It depends on the customer. Microsoft, Google, Amazon all have the revenue to carry the debts they are taking on. Oracle, Chat GPT, Musk and others are waay more sketchy.

The build out is going to take billions of dollars and these companies aren’t going to see a return for at least 5 years or more. The majors can carry that kind of debt load long term even if AI doesn’t pan out. Other businesses will struggle or go under if AI doesn’t bring the returns.

The next major movers will be companies that do a lot of IT business consulting like IBM. They are going to be busy helping non IT focused firms incorporate AI into their business model.

Finally if all these data centers pan out and the US keeps oscillating between shunning Renewables or Fossil fuels every time a new party comes to office we are going to have major problems with our energy infrastructure. Think energy bills as high as your mortgage within the next 5 years. Invest in utilities or energy companies and try to put solar and some kind of storage on your home.

This above all things. The number of inputs required to build a microchips is insane. There are probably 2 to 3 thousand separate vendors who are part of this process all of which produce highly specialized products. Not to mention the fact that all silicon used to produce chips is currently mined in a single quarry in South Carolina.

China might be able to make a fab, but the inputs required to make chips are too diverse for any single nation to build 3 or 4 nm chips at scale by themselves.

Try a Speed Queen and then get back to me.

Two comments and not a single coherent argument besides name calling.

I can see redditors live rent free in your head. Is there some kind of trauma they inflicted which you can’t move past?

Well that was aggressive. You seem very excited about this subject, maybe you should calm down.

There was nothing “vague” about my statement. Maduro is a dictator and the US is violating international law going after him.

Two things can be true at the same time. Maduro can be a dictator and the US can exerciser its military power illegally and attempt to intimidate and topple him.

Both can be true at the same time.

Same, I had been on android since the OG Droid and switched around the same time for similar reasons.

If Apple is going to charge premium prices just to splash ads on their products I’m moving on again.

I’ve only owned windows machines… well since my first DOS machine in the 90s. I made the switch to Mac after hearing about the embedded Ads in 11.

I’m sure there are many more going to Linux.

This is why you use AI to destroy AI.

After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.

Salt the fields upon which AI grows.

It’s simultaneously a grift and a way to impose a flat sales tax all in one package.

1. Republicans have been creaming their pants for years at the thought of imposing a regressive flat tax on all sales while doing away with income based taxation. This would forever shift the majority of the tax burden to the poor and middle class. Which is why we see Trump cutting taxes on the wealthy with his Big Ugly Bill and imposing a tariff as a way to tax the unwashed masses while simultaneously claiming he isn’t. Hopefully the courts strike down his power grab and force Congress to vote on Tariffs. The weasels will probably give it to them but at least we get to see Republicans go on record as voting for a tax increase.

2. Trump has announced or will announce tariff exemptions that benefit large companies that have donated to him. Sometime later if he feels he needs more money he will announce a higher random tariff on the exempted goods and shake these corps down for more money/favors. All the while he can claim he is doing our industry a favor.

Never forget Trump is a grifting piece of shit who will always stick it to the little guy.

Reicht Wingers: Hey birthday rates in the US are plummeting!?!?

Tech Bros: Let’s make 20 and 30 somethings work 72 hours a week!

Reicht Wingers: Genius!

Intel is at deaths door. You just need a gentle push…

I keep a partial local copy of Wikipedia on my phone and backup device with an app called Kiwix. Great if you need access to certain items in remote areas with no access to the internet.

I’ve had that experience on all social media platforms. Sometimes just straight up hard right propaganda will appear on my feed and I have to block it again and again.

People are looking to much into his Tax Bill and Crypto Dinners. They can’t pass legislation secretly in the dead of night if the media and public aren’t distracted by bullshit.

It hasn’t been half a year yet and the firehouse of chaos that is Trump is impossible to keep up with.

CSJDIA.

Moneys decided it. No one is going to click on a image for a old wrinkly white guy

This is the stupidest fucking trade war. Trump is an odoot who can’t recognize or understand what a service based economy is. Most of tech and IT is service based.

Services don’t have tariffs so the US made out better in the deal. Now he’s fucked that gig for so much of our companies and people.

Bullshit. The amount of times I’ve had random conversations about odd topics for the very first time with my wife and the fucking subject appears in a FB add three hours later.

Nope, go peddle your corpo propaganda elsewhere.

I hear what you are saying, but I still like to see Nazis hurt.

Let’s make Tesla a penny stock.
