what the fuck is a "AI PC"?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 46 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They get to put a sticker on that inflates the value by $600, then fill it with spyware.

Let's hope the consumers are smart enough to avoid these "AI" stamped computers

Found the shareholder.

It means “VC money now 🥺🥺”

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Microsoft is chasing VC money now?

[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 11 points 8 months ago

Not VC, more like hedge funds and institutional investors. But yes, all public companies work primarily for higher share prices, and then everything else. I've experienced a public US company paying more than a million USD to save 300k just so they can put out good articles about themselves that they kept promises to shareholders.

Branding. It's just saying it's capable of handling local models on copilot.

If I have to deal with Blockchain cloud computing IoT bullshit as a software engineer, I want everyone else to feel my buzzword pain in the tech they use.

I guess a PC with a graphics card?

The new 'VR Ready'

It's repurposed cryptocurrency architecture with a price hike. They have no video output, and you can string dozens of GPUs to a single motherboard to sell processing power online.

[–] SaltySalamander@kbin.social 13 points 8 months ago

It's comical how much you think you know but how little you actually know.

Nope.

They're just regular PC's with an NPU. These are consumer products they're trying to push. Like how they added the copilot key to keyboards.
