Every time you use an AI platform the company doing the processing losses money. Raw GPU performance (which is also raw AI performance) is not increasing fast enough to make it profitable.

Chip fabrication gains has been slowing down massively over the last decade. Compare a 1990 computer to a 2000 computer, massive advancement. 2015 to 2025, not nearly as much. More and more cost is now required for less and less gains on state-of-the-art chip manufacturing. This happens with all technology, it matures to a point where it plateaus.

AI requires '90s like gains to become profitable, that isn't happening anymore. So AI will find itself used in specialized areas (movie SFX, search, modeling, etc...).

Then why are Chines small business going under? I grew up in the US and live in Europe, no one buys as much cheap shit as the US. There is no other economy that can absorb what they are producing.

The big issue is the Chines economy falling apart. They never recovered from the Evergrande collapse and if they do under the world economy will be hit hard.

Web comics and podcasts still use it heavily. The Podcasting 2.0 stuff is great since Apple has let it languish since they were handed over the main index.

You sound like a Republican during the Obama administration.

Congress/senate controls the budget and can create laws, the president runs the government in accordance to the laws and budget given to him. Congress can make a law to limit what the president can do, but unless stated otherwise he is the CEO of the government.

If the SEC is under the executive branch then the president can do whatever he wants if it doesn't require a budget change. The next president can undo it just as easily.

Which bitcoin isn't as most people sold early or lost it. Other crypto with their ICOs are another story.

Jensen would only agree to that if he remained CEO. Which probably would have been a good thing for Intel, but I doubt Otellini would have stepped aside for him.

Where I live in the Balkans, almost everyone has AC.

If you have a small company, have a couple trusted employees (or the CEO) keep an encrypted disk at home and rotate it once a month or three.

Your are confusing mining with running a node. Anyone can run a node without mining.

Retail stores are dying especially for video games. The company needs to pivot to something else or die. This is no different than Woolworth becoming Footlocker Shoes.

This looks to be the engineers who left Intel after Pat Gelsinger killed Beast Lake. Beast Lake was the Jim Keller design that replaced SMT with rent-able units (rent-able units are where special hardware cores combine to be a single virtual core. Think the opposite of SMT).

Basic food like oatmeal and ground beef are cheap. The problem is people are buying more expensive food and sugary drinks. I volunteered at a food bank for years, the food wasn't expensive to make.

They don't understand what they give you, LLMs are just lookup tables with vectored scoring.
