What's new in the last 3 years?

The AI idiocy sadly isnt likely to die down soon. I see YT channels created all the time with it.

These channels are typically made by non-english speakers, and seemingly spit out content automatically to try and make revenue from YT. Some aren't so malicious, but others are almost literally Wikipedia articles read by AI voices over stock footage with the a few clips or images of the Actual topic thrown in to keep sensical.

Kinda ticks me off to see history or science -focused content creators (who actually put in the time and work on their videos) get their content or idea partially stolen by a largely automated AI factory that mass -produces content to flood everything.

Most of these channels are easy to spot and ignore, but it still makes me sick to think that, once upon a time, the internet was about free information, not money or fame. Now everyone wants both, and think AI is the way to get it.

It feels like the current AI spending is a huge waste of capital and productivity. AI in general is a very important technological advancement... but for now the real good AI is not the generative LLM chatbots. It's all the stuff that is being designed for specific targeted uses and not these mass market chatbots.

What does QLC stand for?

Quad Level Cell NAND had a lot of drama around it's performance and stuff

yeah QLC is news to me. Last I heard of was TLC.
making QLC SSDs ideal for users who need large storage at a lower cost, such as for data archiving, media storage, or backups.

I never thought I'd heard "data archiving" and "SSD" go together. Is this just a poorly written part of the article? I'll still trust my HDD for long term archiving/storage, especially not hooked up to power regularly.

It's insane how generative AI (especially video and image) has so drastically changed the internet quality in the last year. A couple years ago if you search for a sequel to a movie, that wasn't made, you'd get some BS articles claiming it's about to happen... now you get movie trailers, movie posters, all promoted as top results making it look like there is an official sequel already... but there isn't.

At least with YouTube they allow me some control over what the algorithm tailors for me, but facebook is such much garbage. I don't use a lot, but they don't let me disable the shorts/videos on my "feed" and 99.9% of them are just featuring AI crap that has no value outside of fantasy.

The scary part with youtube AI stuff is now I'm seeing the "AI summary" of google search is linking to clearly AI pump and dump youtube videos as their source for answers... while it is possible those videos are giving the correct information, they are not proper work like the videos that came before them. AI quoting AI quoting AI.

side note: as someone who made a lot of youtube content myself, it's amazing to be able to get compensated for your work... but it was also amazing that feeling of doing things purely because you love being able to share that interest with other people. Those two things are very hard to coexist. In modern society it's hard to give anything away for free knowing that someone else is profiting off of that without compensating you.

100TB+ SSD do exist at the enterprise level, best spinning rust is something like 50TB.

Not damaged by vibrations (earthquakes, moving them etc. Story years ago about moving a datacenter across the street with carts and the vibrations killed drives) 16:40ish patrick from serve the home talking about it.

lower power draw than spinners

Not only high capacity but higher density, so can fit more SSDs into the same phyiscal space as spinners

SSDs are very much being used for archival purposes.
