Great, so it'll take AI to set 16GB as minimum.
I still shudder that there are machines still being sold with 8GB RAM, that's just barely enough.
It's honestly crazy to think about that we used to say the same about 4GB only 5-7 years ago...
And the same about 2GB a measly 10 years ago...
5 years ago I used to think 32GB was great. Now I regularly cap out and start page filing doing my normal day-to-day work on 48GB. It's crazy now.
