Can’t happen soon enough. Few people want AI and now it will fuck over a bunch of people very directly. No idea how long the investors can keep inflating this bubble now.
the problem is that governments want AI for their surveillance bullshit, especially FSA. they will never let any of these companies fail, and in fact will have no problem blowing $Xbillion of taxpayer money to bail them out
also the fact that teh AI, like palintir can be programmed to be biased against “dissent” like protesters against israel, or palestine targets, or against the state, rather than “domestic terrorists”
Local and self controled AI has some really cool applications. When I can afford it, replacing my home security cameras with something that stays local and not sent to the cloud is on my list of things to do. When I do that having a local AI do image recognition and tying it into my home assistant setup will be a cool project.
You don’t think China sees the vacuum left from the current players exiting consumer markets? The protectionism playbook that the US has run is catching up to bite us in the ass, which will be accelerated now that China has EUV.
That and I expect used enterprise hardware to continue to be sold. I have an old hotel check-in computer as my current router running OPNSense.
China “has EUV” lithography in the same way ASML had it in 2001:
ASML built its first working prototype of EUV technology in 2001, and told Reuters it took nearly two decades and billions of euros in R&D spending before it produced its first commercially-available chips in 2019.
They are still an awful long way behind the west in this regard.
Sure, it probably wont take then as long, but its still misleading to portray “China reaches milestone a western company did a quarter of a century ago” as being equivalent to catching up.
They already planned and built many data centers by then and will use them. It‘s going to be cloud services all the way. Desktops or even capable phones will be a thing of the past as everyone expects you to source out computing power to a subscription service. We will own nothing. It‘s peak capitalism.
When this all crashes to the ground it’s going to be ugly.

Yeah you need hardware for that. They’re making it so we can’t get hardware and we can’t self-host.

China isn’t pioneering the technology. They aren’t operating in a vacuum. They won’t have to wait 20 years to make it all work.

So when that happens… Is there gonna be like a memory auction? Will I have to buy a whole ai training rig just to get the RAM?
I’ll just take your best guess.
there will probably be a flood of cheap hardware/server equipment flooding the second hand market, yes
Keep that powder dry for the cheap RAM when the pendulum swings back.
