An accurate assessment of the situation is curmudgeonly? It IS a complete waste of computational power, energy, tokens, everything which is a thoughtful criticism. Just blowing through millions of tokens for a pointless Reddit clone for LLMs is wasteful. All so we can have RAM prices triple in a year.

Who cares, it's fun. I'm sure you waste computer power in a million different ways.

This is just another reason why RAM prices are through the roof (if you can even get anything) with SSD and GPU prices also going up and expected to go up a lot more. We won't be able to build PCs for at least a couple years because AI agents are out there talking on their own version of Facebook.
