Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce modelsEnglish
5·5 months agoYeah, luckily in Australia, we are getting Chinese stuff without massive tariffs.
I see BYD cars everywhere.

This would be a massive own goal for the existing incumbents.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory DoctorowEnglish
2·6 months agoThe last bailout was required because the banking system was the artery of the economy.
As irresponsible as they were, they needed to be functional to allow the economy to function.
It is hard to see how the government can afford to bailout the “AI” sector.
It is also not critical to the economy. In fact, you could argue the bubble is costing the economy in terms of opportunity costs, increased energy prices, consumer prices for laptops, hard drives, etc.
My view is while they may want to bailout their tech bros friends, I’m not sure it is possible.

Technology@lemmy.world•Moral Panic and Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban: A Critical Youth Work PerspectiveEnglish
91·6 months agoI don’t have a problem with a social media ban on young people in theory.
We have multiple studies which show the negative impacts on young people of social media.
My issue is how such a law is implemented. It requires mass collection of user data and surveillance.

Technology@lemmy.world•Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubbleEnglish
11·9 months agoProduction must equal Consumption plus investment.
An excess of production leads to companies closing down.
Reducing consumption (via getting rid of workers, reducing wages, etc.) will lead to an imbalance that must correct itself.
This can be forestalled by private debt, government debt or exporting the surplus but this is unsustainable.

Technology@lemmy.world•How Much Energy Does It Take to Power Billions of AI Queries?English
8·10 months agoSooner.
None of these AI applications are making money and unlike earlier IT companies (Amazon, Google search, social media site, etc ), the marginal cost of each additional user isn’t near zero.
They are having to invest hundreds of billions to cope with demand for applications which lose money on each use.
It’s a $50 billion dollar industry priced as a trillion dollar industry.
