two giant upsets to the semi market in the space of half a decade is probably perfectly fine and won’t have multi year global impacts, right? right?

the only part of this I really approve of is how likely these fuckers are to want to Speak To The Manager

what's that sound? is it the sound of a previous post coming past? naaaah, I'm sure it can't be that. discord's a Bro™️, and discord super totes Won't Fuck The Users®️, I'm sure I'll shortly be told by some vapid fencesitter that this will all be Perfectly Okay!

roughly this is where my thinking on it is too. and there's a chance that because of such clients is why he hates this shit now as he does.

the guy's quite obviously a great orator and engaging writer, evidenced by the popularity of his writing. and this is another part of why this comes to mind for me - applying a bit of critical view, just to check. while we're at the point of building new relationships, new critiques, new platforms, figuring out all these new options to deal with sweeping hand motion all this other garbage, wisest to try make the most of it now

got a question (brought on by this). anyone here know if zitron's talked about his history of how he got to where he is atm wrt tech companies?

there's something that's often bothered me about some of his commentary. an example I could point to: some of the things that he comments on and "doesn't seem to get" (and has stated so) are .... not quite mysteries of the universe, just some specifics in dysfunction in the industry. but those things one could understand by, y'know, asking around a bit. (so in this example, I dunno if that's on him not engaging far/deeply enough in research, or just me being too-fucking-aware of broken industry bullshit. hard to get a read on it)

but things like what's highlighted in thread do leave open the possibility of other nonsense too

nod, I get what you mean. probably 70/30 (although I wish it were closer to 50/50) on whether oracle goes for it, but boy how fucking funny would it be if if were the 30 and openai was suddenly scrambling to find a home for their bullshit

haven't really had the headpsace to read into the stargate mess whatsoever! it is funny to hear that the borderline-ouroboros is still hungry but I'm not sure if it'll, y'know, Learn From This

kinda wonder if the pushback about the nyt article contributes to this
