When this all crashes to the ground it's going to be ugly.

Damn so we really aren't always going to have calculators :'(
Watch this not ever really even touch the mobile phone market. The only computer they want you to have access to is the one they fully control...
replies:
Data centers will consume..
No, data centers that are slated to be built say they'll consume. If they don't get built because they run out of funding or the bubble bursts, then they won't consume. They're trying really fucking hard to make fetch happen.
replies:
It's not a shortage, it's billionaires hoarding the existing supply.
replies:
Hold on while I use AI to create an image of a dog in a funny hat!
replies:
Big brands already said Fuck you consumer, we're gonna sell to the big boys.
It only saddens me that when the AI bubble bursts people will still buy stuff from the likes of Micron when they start supplying the plebes again.
replies:
Only good LLM is a deleted LLM, same goes for capitalists.
...What forces defend these datacenters? Could a platoon of motivated civilians armed with pump action shotguns carry all the RAM out of one?
replies:
Except there are zero contracts in place to actually build those data centers, nor is there enough power generated to run them. I really wish tech journalists would do the background to determine if what these documented liars are saying is even possible, never mind likely.
replies:
Maybe we should manage these supply chain bottlenecks with AI.
Can we start to burn serverhalls?
replies:
Yeah, so this is the part where the market regulates itself? Y'know, the part where ultra billionaires just dump money by the boatloads to buy up stuff that everyone needs?
Capitalism will ONLY work if we put hard caps on how much wealth a single person can hoard. Billionaires shouldn't exist. Millionaires shouldn't exist. There is no need for them and there is no human right somewhere that says that you really van become one.
Any wealth over 1 million should be taxed 100%, doesn't matter the country.
With that, we can say goodbye to hundreds of problems that plague the world, including this one
replies:
And nobody cares enough to do anything about, not even the consumers. Meta is building a new AI and data facility larger than disney land. They have the money thanks to face book and instagram.
But you tell people, "hey if you care maybe do the simplest thing and quit using those products", and all you get is push back. Even here on Lemmy. They would rather their lives be worse than take the slightest inconvenience.
replies:
Who will end up holding the bag?
replies:
SOOO let's start some new companies to increase the supply... ? Obviously?
replies:
Doesn't help they literally said they would stop producing chips and that they have done so.
AI revolution is so great
We need a Breaking Bad-type scenario with memory chips.
Just a heads up. 91 billion in data centers is held up by local politics. Won’t be built. So expect this to soften the Ai market.
Let me write that down…
I believe that if these AI hyperscaler facilities can’t get built or can’t pay their bills, the ram will likely not be usable for consumers if they get foreclosed on, since these companies are directly buying silicon wafers since it’s a cost cutting measure, so if they’re not built, most wafers could just stay like that, and if they are changed to work in their servers, I fully doubt they’ll use modules, since they could’ve just bought modules to save endless downtime before the facility actually starts making money for them.
