I looked recently and a new Macbook 128gb ram was £5500 which was expensive for me but I could consider it! Now it’s £7000 which is absolutely ridiculous. AI is useful but it’s sucking everything out of the economy and destroying it at the same time…
- byzantinegene 3mo agoit's destroying consumption before destroying jobs, which is somehow even worse than initially imagined
- ericd 3mo agoHa, that’s about how much our first computer was, with 128k of RAM. Nice symmetry to it.

- andy_ppp 3mo agoI’m part of the problem!
- ulfw 3mo agoIt's really not that useful for the vast majority of people if we are being honest
- oxzidized 3mo agoYes, based on my personal experience, it is much more harmful than helpful to the majority. Most seem to be determined to completely replace their need to think, as opposed to just supplementing or augmenting their thinking with AI.
