropping the frog straight into an active volcano.
>>740054647He isn't purchasing shit. He didn't pay for shit. Now the memory companies will look like retards if they have their extra stock with inflated prices.
>>740054676It will last because politicians really don't want to accept they were wrong to spend all that taxpayer money on AI shit, horrible sunk cost.
Who is spending money on LLM services to keep this gravy train propped up?
>>740054936it was already too late by faall of last year
>>740055612All the liberal western governments are also all in on AI though.
>>740057561Investors who have yet to ask about any returning profits
>>740054539It's not that simple. Lego Batman came out and it plays just like the Arkham series, but few fans rush to play it precisely because it doesn't have realistic graphics.
>>740056707>>740057582>mum both sidesThat's how you know the side in charge, who you voted for, is to blame.
>>740054465Nintendo and Sony are fine, PC gaming is fucked though.
>>740055983Watching /v/ go from a 50/50 split to a 95/5 split on it over the years was interesting
>>740054465because its not in anyones interest for ram to be cheap.at least not in anyones that matter.this is how they push goyim to cheap terminals with cloud compute.
>>740054465>you will live to die in the RAM warsGrim
>>740054465this and physical media are the two biggest forced memes currently
>>740056707That's a good point, usually (not just in America either) when an unpopular thing is bipartisan the other side will at least try and pretend to have some restraint in it, I've not seen that for AI, the only politicians speaking against it are doing it from an environmental perspective rather than how it fucks the people
>>740056901I wouldn't mind the labor being outsourced if at least they were paid better on average but they generally aren't since the whole goal is to save on costs and extract value like some sort of colonialism era dead ringer but without the murdering and most atrocities.
>>740054647Ram prices are set by a bidding system though.
>>740057561You, just not directly.
>>740057561Braindead investorsThe world's governmentsBraindead investors using money provided by the world's governments.
>>740057740I'm not American and if I was I would vote third party.Still happy it wasn't democrats though lol
>buy new (mirrorless) camera>want to buy SD card for it, remember that these used to get cheaper each year>same card I got two years ago (the VERY SAME 128gb UHS-II) cost 4 times as muchBut of course I am "luddite" for hating AYYY.
pic is people crying over ram prices when ddr4 exists>but muh vram8 gb is enough for 1080p
>>740054465>How come there isn't a bigger freakout?!Because games have sucked for like 15 years, I don't really buy anything new anywayalso I have 64GB RAM
They are actively killing the PC marketNormoids don't care since they're all on their phonesCoomsoomer PCs will die first then gaymen consoles then business/office shitboxes
>>740054585Low and mid end smartphones are already hit with RAM cuttings going from 8 or 12 down to 6 or 8. For normalfags this is just a number but eventually they will notice that things become more unresponsive.
>>740058118Nah, just consumer PCs, they want you on prebuilds and consoles.
>>740058094greedy fags raised ddr4 prices too
>>740058094Ddr4 prices have increased too. And regardless of vram, seems like every gpu manufacturer is set on pursuing AI meaning less gpus made for gaming and therefore increased prices.
Shut it peasants, you will be grateful your overlords get to enjoy the finest hardwares while you toil in the field for them.After me: THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE YOU
>>740058093it's not ai fault you're poor
>>740055696If the result is the same of GPUs, we're fucked
>>740058060They couldn't do push back since the reds currently control everything.Also third parties are a wasted vote under the current voting system.Bernie's on top of things, as usual. It's a matter of getting the people to listen.Until then, video games costs will continue to increase.
>>740058278Found the altman bootlicker
>>740054465
>>740058351Berniebean...
Big chillin with my 3070ti + 32gb I'm good bb. Watchin the downfall comfy :)
>>740054465China will step in to fill the gap, u ironically, and at the same time bring down the larcenous consumer ram prices.
>>740058498The ram may last you, but when that gpu dies you're fucked
>>740054465So what you're saying is current PCs will be good enough to play games until 2036 at the earliest. This is amazing news.
>>740058517Ehh current GPUs at any given point are always 2 gens ahead anyway, diminishing returns hit like mf for anything above 30 series atm, I got mine for cheap. And if they end up skyrocketing I'll just buy used.
YOU WILL OWN NOTHING
>>740057723not because it's low on content, awfully optimized, and pricey to boot?
>>740058368Not really, Altman did it
>>740058669.......a-and I will be happy? R-right, Mr. Schwab? I'LL OWN NOTHING AND I'LL BE HAPPY RIGHT?! RIGHT?!?!?!?! KLAUS!!! HERR KLAUS!!! KLLLAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUSSSSS!!!!
>>740058739"We're not that kind of business."
>>740058669>>740058739Under the current regime they've outright said. You will own nothing and be miserable.
>>740055985>>740054585>>740054465Is the bubble popping, genuine question?
>>740058739>questioning your overlords
>>740054465Like I give a shit
>>740058909no, it's going to get worse
>>740058960when will it fucking pop?
>>740058909It's going to get significantly worse before it gets better
>>740058909Holding for now but with companies actually investing in physical goods in the form of datacenters instead being a mostly hype machine fueled entirely by investors and promises, expenses are rising and profits are still not being generated to justify themselves.When you start seeing mass cancellations of datacenter constructions, that's the bubble about to pop.
>>740055612No, you don't understand. I voted for bad things to happen to OTHER people, not ME.
