Tech is expanding, just not with the same number of workers. AI is going to replace a lot more jobs in 2026. If you are in tech, you are on your own. Get a claude code, Gemini, OpenAI, or Grok account and do your own thing.
How exactly are you supposed to "use the Netflix app" if you are at a hotel or another place that doesn't have it? If you make it too hard to use the legal content, people have other options. If you BitTorrent the content you don't have to deal with this bullshit.
It's not tariffs, it's AI datacenters. OpenAi basically bought up 40% of the wafers from at least 2 companies (possibly all of them). Google, Anthropic, and Grok are also going to need huge amounts. their pockets are much deeper than ours...
I was just out buying up ddr5 ram today... I found few places that had not yet raised prices. People are just figuring out that most of the RAM is being diverted to datacenters. I just bought about 512GB before this happened... thinking about selling some to buy a dgx spark
lol... dude. It's already amazing at coding. It can solve math problems better than most engineers or people with a bs in math. It writes better than 99% of the population. there are a limited number of things that AI does worse than humans, but for the rest, it's a fucking genius.
I have an s24 ultra and initially i thought it would be something useful... not so much. I use AI all day, every day (around $300-500 worth of claude code credits per day) plus grok, openai, and Gemini. The local models arent' really all that useful right now.
