“I’ve been saving for months to get the Corsair Dominator 64GB CL30 kit,” one beleagured PC builder wrote on Reddit. “It was about $280 when I looked,” said u/RaidriarT, “Fast forward today on PCPartPicker, they want $547 for the same kit? A nearly 100% increase in a couple months?”
Right, what you said, but I’d remove the part where it increases productivity.
It’s a win-win with staff layoffs. Businesses that want to lay people off have a convenient scapegoat and AI companies receive undeserved praise.
A win-win for everyone but the employees, of course.
Seriously. The amount of time spent handholding the AIs no one asked to use more than offsets any supposed productivity gains.
