If anything slows the headlong rush into “AI everywhere,” it won’t be energy and water use, pollution, hallucinations, security breaches, or deteriorating skills. It’ll be men upset that their video game systems can’t be upgraded because all the hardware is being sucked up.
@drdrang Never discount the Angry Gamer segment they will rise up. =^)
@drdrang Or everyone suffering because of RAM and storage being swallowed up. Almost every thing on the planet now has ram, storage and a CPU. Folks gonna be pissed when their washing machines double in price…
@drdrang @rmondello unfortunately the men who could change anything have more than enough money to afford the upgrades.
@drdrang @rmondello I mean that didn't really stop crypto either
