Micron cites AI data center demand as reason for killing DIY upgrade brand.

Micron/Crucial has been my go to for years building PCs. This move just pisses me off so much. Fuck AI. It just keeps taking without giving anything in return. If the bubble can hurry up and pop already, that’d be great!

When the bubble pops or deflates, it'd be lowkey funny to see them go : "Heyyyy ! Remember me ? Good old Crucial ? I'm back on the consumer market !"

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
