A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This makes me really sad & concerned for the future of modern computation.
It's obviously planned obsolescence for the sake of suppression pertaining to the masses.
That was always the case. This PC replaced my 1150 socket intel PC, which had new CPUs made for it from Q3 2013 to Q3 2014. AMD at least keeps their sockets usable for a couple of years before they change them.
1150 was superceded by 1151. Those are the number of pins on the header by the way, so they had to add one extra pin because it was obviously stifling innovation.
The last time I upgraded my CPU was at least 8 years before I upgraded my GPU which was about 5 years ago..lol
You're right, my socket allowed me to get a much better model.
I know about pins and sockets, btw. But for the other readers, thanks for explaining ;)
Aye, figured it was worth noting that they obsoleted it because they absolutely had to cram in that one extra pin! You can't convince me that they didn't do that just to fuck with people.
