To say that everyone involved in Anthropic, OpenAI, nVidia, Oracle, and the rest of the spicy-autocorrect bubble that surrounds these scum should be burned alive is AN INSULT TO FIRE

@digitalraven That's a 330% increase. That's way, way, way beyond anything I've seen which makes me wonder if this particular vendor is price gouging. Out of curiosity, have you shopped around at all?

@digitalraven that could be used for serious calculations in physics and chemistry. Imagine the amount of DFT iterations you could do on that thing

@digitalraven What a mess. They shouldn't be allowed to.buy up the whole global supply of RAM Like that out of curiosity, what research are you doing?

@digitalraven This is why I can’t understand the idea that groups that need this kind of computing wouldn’t just buy the hardware and learn to or find someone to manage it. A few months at September’s prices would pay for some ridiculously powerful hardware. A few months at today’s prices would pay for some ridiculously powerful and ridiculously overpriced hardware now. Too many people believed the marketing bull telling everyone to move everything to “the cloud”. People who don’t understand that they’re being led by salespeople also don’t have the foresight to understand how badly things can go, at least not until they go badly, like they have now.

@digitalraven Yep. We have to keep up with queries to the root and TLD nameservers, and the machines we need to do that have tripled in price in the last three months. I'm _really_ looking forward to this bubble bursting. I cannot express in words, how much I yearn for that day to arrive.

@digitalraven Our compute vendor warned us that after March 30 their prices are going up 250% and to order everything we need before then, so we scrambled to put in a $30M order by this week. Yesterday they told us they not only wouldn't be filling that order (we can try to resubmit it at the higher prices), but they won't guarantee they can fill anything at all for the rest of the year. Things is gettin interesting. #IT #SysAdmin #DatacenterLife

@digitalraven this is how AI solves climate change. If enough people die carbon output will drop.

@digitalraven I bought a used EPYC CPU + supermicro motherboard + 512GB RM combo å bit over å year ago for ~$1500. The same combo today? Capped to 128GB RAM, at $2500. 1/4 the RAM at 1.7x the price for one year older hardware. Oh and the hard drives we put in the server? Over 2x the price for the same capacity. The SSDs too. It's so bad.

@digitalraven I can see the BOINC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing , or similar, becoming more popular.

@digitalraven Don’t worry. When ChatGPT goes broke there’ll be loads of cheap RAM as the insolvency firm tries to monetise the assets.

@digitalraven We are getting quotes that are now only good for 4 days. Not even 4 business days. So if they send the quote on Friday afternoon you have to purchase by Monday.
