This isn't sustainable. Almost all of our infrastructure runs on computers and eventually it will reach a point where you have a computer in charge of vital infrastructure that won't be able to buy replacement part and it'll just fail.

    nah all of the datacenters they build for AI, will come to use then. 

    they will say"Need computing? Don't worry, just rent from us, for an ever increasing and enshittifying subscription"

    We can't even get them to upgrade our infrastructure to the 21st century in some cases so good luck with that. We still got shit running on Windows 7 or even Windows XP.

    You can’t interact with a computer in the cloud though without some kind of computer in front of you.

    We'll just return to terminals. Just a screen, and input devices connected to a server :(

    Right but surely you still need a CPU and RAM at the very least to process the Remote Desktop connection.

    I bit of ram, but then I'd imagine you only need some purpose built chip for the connection, input and display logic. Effectively you'd need little more than a chrome cast-like device.

    Chips of any kind are the issue. All the silicon fabs are being diverted to cover these insane datacenter orders. Like they're backordered out over a year at this point. All to boost a tech bubble for a product that doesn't work

    Banks, insurance, and aviation all run on very well-tested established code, and are very, very resistant to change.

    But people who know cobol and fortran are getting fewer and further between, so they are slowly changing. Fortunately with modern software development practices, you can much more easily write verified software.
