    I'm so fed up with seeing these daft clickbait ' Do this one thing to Blah! Blah! Blah! '

    Such as using lemons to deter foxes. Who the hell is going to buy a sackful of lemons to cover the boundary of their garden?

    Just in case anyone thought the AI bubble wasn't going to pop any time soon:

    Source: You're about the feel the AI money squeeze.

    In case you're unaware of just how much money $7 trillion dollars is, that's about three percent of the gross national product... of the entire planet. Yeah.

    Ain’t. Happening.

    Was never going to happen.

    The economics of buying Nvidia’s hardware alone rules out any chance of profitability.

    I can probably guess when it's going to pop, just before my bonus vests, currently massively pumped due to the AI wave, so were all done by Oct....and will have the added bonus of being unemployed, it is the way in the semiconductor boom bust cycle.

    Pre bust dreamer, ooh i'll buy a house and Ferrari cash like a baller, post bust reality, cardboard box and a bus ticket :D

    Well, yeah, nobody can put a true number on inference cost, so your $200 sub could easily run into thousands in data centre resource. but they can't raise the prices because customers are already baulking at the current cost. They can't maintain pricing because they're still losing money and they can't drop prices because that will affect confidence in the IPOs they are so desperate to launch; which they need to maintain operation "until everything comes good", which it won't.

    They're going for the too big to fail gambit, and praying for government money becaue the fall will bring down the economy with it.

    Remember when we were angry at bankers for gambling on mortgage futures? That will seem almost adorable in the near future.

    Remember when you didn't have malware installed automatically when you plugged in a monitor? 'Cos I remember...

    And remember when TVs were just TVs, when the TV didn't take screenshots of anything that's on-screen every 0.5 seconds in order to send it to some server somewhere, and when using your TV didn't require the implicit agreement that you and anyone who comes into your home, even guests, will be surreptitiously listened to and that you therefore implicitly agree to adhere to local wiretapping and eavesdropping laws? 'Cos I ****ing remember...



    I'm not prepared to even entertain the slightest possible chance that this would be rolled out to UK/EU users, so... that's my LG TV ****ing blocked from talking to the outside world...

    Ah, I plugged into an LG monitor today (that I’ve had for years) and windows automatically installed the LG launcher. So I uninstalled it. I don’t want to have to deal with that, but I don’t really want to have to shell out for new monitors :miffed:

    LG TV has been neutered, just turned the wifi off, I have no idea why I turned it on in the first place.
