@cstross@wandering.shop yup. UX development has a lot to answer for in terms of compute excess. The web 2.0 era similarly ate up a lot of performance.
The very idea that 32gb of ram might not be enough for a user like this even in 5years time is ridiculous to me.

@cstross my guess is the next era of wasteful computing is the local AI models. That'll drive another whole cycle of devices needing replacement for 128gb of integrated memory and NPUs for 'features' nobody actually uses or likes. Maybe it's time I get out of this industry already! Hah.
