| Good. The more expensive memory is, the more everyone will be pushed into using cloud AI from hyperscalars. They should each buy out a RAM manufacture, and make this the new normal. It really is the best thing for AI adoption and the shareholders. |

| No, this is not good, in any way, except for AI shareholders (of which I assume you are one, else not rational to support this position). Paperclipping here, greedily optimizing for shareholder value above all else. Please stop. |

| ▲ | dgellow a day ago | parent | next [-] | | To be fair, the AI boosters are saying the exact same thing but mean it seriously. There is no way to distinguish without a tone indicator | | |

| ▲ | dgellow 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Given the number of upvotes my comment got and the other comments where people missed the sarcasm, I wouldn’t be too sure that many people have no trouble distinguishing |

| If the shareholders are backing outcomes that make life worse for the rest of us, they deserve to lose money. |

| > and the shareholders. Your comment is an illustration of exactly what is wrong with this website. Given his preceding statements, I sincerely do not believe it is sarcasm. |

| ▲ | dijit a day ago | parent [-] | | I'm quite sure he's being sarcastic. "The best good ever is to maximise shareholder profits" is a tired and cliched caricature that some people unfortunately take seriously. But this is too on the nose. | | |
| ▲ | yoyohello13 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I’ve been on HN long enough to know that a disturbing number of people do actually believe that line and act accordingly. | |
| ▲ | unsui a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The fact that, on HN, you can't be sure of that, tells you all you need to know. | |
| ▲ | OutOfHere a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | I have the innate right to take what is said literally. Moreover, his preceding statements attempt to legitimize his concluding statement. | | |
| ▲ | palmotea 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | You also have the innate right to be off base, btw. It's sarcasm, and the main tell is I'm not even bothering with pretense; just serving up the dystopia straight and acting like that's good. But one of the "fun" things about HN is SV is so fucked up you can't even be sure someone doesn't actually sincerely believe that shit. And most of them are probably dumbasses with nothing to gain. | | |
| ▲ | OutOfHere 16 hours ago | parent [-] | | I appreciate sarcasm when it's clear. Marking it as "/s" prevents this whole line of discussion. As you noted in your last paragraph, it's hard to be sure without a marking. |
