I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

one of the most frustrating things about there being “no jobs” is that we all walk around and see the work that needs to be done. our cities are crumbling, our people need help, our world is dying. there’s so much work to be done, if only it were good for the balance sheet

One of the under-stated signs that this is all a bubble and even the players know it is that they’re rushing to build data centres in places that make zero sense if you actually plan on operating a data centre. The Paluxy watershed just does not have the water supply, this is all smash-and-grab.
@foldablehuman.bsky.social Were you aware of the AI data center they are trying to build near Dinosaur Valley, which will have a huge ecological impact on the river?

Lrt I genuinely don't know why even the PS5 needed to exist. Nobody asked for it and I haven't heard a single thing that justifies its existence. Worrying about the PS6 is completely asinine. Moore's Law is dead, focus on optimizing your shit and stop favoring photorealism over style and performance

If videogame graphics have reached its visual peak and companies' CEOs never stop whining about expansive it is to make high-fidelity graphics anyway, there's no reason for new hardware to keep coming so quickly other than to squeeze more money and gatekeep players

I am fuckin begging you to treat performance as an architectural decision, and not just a last-minute 'optimization' step you can take care of later.
