Hypothetically, could the personal computing market share be shifted over to Chinese manufacturers instead? IIRC They’re already making their own ram and processor designs, including increasing use of open source models like RISC V.
Yep, this is unironically the future of computing unfortunately.
Every single “bullshit” advancement you’ve seen so far has been leading up to this. The focus on developing cloud infrastructure, subscriptions services being normalized, and even the metaverse. Eventually, you will own one device and that will be a phone / VR headset. It’ll act as a glorified monitor in AR which connects to a cloud computer to actually do anything. You will literally be unable to have privacy or install software that isn’t approved.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if AI is partially a scam to raise DRAM prices enough to make home computing less affordable.
actually I’ll keep using my computer that I already have
idk how you could ever get acceptable latency with that kind of setup, but ig that’s the essential problem that cloud gaming is trying to solve. iirc it kinda work OK if you have really good wifi signal or ethernet, but any kind of hiccup is extremely noticeable. here’s to hoping physics is on our side on this one.
Not to be all “um, actually!” but mmo people are basically cloud gaming and the technology to make all the decisions centrally on a server and then communicate their results clearly to the players while also limiting the type of engagement a player can have with the mechanics has been in active development for three decades now.
I use a remote desktop so I can cad on a laptop, and it runs better than it would if it were running locally. Most companies and universities have some sort of remote VM solution so they don’t need to issue ridiculous gaming laptops to everyone who has to run solid works. The technology is here, just not the adaptation.
Capitalism is about making a monopoly and monetizing shitty solutions. Cappies don’t care about terms like ‘ping’. They’ll jack up hardware prices and force people into renting compute.
For the techies in the audience, remember that time when it was microservices everywhere? Nothing convinces me that it wasn’t another demand gen scam for cloud compute, a baby version of the one in the article
Wanna know the real bad part?
What he describes is the good ending!
Once the llm hype dies down and everything pre Blackwell/hopper gets deprecated there will be a phenomenal, really truly hard to comprehend, amount of processing power out there that can’t be used by normal people in their homes comfortably or really safely but also isn’t economical for capital to use for llms and image generation.
subscription based cloud computing is how the product of an incredibly resource hungry world economy doesn’t just get thrown away in 2028.
Fuck you, Jeff, you peckerheaded motherfucker.
You will own nothing and be happy.

I just want to cave his shiny bald skull in with a hammer. Nothing much, nothing less.
Fuck. Right. Off
Right. Fuck. Off (to bezos)

and i hope that he dies horribly but we don’t all get what we want do we
Be the change you want to see in the world 🥰
I really wish this mf would take a long dive into a shallow puddle
So where would I connect my monitors and capture card then?
The answer is you wouldn’t have one. You’d have a mobile device with AR capabilities that projects a screen monitor into your office. This is why Meta is pushing shit like the MetaQuest despite it being a glorified toy. The ultimate goal is a mobile device that acts only as a gateway to cloud computing platforms.
Record the screen with your phone camera, DSP-style.
Integrated into your all-in-one AI, TV, PC, and Alexa pod.
Is the phone included?
No lmao every single part of that is extra on your subscription plan.
