  • Frankly, I don’t see how killing baby Hitler is not… extremely obviously morally superior to molesting baby Hitler.

    You can kill anybody nearly instantly.

    ‘Molestation’ implies… over a signifcant amount of time.

    It also implies that this is done in lieu of directly killing baby Hitler.

    So you’ve now generated an even more fucked up Hitler.

    Who will… regardless of how their time travel affrcted lifepath plays out… well they’ll have been molested. As a core memory.

    That… seems to me to be less moral, causes more Hitler-suffering, unnecessarily.

    You’ve minimized total suffering, via killing baby Hitler.


    … this is all assuming that just… doing either of these things somehow results in Hitler not coming to power, WW2 doesn’t happen, holocaust doesn’t happen.

    Frankly I also do not see anything near a guaranteed causality to ‘molesting baby Hitler’ -> ‘somehow WW2 does not happen’.

    Whereas it is at least semi-plausible that killing baby Hitler at least could result in ww2/holocaust not happening… I guess the … Strasserists just stay in control of the Nazis? And do not have a strangely charismatic firebrand to massively expand the movement?

    So it also just seems very impractical, unlikely that molesting baby Hitler would achieve the presumably desired aim.

    And it also assumes that these are your only two possible actions.

    Of course the entire thing is ludicrous is the sense of hinging on perfect foreknowledge, and time travel, which is fundamentally paradoxical, and/or results quantum suicide/immortality type nonsense, and/or in the Red Alert timeline.

    Oh god, and we essentially have to assume that this will be the only possible instance of time travel that ever happens, otherwise we potentially get into a kind of battling time travellers scenario ala whatever the fuck the Terminator series is doing now, and/or just a reality where many people can do time travel.


    Why not just do… teleportation, and either kill or molest Trump or Netanyahu, right now?

    I think I’d again conclude that telefragging them would be morally superior.







  • There… is only a single, mainline, broadly available RTX GPU with 32gb VRAM.

    It’s the 5090 RTX.

    Which came out in January of 2025.

    At an MSRP of $2,000.

    With many partner models considerably exceeding that, up to as high as $5,000.

    Not only is the pricing ludicrous, the timing is not possible.

    The only thing in 2024 or prior I can find with 32 gb vram is basically an unofficial mod or variant called the RTX 4090 D, that never left China, or, maybe it would be something like about as hard to find as a GRE variant AMD card in the US.

    I guess unless this person’s uncle works at Nintendo Nvidia, or something.

    Outside of that, we’re talking workstation/server type GPUs, generally with even more ludicrous pricing.

    This person is either very confused or very bad at lying.

    Also wtf does ‘maxed out the system ram’ even mean?

    You can get 128gb of sys ram into… most middle to higher tier mobos with 4 dimm slots. Many higher tier pc mobos can do 256gb.
