Massive tax write offs on AI infrastructure will help, offset 100% of the costs against tax in the year of purchase. Then ongoing savings and having complete control too. Probably helps that Revolut are drowning in cash too 😂

It’s interesting, some businesses are using open source models, some are training their own models, and there’s a few who are starting to host their own AI infrastructure and making big savings...

@JP83 Refurb might be a good option. Very decent spec for the price and a one year warranty here: https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/refurbished-medion-bandit-p20-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-geforce-a1-10025479/version.asp 4060Ti will s**t all over a 3050.

Nope. We’re still in the “bait” stage of “bait and switch”

Case in point - Canva. Business built on providing simple templates for users to build their own content with. Well, they’re doomed then. Canva announces major job cuts after 'our hardest year yet' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw77pg7neydmo

He’ll be lucky. Prices have gone crazy. What does his kid want to play and are we talking new or used?

I gave it my absolute best shot on the SL swap, but @Rojer is determined to be “sensible” - whatever that is.

I saw that the other day, funniest thing I’ve watched for ages. BwaaaaaaapBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAP

Yep, absolutely. I’m AI-ing myself out of a job as we speak. I think the only thing likely to save me is that I have deep domain knowledge in a custom product which no LLM has much of a handle on. I’d hate to be a specialist in anything industry standard about now.

So. Much. This. The uses we’re finding for it at work are crazy, and it’s going to really start hammering some software companies. There are still issues to work through with an AI based tool deployment though, like who is responsible for security scanning and support? Who validates and owns...

I reckon they were targeting the PS6 and other future generation consoles, but that hardware has been delayed by memory and storage pricing thanks to the AI boom. Will be very interesting to see how it actually runs, given what they’ve shown off in the trailers. I just don’t see how they’re...

They’re incredibly powerful, but I don’t trust any of the AIs enough to let them do stuff like that with my login credentials. Especially not anything from Meta or x.AI

How much speed and data do you need? I’m on EE 5G, £13 a month, 600Gb a month. Obviously a lot depends on how fast the mobile network is in your area but I’m getting 200meg+ EE Unlimited Data SIM – Uncapped 5G Speeds – No Contract – Preloaded Until 4th March 2028 – Plug & Play Broadband for...

Honestly, I’m finding Claude incredibly useful. It takes all the drudge out of issue diagnosis and even when it’s wrong it’s usually close enough that I can get to where I need to be. It does mean that I reckon we could fire half the team, give the other half Claude licenses and get through the...
