So, it doesn't look like they're coordinating between them like last time - they're just selling wedding cakes because the AI industry wants to buy wedding cake - so they're using all their available capacity to make wedding cakes.

It's the coordination bit that would need to be proven - and it's all just enlightened self interest. They'd be mad not to sell wedding cakes - and at risk of shareholders suing them.

Problem with selling wedding cakes is when the other trillion dollar organisations who want carrot cake can't get it.

Apple have just increased pricing (for not the last time) and they're the biggest consumer facing market on earth for normal people.

I don't think the bubble will burst because of consumers directly, but it'll be a consumer level burst because people will ALWAYS want new consumer hardware. When no one can afford it? Doesn't matter that everything has AI when you have no consumer hardware people can afford which can run it.

Yeah, I get it. I just want to know (in this economy) why we think it's their problem...

It's their problem because they have customers who have customers.

Micron etc are selling to the highest bidder to make money, short term massive windfall. When the bubble implodes (if) and their former "best customers" basically tell them to FOAD? It'll be interesting.

Consumers mean nothing right now, but long term business reputation?

We'll see smaller fabs in the next decade challenge the big 3 and then see big players shift to them causing Micron n'co to lose share.

The long term view of the consumer is too take as much hardware away from them as possible and move it all back into the control of the content distributors. They really aren't worried about consumer opinion as direct purchasers. Even the consumer hardware people like Apple are realising they're kind of making up increasingly dubious reasons to upgrade devices, and customers themselves are voting with their feet and keeping devices for much longer. Annual phone upgrades are a minority interest at this point. We'll eventually get to (relatively) dumb devices that we only upgrade when we break them, with all the processing in the cloud.

And it will be a fucking dystopia where no-one owns anything except a few techbros.

So, they've made a load of cash, then the cow dies, so:

We want RAM, we'll start buying off them again at cheaper prices. They don't need us to like them - but there's only three of them, so we're going to suck that dick - hard.

Good. Lets hope so. But you're talking billions to make a fab, so it'll be big boys anyway.

All hail our insect overlords!

Remote Controlled Cyborg Cockroach Swarms!

Swarms of cyborg insects controlled remotely via electrical implants can now operate underwater, thanks to tiny diving suits supplying them with oxygen

Fuck's sake.

Whilst undoubtedly amazing, I still don't like how we use animals. If we can use animals like this, what is ethically to stop some infinitely superior minds from treating us in the same way.

All those wankers who wear these I hope they have a automatic blackout after 3hrs 1min of use until you pay £100 to look like a cunt for another 3hrs 1min. /points to my arse when the "ooh what about accidents crowd", fuckoff the glasses are bad enough now to be a distraction (not sure if true as I have as much interest in these wearables as I do looking at my shit)

Patients due for hip replacement are told, as part of the pre surgery, to walk around a lot more and do certain exercises, such as side steps. Those who follow that advice usually don't then require a hip replacement. It saves an absolute fortune for the NHS doing that.

I maintain my position that the NHS should be a statutory consultee to all transport and planning decisions, local or national. Forcing officers and councillors to listen to doctors about how making it easier to walk and cycle around, and exactly how much money can be saved (like 10% of the NHS's budget being spent on diabetes) could be transformative.

"I'd do it. Small chunks would be easy to fit in," she says. "I don't have a gym membership or any of that but I could go for a walk. That's free."

But when it comes to incentives, discounts wouldn't cut it. "If my walking is converted into a freebie, like a drink or food, then that would help get me to do it."

and

Not wanting to break a "streak", or run of consistent days, is definitely a motivator for her and her friends.Another, who already clocks up roughly a marathon's worth of walking each month, admitted he'd happily take a free reward for something he's already doing

I'm all for building infrastructure @Tom. And making it easy for people. But 1/3rd of the NHS budget is spent on self-inflicted avoidable disease. Bribing 25 year olds with food for stuff they already do isn't the answer.

When my other half shows me that list I reply sweetly that it's nice that she's got plenty to be keeping her busy whilst I play games or go for a bike ride.
