Videos@lemmy.world•AI is destroying open source, and it's not even good yet
1·16 days agoThe Chinese are moving aggressively into this market.
If shortages last until the 2030s, they will catch up and dominate the market.
I will have no sympathy for Western companies if that happens.

5·16 days agoIt’s like saying adding more steps to a ladder will make it fly.
Fundamentally, LLMs are not AI.

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce modelsEnglish
5·25 days agoYeah, luckily in Australia, we are getting Chinese stuff without massive tariffs.
I see BYD cars everywhere.

7·26 days agoThese Chinese are catching up very quickly on GPUs, RAM, etc.
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
2·1 month 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.

134·2 months agoMore competition for AMD and NVIDIA, the better.
I wouldn’t expect the first domestic Chinese GPU to be great but hopefully they keep iterating and get better and better.

Technology@lemmy.world•Moral Panic and Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban: A Critical Youth Work PerspectiveEnglish
91·2 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.
