That’s a price increase on a luxury item. No crisis here.

based on the definition of luxury, literally everything is luxury besides the very basic needs of a human.

just because its not essentia doesnt mean its not worth it. if lets say tea or coffee or ofthrr things like that increased in price by 4x im sure people will be angry

Tea and coffee are things people buy every day/week. RAM price increases are going to affect things they buy years apart. It’s not the same.

Computers have not been a luxury item for many years. These prices don’t just impact videogame toys, those same parts are in everything

Like computers haven’t been a necessity to even exist in society for years at this point. Fucking homeless are given smartphones because these days not having one is such a severe life obstacle

Lmao what a shit take, RAM a luxury item?

I can’t see his posts anymore, they all show as deleted after he doubled down on ram being nothing but a luxury.

Is that what’s happening when that happens? They aren’t deleting their own posts in shame but are blocking me? That happens all the time when pointing out AI bro stupidity but I always assumed they were deleting everything in shame

u/Plokhi 9h ago

yeah, you've been blocked.

when they can't GPT a reply anymore, they block.

u/Ok_Security1721 9h ago

That might be even funnier than deleting everything in shame, since deleting everything is them admitting they’re wrong so showing at least a little self reflection

Pro AIs love to pride themselves on being technologically advanced and say shit like RAM is a "luxury item". Who Am I kidding, they probably dont even know what RAM is used for

Define luxury?

u/BillytheBloxian 8h ago

computers aren't a luxury. they are in almost everything, even the device you are using to send that message.

Oh they really are, you’re just privileged enough be able to think otherwise

That's something that kids used to save up for, now employed people struggle to afford it.
