Picked up a used Gigabyte HD 4850 with Zalman aftermarket cooler for $10. The Zalman cooler kept temps at just 53°C — massive difference from my previous HD 3850 that hit 106°C! Tested on a Core 2 Duo rig with GTA SA, CoD4, Crysis and more. Full video here: https://youtu.be/0ORqQPk7kjs

Yeah, I’ll go one step further: if I see any evidence of AI slop being used in someone’s work, I dismiss the work and don’t engage it further. That’s people’s water, being chugged by those data centers, for mediocre and untrue bullshit. It directly harms people.

Put the AI in the garbage and use actual elbow grease and real thought.
