IDK, a lot of that data center AI hardware is built to self-destruct after a few years. It's going to take time for the factories to retool before we see prices drop back down.

Oh, so there's a 40% chance he's a wife beater as well.

Don't worry, the America's free market provides many paramilitary groups to shutdown those pesky unions and curious journalists. No need for government involvement!

It's not even profitable though... At this point it seems it is just about control, like they would rather have a money pit then let independent workers, ie creatives, have any profit.

They want artificial employees to discipline the labor market but what they will get instead is a deskilled labor force and business structures that are even more resistant to adaptation.

When being a contrarian asshole becomes your marketing strategy.

Oh I am sure they planned and maybe even got the Saudis to consult. But I still think they are too stupid to realize the flaws of those plans. Even if they were as smart as they think they are, it's difficult to predict how things will work after the civilization they depend on for their power collapses. Hell, it probably doesn't matter how smart you are, such a scenario is inherently unpredictable.

Thing is, they need to bring their help and the help won't be happy if their families are left high and dry. These people are just too fucking stupid

But maybe if I use AI I can be wealthy. Sure it is accelerating climate change and will undoubtedly cost lives, but that is a small price to pay for me to horde money like a dragon.

I'm skeptical they could do it in a way that inherits stability from Linux. Imagine bolting on their service control on top of systemd or map their registry system to /etc. They either bring all the bad over to Linux or write something that doesn't support the windows ecosystem.

I'm going to call a spade a spade.

In the same spirit, Americans are more interested in telling themselves they are right than recognizing what is good.
