too bad there isnt much of competition outside of nvidia, at least not that can match them.
Maybe we should manage these supply chain bottlenecks with AI.
And nobody cares enough to do anything about, not even the consumers. Meta is building a new AI and data facility larger than disney land. They have the money thanks to face book and instagram.
But you tell people, "hey if you care maybe do the simplest thing and quit using those products", and all you get is push back. Even here on Lemmy. They would rather their lives be worse than take the slightest inconvenience.
Lemmy has, what, like 70k MAUs? If everyone here stopped using these platforms (many of which im sure already use them very minimally) it wouldn't be a drop in the bucket of big techs user base.
My point was that you would think that Lemmy users of all people would at least be more open to dropping the big platforms. If most of the users here are pushing back, then we really are fucked.

Doesn't help they literally said they would stop producing chips and that they have done so.
I believe that if these AI hyperscaler facilities can’t get built or can’t pay their bills, the ram will likely not be usable for consumers if they get foreclosed on, since these companies are directly buying silicon wafers since it’s a cost cutting measure, so if they’re not built, most wafers could just stay like that, and if they are changed to work in their servers, I fully doubt they’ll use modules, since they could’ve just bought modules to save endless downtime before the facility actually starts making money for them.
AI revolution is so great
