People should keep bitching about AI until it either dies or finds an entirely new business model based on not being pieces of shit.

How can AI die? What does that even mean?

It's math. You can write the algorithms on a napkin from memory. It cannot 'die'. You're tilting at windmills, there's nothing to kill.

You're mad at the people who are using the productivity gains resulting from this new technology and eliminating jobs for people.

That isn't an AI problem. The same thing happens every time there is a new productivity saving device. It doesn't result in the workers earning more money from increased productivity, it results in a huge amount of people getting fired so profits can go up.

You're not mad at AI, you're mad at capitalism but it sounds like you lack the perspective to understand that.

I'm not even sure what you mean by equivalent. Is an airplane equivalent to aerospace engineering? They're two different things.

AI models, the neural network ones, are essentially just a bunch of tensor multiplication. Tensors are a fundamental part of linear algebra and I hope I don't have to keep explaining the joke.

The point is that no amount of being angry and toxic on the Internet will make AI disappear.

In addition, what most people are complaining about (the exploitative way that AI is being used) is not an AI problem, it is a capitalism problem. So, not only is the rage and anger useless but it is pointed at the wrong target.

A major reason these kinds of things are happening is the EU move toward digital sovereignty.

Since there isn't exactly a non-US commercial OS available and Linux is good enough for most everything, we're starting to see a lot of interest in the open source world and moving towards open and standards-based software.

Commercial companies recognize that the EU governments represent a huge potential source of income. Some categories of software have essentially no Linux support... this leaves a huge vacuum to be filled by a company who can create professional image editing/CAD software which also works on Linux.

If Affinity is the only large, commercially supported professional publishing software available then they become the defacto winner of all of these new EU Digital Sovereignty contracts.

Ok sure, then what is the source of this moral authority which defines all morality?

Morality is a social construct, not an immutable part of the universe, and there are many societies on Earth so what is 'moral' completely depends on where you are.

An EO can prevent states from passing laws?

Federal laws and regulations preempt state laws and regulations.

An EO by itself cannot prevent states from passing laws. The President doesn't make laws.

What he can do is choose an interpretation of an existing law which creates a federal regulation on AI (likely through the FCC), preventing states from regulating them.

Sorry Bill.

Sincerely,

- You already know everything about me.

You're exactly right.

The unusual thing here is that production is not following demand.

It isn't the case that RAM manufacturers are unable to buy more RAM manufacturing equipment. They're simply choosing not to invest in new RAM manufacturing equipment because, collectively, they seem to agree that the demand is a bubble which will collapse before the investment will break even.

Since that sector typically targets a 3-5 year payback window, it means that the market is not expecting demand to continue rising long-term.

The article is simply AMD pricing the bubble uncertainty into their product. We'll likely see the Steam Machine have a similarly inflated price (and also due to tariff uncertainty)

Yup. Like I just grabbed a nice laptop for $150 that was $1200 in 2025 because Microsoft dictated that every computer is obsolete to their OS.

It’s not a shortage if production is normal but some greedy assholes keep buying them all. It’s a racket.

Your entire premise is built on “if production is normal” and yet in the 2nd paragraph of the article (which you read, right?) it says that production isn’t normal.

Manufacturers are intentionally not ramping up to increase production to follow the demand because of the bubble risk.

So, the price increase is created by a supply-side problem because production isn’t normal.

The supply-chain disruption centres on memory devices—especially those used in graphics-cards and AI-accelerated systems—where manufacturers remain wary of ramping up production after past crashes. The result: constrained supply, elevated costs, and a decision by AMD to transmit some of that burden across its GPU product lineup.
