Going to be fucking hilarious when all the western companies get fucked by China taking over the market they don't seem to care about.
Hmm I know China has a big push for AI as well, I wonder what their market is looking like.
Edit: https://www.chinatalk.media/p/how-much-ai-does-1-get-you-in-china Ah seems like their AI isn't as big due to lack of access to western chips.
What's your source for that. China has no more reason to invade Taiwan next year than they have at any point in the last 30 years
Why would they need to invade Taiwan? They already have their own companies making RAM.
It's well known that Taiwan has all strategic factories mined. If a single Chinese soldier steps on the island, anything industrial of value will be blown to bits. China is interested in the land.
Don't count on China. They are going to invade Taiwan next year and the global trade embargo will be a rounding error to the destruction of the tmsc factories during that war. Or they will capture the fabs and prohibit export to the US. Loose loose for us.
"China, a country that hasn't invaded another country in 50 years, is going to invade this country" said the country that invades a country once a decade.
If they do it Trump strikes “a deal” to give them Taiwan. That’s my bet.
They've been going to invade Taiwan next year for the last 30 years
I don't understand this thing about anyone destroying those factories for any reason. I don't think that would happen.
AI is the last great bubble.
And it, like all bubbles, will pop.
You are already seeing the people in the know flee the field.
You see reports that every company that has adopted it has at best changed nothing, at worst lost money on it.
Outside of the psychotic linked in CEO bubble, literally no one wants AI. And every day its generating more and more hate due to its halucinations, mistakes, and bullshit.
Its garnering massive negative attention for its use, and for anyone stupid enough to adopt it at this point (cough intel cough)
Its a dying star, and people are frantically trying to harvest the last bits of warmth from it before going off in search of new horizons.
I can only assume you haven't used it for anything it's good at lately. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Just like we still have websites after the dot com bubble, there will still be LLMs after the AI bubble pops.
Certainly, but hopefully you won’t turn on your PC and have 50 popups and 10 different buttons blinking and getting in the way of each other begging you to try AI.
