Welcome to Thunderdome

In other news today, NVIDIA halted production on their RTX line for the same reason.

Yay AI!

Here's an interesting take on current AI news, and I only post it because I know there are kernels of truth in here, specifically that LLM is being discovered to NOT be on the path to AGI.

Not only is OpenAI working on adding ads to their experience, but they're also now toying with the idea of taking a cut of any creations people make using their product.

That'd be like Microsoft asking for a cut of Steven King's latest book just because he used Word.

BTW, Anthropic owns Claude. Duh. (aimed at me)

I think I'll wait until it's mandatory.

Good plan. Enjoy your retirement for a good year...

Micron will spend $200 billion to expand production. Starting to come online mid-2027

Tesla is apparently also working on producing RAM, but like Micron, it's years out. I'm pretty sure I read someone else was going the same, but I don't remember who.

Also, Intel is getting into the GPU industry. Not for consumer stuff right away, but hopefully they'll be able to shift quickly when the bubble bursts and we'll have three real GPU companies (if AMD doesn't implode).

Easy to spot for now. I think the only shake up will be scouts being needed again.
