  • Oracle is building one of there several plans and even that one is gonna be years behind schedule. The rest are hardly more than a slab of concrete right now. So forget parting out computer hardware, they barely even have more than a couple of new buildings to sell off and so much debt that cannot possibly be paid because it depends on openAI suddenly having astronomical increases in revenue to even finish the existing plans.

    Other players might be further ahead but I suspect the biggest gain for the gaming hardware market will simply be the cancelation of supposed contracts to buy up things like RAM and the drying up of money to buy AI-specific GPUs, forcing NV to actually care a tiny bit about the gaming segment again.








  • I remember sometimes when I’d “crash” my bike between classes in college (actually just using concrete walls as an emergency brake because it was raining and my brakes weren’t maintained). From there until I finished the ride, I’d feel like the world was grey-scale and I was observing myself finishing the task of getting to my destination. I’d feel like it was stupid that the person in the body continued biking despite the non-functional brakes without making any changes how they were riding, but my conscious mind had no say in the matters, a prisoner to whatever stupidity the body chose to do. Fortunately that would go away shortly after parking the bike.

    Without any acute triggers, I also just often felt like an outside observer in things or things would feel like a dream. That was a pretty normal experience.

    After realizing I was dealing with DPDR, any time I had any minor change to my routine (like switching commuting method, changing work shifts, etc), I’d feel like I was suddenly plopped into the body I possessed and the memories of that body had been forced onto me and I had to pretend to try to be them because that’s what was expected. Granted, given I haven’t had that issue in about 2 years, at least I got that fixed.

    Being self-aware just makes it worse.








  • Nice try doxxer! What’s next? do you want my uncle’s sister’s maiden name? /j

    One time I had someone following behind me (didn’t look back, but I could hear them) while I was at college and I was confused why I was being followed (or if I was just imagining it). When I finally got to where I was going (probably about 1km away), the teacher finally told me they were following me because I walk fast and they basically took it as a personal challenge.
