    This is kinda my thoughts too. I have a generally “OK” setup now. 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5-6400 (I think it is 6400 anyway), and a 3080. Should be fine for now. At least to wait and see if we’re:

    • Totally cooked and will eventually be forced to compute on the cloud
    • Things return to some level of normality as the AI hype bubble bursts and people start using it as a genuine tool and not the panacea for all of our problems that needs the insane level of investment it’s been given lately.

    Hell, if the bubble bursts hard enough there might be some cut price action, just like all those juicy cheap enterprise HDDs we could get during the covid times. Maybe wishful thinking though.

    Just remember who screwed you over if/when they come back to consumers, cap-in-hand.
