Oh, you didn’t?
I had to laugh. Some ad executive has a genius for hopping on bandwagons. when public opinion finally swings away from AI, any product without aluminum can claim “No Al”
Every guy named Al in shambles right now.
Weird.
We literally kicked someone from a call yesterday because his name just showed up as “Al” instead of his full name
I know a guy who changed his name to Allan because of how prevalent the topic of AI was getting in his messages
What did Al generate now!?
Al generated a massive income to support actions to help homeless people and stop new AI datacenters from being built in nature perserves.
Unfortunate though he chose to target a rival Al’s data centres instead of focusing on the important fight against Artificial intelligence
Al Jolson would be devastated.
It’s not even pure Al, but a ‘Weird’ combination alloy.
A ‘Weird Al’, if you will.
I’ll be That Guy and say that essentially every structural piece of aluminum in the world is an aluminum alloy. Pure aluminum is very soft and more difficult to manufacture into usable parts.
But pureer = gooder and less pureer = badder!?!!?
Would you care for some pure stainless steel?
Gross, you mean that MIGHTY PURE IRON that some dweeb infected with carbon
You are thinking of regular steel. Stainless steel may not even have any iron or carbon, so don’t worry.
My product is 99.999% pure stainless steel by weight.:0
Is it also toasted?
You can but it doesn’t suit itself for heat treatment, so don’t expect results.

Yeah, I would!
But aluminium puree is really weird to build with
I was being fececious, there’s a reason it was the bronze age and not the copper age
aka ‘slop metal’

my >70yo father says A1
Yeah, it’s that important.
TBF, Al might actually be a reason not to buy it in the unlikely case a similar one made of Cu was also available, as this one would have a higher thermal conductivity (and also more style!).
And also more price
See it as an investment in a non-volatile, hard-backed asset.
Will get you through another day when you sell the raw metal after you lost all your other life savings during the AI stock market crash!
Just shows how fucking stupid the blind zealotry is. AI has been around for a while and had some very good uses. All or nothing is a bad paradigm.
It doesn’t show anything of the sort. They would somehow slab an LLM AI interface even on HDD enclosures if they could and call it a “smart enclosure” and it would be nothing but a surveillance entshittification central.
There is a very clear reason why there is a backlash against everything called AI, it is because almost all of it is predatory surveillance entshittification projects forced upon consumers who never asked for it.
The “hur dur AI has always been around” is a fallacy which does not adress the actual problem.

And yet here we are: https://www.spigen.com/products/pixel-11-series-case-tough-armor-mag-fit
It would surely help if companies stopped slapping the AI label onto everything. I’ve seen washing machines and ovens claiming using AI these days. Being wary of this idiocy is perfectly reasonable.
I used to have a clothes dryer with a “fuzzy logic” label
Agree, but that said, if there was AI branding on any hardware I was about to purchase, I’d check and double check that it doesn’t send all my data to some cloud service.
As an old hat who actually know how LLMs work, it’s very tiering hearing these impossible claims made by corpo trash, and then seeing the “tech”-kids eating it up without question.
I think some people are missing your sarcasm
Doom uses so called ‘AI’. What everyone is really talking about is LLMs.
Things like deepl were previously called »machine learning« or »deep learning« and are now under the »AI« umbrella too. Doesn’t change that it’s useful and has been since long before the current AI trend.
The blind zealotry is just plain stupid.
The Canon 5D MK3 claimed AI Auto Focus way back in 2012, if i was inclined to search up more examples I’m sure i could find some from even before that. Thing is it sounds SciFi and Tech because it’s taken from SciFi Books.
