He's grasping at straws to try and prevent the AI bubble popping.

The fear of being sent this image is what's forcing me to learn to how Gimp ~~Photoshop~~

nice meme, a bit of cognitive dissonance with ai generated image tho

It's their money the OP was spending. OP is helping, so long as he is not paying.

And the reason is people making slop like this meme without a second thought.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Slop memes are not even a drop in the bucket

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Nobody said slop memes.

They said people making slop like this meme.

All of it is slop. Most of it is low effort bullshit like this.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I didn't say slop memes, and personal use definitely influences their success, otherwise they wouldn't bother with it.

I actually find it interesting to see that they seem to have skipped the whole "everyone needs an AI subscription for their everyday tasks"-phase and went straight for "technology isn't for the serfs" angle.

Guess that happens when a case of collective insanity proves that you don't need any working business model to get rich, just enough idiots to pump an endless bubble.

Gonna sell my extra ram to China out of spite.

Good, I just bought 32gb of RAM yesterday. Sorry, Sam!

[–] mamg22@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

How do you feel having one less kidney?

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 21 hours ago

So far so good, I have a second!

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How's the park bench after you've spend 2 million dollar on a 32gb ram?

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Lol, I bought used DDR4 SODIMM for $190

It's still perfectly good! In fact, some folks go as far as making DDR3 systems nowadays.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 points 22 hours ago

Nice, i bought 16gb ddr3 ram for my old pc and it's like a fraction of the price. Still play modern game pretty okay.

Comrad, that RAM is meant for the greater good. Drop it off at your local data center. If you don't have a local data center, wait a week or two.

[–] DataCrime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

Time to pry off the 1MB BIOS chip and sell it.

[–] chewypoops@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Yes, the meme is slop, but of OP made it using a local model it would be pretty based.

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Oh boy I need to bury those 32GB sticks
