Hot take - I'd rather not accelerate their demise. I want it to happen after Trump is (hopefully) out.
OpenAI pre-ordered 40% of yet-to-be-manufactured DRAM, causing a global shortage making memory very expensive, new laptops/phones to be shipped with less memory, and delaying projects like the Steam Machine.
They did it with money they do not have. So unless they manage to actually become profitable - they are going to get bankrupt very hard.
And Trump will bail them out.
I'm not suggesting the next president is going to be against corporate welfare. But maybe, just maybe, OpenAI will be associated so hard with Trump that the political beef alone will make him[^1] more inclined to let OpenAI take the fall they so dearly deserve.

While your use case may not suffer from the problem depicted in the post[^1], I don't think it's worth weakening the proposed etiquette for. If having a system that can reduce the generated garbage a person can inflict upon another means slightly-worse worded texts - that's a price I'm willing to pay.
[^1]: It does exhibit other generative AI issues - like the environmental impact or like how it makes you reliant on companies just waiting to start enshittifing the field - it does not suffer from the issue of forcing humans to read meaningless slop that no one bothered to write.
Unlike Dell, Asus did mention a few more details - the system will pack DDR5 memory, HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and 2.5G Ethernet. Exact details regarding the USB and HDMI port were not offered, however.
Isn't the amount of memory kind of a tiny bit more important than which generation it is?
Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired.
Floridaman is not making any excuses here. He can't. Because he's dead.
