    Wait til all these projects crash, burn, and get liquidated. Gonna be an amazing secondary market for brand new, unused bulk hardware.

      Not really. They’re not making consumer grade stuff, they’re making hardware for data centers so unless you’re planning on doing a DIY data center you’re not buying the hardware. Hard drives are likely an exception.

      You’re more likely to see cheap VPS services than cheap secondhand hardware.

      But you won’t be able to afford it because the market crash means you lose your job.

        I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.

          Don’t you worry it’s gonna have a global impact againjudt like it did in 08. Imagine losing your job in Italy for instance cause some bankers got ultra rich in the US. What a dumb fucking world.

            Ha! Jokes on you. My state is so poor it was the least affected by the 2008 crisis. Wait, that still sucks, only more…

            I don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.

              A bunch of my friends were made redundant. Some had visas dependent on their work, employer sponsored and had to leave Australia. Heck, we call it the gfc as an acronym. We just didn’t have a general recession.

          It’s not if but when. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And you’re a fool if you think the implications won’t be felt around the world. Just like they were when Americans rammed the housing market into the ground. We live in a global economy.

          Yep, either way, your job is toast.

          AI succeeds: AI takes your job.

          AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.

          Meh, not really a full collapse. Just like 75% of it and a huuuuge recession. Or maybe a “Tiny Depression”? Basically, 10 years to recover. Which is where we’re going anyway, with or without AI.

            10 years on top of the generations to recover from economic and social policy being shat out by a deranged geriatric.

      Yes, of course

      Except, i doubt anyone will be doing much with a 32 code Xenon CPU Windows snobs cant even run Windows on without a super giga 1000€ license for more than 16 Core CPUs

      And the cuda only fanless and outputless GPU will also be kinda useless, especially because they all need a special setup to force feed air through the entire rack to not overheat

        I’m not using Windows servers at home but if I did then a license wouldn’t be a factor when deciding what hardware to buy.

          And on top: ROK ISOs by hardware vendors by HPE (and probably lenovo) don’t have the trial time limit and can be run indefinitely without a license.
          You only need to satisfy the requirement of running a supported motherboard during boot of the iso.
          Well…Too bad that I can (unlike in ESXi) modify the manufacturer string in proxmox to say whatever I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I mean it’s 64/128/256 cores for home/pro/workstation so not really. People buying aftermarket server parts that want windows can probably figure out how to type irm https://get.activated.win/ | iex if they don’t want to pay for it anyways lol.
