Yeah, there seems to be an upper limit on LLMs.

This is interesting, but I think Grummz is missing something. This isn't bad news for gamers, it's potentially good news. For a long time now, big developers have been using graphics as a crutch. They've focused on aesthetics instead of story and game play. If hardware is going to remain more static, it should force them to make better games instead of tech demos.
It reminds me a lot of Critical Drinker's recent discussion of "The Avatar Paradox". (Video below the tweet.) A lot of modern games/movies are all flash and no substance.
This could shake up the gaming industry in a good way.

Did you screenshot the amazon ram? If so, was it sold by amazon, or a third party that's just marking it way up in the hope someone buys it?
Artificial Intelligence
Not my screenshot, but Prime delivery is available, so probably Amazon.

I went to check that Amazon price, and the product isn't even available. I'm guessing it was a 3rd party (Prime delivery can just mean it's in Amazon's warehouse, despite being 3rd party supplier)
It's not me, it's someone else.

Did someone buy it?
My X feed this morning is all about the skyrocketing cost of RAM. GPUs were already skyrocketing. Both industries are leaning into AI and away from consumers. We need new players in both industries.

I mean, chip fabs are REALLY hard to make. Why would you sell to consumers when a single data center will buy 5000 of your product? (or more)

Totally agree, but now there's a market open for someone else. It'd be smart to get in now and earn gamer good will before the AI bubble bursts and all the current companies come back.

For common folk, yes. However, Elon is apparently getting into the game. The hurdles might not be as large for him.
The why is obvious as gamers can be a loyal lot. They're being abandoned by NVIDIA, AMD, and others. Make affordable hardware for them during this time, and once the inevitable happens and some of those companies reverse course, you've already won the market.
Also, I'm not saying this all would be easy, quick, and so on, but the opportunity is there.
Education is not an indicator of intelligence.

That's kinda my point. Like it kinda used to be.

Not really true. The EGS gives out free games constantly and still do not have the loyalty or user base that Steam does.
Corporations need to pull their heads out of their asses and realize price isn't the end all be all of purchasing decisions. If you sell shit and/or don't stand behind it, you will lose customers. Ask Gateway.

But the EGS also sucks balls.
If products are roughly the same, people don't care.

Ha! Fuck Macs. "I would like a PC, but with only 10% of the software available, no real freedom for me to customize it, treats me like I'm low IQ, doesn't have hardware as good as actual PCs, and I'd like to overpay for it. Oh, and if possible, can you add a mode where I can run Windows, which is a complete admission that Mac sucks, but I'll claim it makes them superior?"
There's a billion examples in the world where brand names>generic, and we're not just talking about the rich and famous blowing money on $1000 jeans.
Consumer loyalty matters. If you treat people like shit, they're never going to know that your new product is the same or better than the competitors because they're never going to buy your brand again.
Strong disagree.

They are pretty. The hardware is dramatically better. iOS is meh. But for a few certain things (editing movies/photos/music), it's amazing.
