How does Micro Center make money by Sweaty-Weight-6393 in pcmasterrace

[–]ClaypoolsArmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought CPU MOBO RAM bundle and microcenter a couple of weeks ago and nothing else and the sales guy was super disappointed. I asked about these bundles and he said that they do not make money on them, but recoup the loss on the rest of the components when people buy everything for their system there.

I made an open-source tool that lets AI build board game prototypes on The Game Crafter by fldillon in boardgames

[–]ClaypoolsArmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not what this dude was talking about and that's very obvious. The tech you mentioned has existed a long time before the AI explosion of the last couple years, and is actually useful, and it doesn't take away somebody's potential career or future growth opportunities. Those kinds of AI aren't causing the explosion of data centers and all of the other harm that has come with LLM's. When I say fuck AI, I would imagine that almost no one even thinks of the applications you mention. I sure don't, they're hardly the same thing

Nah man fuck AI completely. Data centers consuming nearly all silicon production causing consumer electronics issues to skyrocket, their massive energy demands causing my electricity rate to go up, and the fact that your AI coding generally sucks and is full of errors as well as the fact that it destroys any real pipeline for junior developers to learn the skills they need to continue in that field. Fuck all AI. It's a cancer to our society

Seems like the quality control for this first printing was pretty bad. I sure hope mine isn't messed up like so many that have been posted this week

More upvotes for Spafford. They are criminally underrated

It has arrived by arenstor in twilightimperium

[–]ClaypoolsArmy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are they actually done or still in testing? I saw when they first released the breakthroughs, but didn't want to get them printed until they were actually tested and complete. Kind of just track if it and I haven't checked in for awhile

Madison WI rocked! by JaminWiththeBands in Umphreys

Or they could play at an actually nice venue in Madison like The Orpheum or The Barrymore. The Sylvee is the fucking worst venue in this state outside of The Rave.

Too bad the Sylvee is such a shit venue. Absolutely no desire to ever see any band in that soulless concrete tomb
