"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC depend on oil, gas, helium, sulphur, and bromine coming from the region, or through the Strait of Hormuz.

Marko Papic, chief strategist at BCA Research ... predicts a severe hit to chip production if the strait isn’t back in operation within a month.

Could mean higher PC component prices, or even a halt in production. Could mean global recession.

The problem is that any solid prediction in an environment as unstable as this one is like trying to play billiard during a mayor earthquake. It is quite likely that this war will substantially fuck the world economy, and in the long run unleash a boom of renewable energy.
