Yeah, over the years I tend to spend about $200 on storage when I buy - it's just that the storage has been getting bigger and bigger for that price over the decades.

On the DDR4 RAM front, it looks like pre-2019 is where RAM was higher than it is today, in (broad market measured) inflation adjusted dollars.
That's what I was thinking: early COVID, and it's not so much about the price spike relative to where it was, but the absolute dollars per GB pricing which has been persistently falling for decades - I doubt you have to go past 2021 to get to higher prices per GB, and that was for slower speeds too...
My question is: how far back in time do we have to go to get to where RAM and SSD prices were this high (for a given capacity) in the past? Like 2021?
A - it's a bad semiconductor pun
B - who in their right mind would think that a transistor is a legitimate target of a lawsuit?
C - all "AI" is is a pile of transistors with various charge states representing the software layers. It was built by people, same as a Smith & Wesson 38, nobody is suing the guns for people they're killing, either, not even when they have fault sights and hit unintended targets.
Reread the thread and point out anywhere you get even the slightest impression that I disagree with what you just wrote...
And how is that false equivalence to an algorithm running on a bunch of transistors?
Sue a transistor, see how it conducts itself.
They don't need to ban AI, they need to enforce responsibility for "War Crimes."
Doesn't matter if you used AI to kill schoolgirls or not, the fact is: you were in command and you ordered a strike that killed schoolgirls. The transistor in the circuit board of the guidance computer is not liable, the human making the decision to go ahead with the strike is.
even more difficult days could be ahead
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
A snake that finds an entrance to a gopher burrow is hacking?
And the gopher magistrates are absolutely furious, I tell you!
Hard to know how all that will be playing out, a lot of the recent craziness has been a great excuse for China and other places to ramp up production to address loss-of-supply issues.
