    The year is 2029. Trump is president and Ai has been implemented in life and government. Our phones and computers are not computers anymore, they are just screens that stream from the datacenters. All that is digital is owned by the government which is owned by the corporations. In fact, it’s now illegal to own a computer.

      But also you only get to have 4 hours of screen time a day because they can‘t afford or even build enough data centers in a timely manner. You suddenly get to meet up with friends and family much more often and doom scrolling is becoming a rare sight at the dinner table.

      I mean I‘m definitely not saying this is a good possible future but nobody can actually build and supply that many data centers within the next 3 years.

            If only. Yes, you can usually get it to admit it’s full of shit if you insist, but for most people just wanting a quick and easy answer it’s going to sound like it knows absolutely everything.

            Because they are not trained to be humble. They are trained to convince you they’re useful.

        And still taking my job because as it turns out our employers actually have very low standards and only kept yelling at us for the fun of the game.

    Any company who gets up and running focusing solely on consumer facing memory supply is going to make a fucking mint. There are only a few who could manage to do so right now, and they are unfortunately not likely to do so.

      I‘m really not a fan of chinese hardware for several reasons and think their reputation of tech prowess is overblown but they will definitely step up their game out of necessity. The question is if they‘ll just supply their own data centers and let end consumers left in the rain as well. I‘m afraid there simply won‘t be any affordable hardware for us this decade anymore.
