Yeah, the RAM shortage is definitely to blame on Electron. Won't someone please think of the poor AI companies who have to give an arm and a leg to get a single stick of RAM!
I wouldn't mind so much if they were giving their own arms and legs, but they seem to be giving ours.
If you have a better way of generating videos of absurdly obese Olympic divers doing the bomb from a crane, I'd love to hear it.
Tbf isn't AI mainly used to code electron apps by shitty companies?
