[QUOTE="Belen, post: 9832939, member: 1405"] Let's be honest. The current gen AI is being forced on the public. The companies are using it as a cover to reorganize. They are not getting rid of that many people. They are just sending the jobs elsewhere in order to increase profits. Meanwhile, the AI companies are in debt with a bubble that will burst and wipe out a few trillion in wealth. They are just trading cash between themselves hoping no one will notice. My guess is that they will force bailouts. Let's look at the current DRAM crisis. The companies are sitting on the hardware to deny their competitors access. OpenAI bought 40% of the entire DRAM supply for data centers they cannot build due to lack of sufficient electricity. [LIST] [*]Nvidia just announced that they will bring back the RTX 3060. The ....3060.... [*]No GPU refresh for the 50 series and the current 5090 will be 5k [*]Microslop is going to force agentic Windows OS.....that does not work [*]Samsung just announced that they do not have ram for TVs and home appliances [*]Apple is setting up semi-permanent quarters overseas to try to secure LTAs for ram [*]ASUS announced massive price increases [*]Micron will end its consumer business [*]New console generation has been delayed for 2-3 years [*]$200 DDR5 is now going for $900-$1500 [*]FYI: The Ram manufacturers are not going to increase or build supply [*]There is not actual supply shortage because they are sitting on warehouses of supply waiting for things to be built [/LIST] This is all for tech that cannot achieve a consistent success rate with a required infrastructure that does not exist. I love technology and always have but what is happening now is insane. Sorry if off-topic, but this all drives my avoidance of any AI generated content. I will not even buy books any longer unless from a reputable publisher and I have friends who self-publish on Amazon. [/QUOTE]
