  • Nvidia and Micron are making emotional appeals to consumers while PC users express frustration with big AI companies’ practices and self-serving motives.
  • Memory vendors predict DRAM and SSD shortages lasting until mid-2027, while new tariffs on advanced computing chips and potential Steam Machine pricing over $1,000 add to consumer concerns.
  • The article highlights how corporations use emotional messaging to mask financial interests, advising consumers to remain skeptical of such appeals.

Are they really able to replicate pornography like that? I know that for normal stuff, the videos are only under ten seconds or so.

You can get up to 12 minutes locally even if you're patient. Technically you can go way further if you do it in parts though, and use multiple generations. Might take a few weeks to "direct" it right though, depending what you want to make. If it's vanilla stuff, maybe 3 days for a 45 minute video on a 3090? (Via 3-5 minute chained segments, with smaller second long segments for smooth camera angle changes)
