Tao said the company plans to “minimize the impact” of rising memory costs by focusing on “monetizing the installed base” and growing software and network services revenue.
Maybe something lost in translation but that sure sounds like gouging existing customers to me.
I have a different conspiracy theory.
I think they’re planning on the reduced human population that’s already underway in America.
See, the boomer generation at it’s peak was bigger than Gen-X, the millenials, and Gen-Z combined. But, people die. And the youngest boomers are 70 years old.
The next 30 years will see a massive population collapse, and we’ve already entered the collapse of the work force of that generation.
Which means for the next 30 years, everybody else is paying for the boomers social security. But when it comes time for our time on retirement, we’re not going to have the same support they did. Boomers will be dead, Gen Z is statistically having less kids (and I get why, but it still means less social security income).
So their plan is to regulate all the work to AI, and take all the profits. The problem is, it’s a really stupid plan. It doesn’t matter how advanced AI is. It will never fully replace humans. Which means the concept of work will always need to exist. And the end result is, I think they’re preparing to figure out how to get AI to do enough of the jobs, and then enslave the people to do the rest.
