  • I mean… RAM? Don’t you need mass VRAM for this kind of thing? Or are they shared on Mac?

    idk how to calculate how long it pay for itself…

    You don’t… Not in this industry. You guess and hope it goes in your favor.

    No calculations matter if the market can jump or drop by 300% in a few months… And that applies to programming, hardware prices, AI subscription prices, regulations between countries when Trump is in office…


  • If you think long term as a company that uses AI that’s the way to go anyway, your own AI server.

    But alas, nobody cares about the long term, because the cunts at the top of the AI stack always make sure to make things so volatile that the little guy can never survive past the short term.

    The solution? Oh just pay the big corporations to be dependent on them and not build your own thing. Surely that will help.

    You have to realize, that by your own words, AI subscription prices will skyrocket eventually. So the cost analysis of your own AI server has to take that into account too, not just the current prices and current upfront cost.
