@doraii @davidrevoy Nah, SSDs are about twice as expensive as they were 3 months ago.
GPUs... well.@drgroftehauge @davidrevoy Just checked my nigh 5 years old budget laptop (i3, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 720p screen) and HOLY SHIT, it's $330 to buy a used one!

Not sure if I'll include this new Krita brush I created specifically for this episode in my upcoming brush pack, but it's fun to play with
️🦜🦜🦜 While I'm here, check out the timelapse: https://www.peppercarrot.com/0_sources/miniFantasyTheater/making-of/040.mp4 This time, I took a more traditional approach: sketch, inking, painting the background, and then characters. Along the way, I think I found a good preset for inking.
@davidrevoy Finally, the perfect tool for making AI (Avian Intelligence) Art!
It's even a nice red for making one of them No AI

@ooignignoktoo @mangeurdenuage Et oui, tout est misé sur le "Too big to fail" et sous-tirer de l'argent publique pour perfuser cette industrie qui ferait trop mal si elle s'écroulerait...
@davidrevoy @ooignignoktoo @mangeurdenuage trop mal a qui, vraiment? La plulart des gens autour de moi ont déjà perdus leurs boulots dans les deux dernières années. Ils se reorientent dans des secteurs hors de la tech, qui n'engage plus autant. C'est une arnaque de ponzi qui ne sert qu'à extraire encore plus de ressources de la majorité de la population pour les réinjecter dans les mêmes poches déjà trop pleines.

@davidrevoy I was wondering if you drew each and every one of those

@davidrevoy Such a true, but sad story.
-
@davidrevoy the sad thing is, at least they produced the extra avian intelligence units.
the gpus and datacenters irl, on the other hand, have not been produced and yet they already have such a drastic impact on prices...
@davidrevoy @rgbunny and before someone very smart comes along and pretends that soon we'll just have more 3nm clean rooms to produce enough wafers for everyone... that stuff takes like 5 years and that's if you can actually buy the tooling and have the money, so it's more like a decades.

@davidrevoy This might be the ONLY "AI Brush" I would ever use lol.

@davidrevoy
Casting the "ai" as a mechanical *parrot* is freakin genius!@kitkat_blue @davidrevoy, hmm, they're the wrong colour. They should be grAI.

@bit me too. 🥲
That's what inspired this one, btw: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1117/the-ram-nightmare-how-i-lost-my-sanity-and-almost-my-deadline
@davidrevoy @bit, hah. Been there twice, done that twice… and the third time, the cause of the random crashes was an old, sufficiently degraded PSU.
I think that it's safe to say that you will run memtest much sooner next time.
(Incidentally, I have a terminal window in which I'm running “dmesg -Tw”. It's occasionally VERY useful.)

@davidrevoy The demand is going to skyrocket any day now. That's why it's so crucial that they stop producing consumer-oriented magic stones altogether to free up resources.

@davidrevoy You mean there are other ways then AI to work more effectively? (sarcasm)

@davidrevoy this is a bad analogy, the datacenters these companies are hoarding all of this RAM for haven't even been built yet (and for that matter, I don't think the RAM has even been produced, either)
At least the Avian Intelligences are already actually made, even if they're going to just end up a total waste -
@davidrevoy “All of them are already sold. Plus, all of the future stones scheduled for the next years are currently sold out, too.”
@TritTriton @davidrevoy
But they've been paid for with gold that doesn't exist yet, linked to cauldrons that haven't been built yet, to solve problems that no one has created the spell for. -
@davidrevoy Well, if a magic stone used to be worth 40! gold coins, at 600 gold coins they are now much cheaper…
