Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC depend on oil, gas, helium, sulphur, and bromine coming from the region, or through the Strait of Hormuz.
Marko Papic, chief strategist at BCA Research … predicts a severe hit to chip production if the strait isn’t back in operation within a month.
Could mean higher PC component prices, or even a halt in production. Could mean global recession.
Do they mean “How the Iran war could give the AI leeches a scapegoat for their snake oil crashing and burning, like it was always going to”? or is that just too long for a headline
Yay a thing that will hurt everyone a lot and the big tech companies a little. A win is a win amirite
An extinction-level asteroid impact would be huge help as well.
Bring it on. All of these AI companies were already unprofitable and barely skating by on hype before, let’s see how they handle increasing costs, hardware shortages, unemployment, and market instability.
Bro. It’s going to derail everything. Not just AI.
And then blow up the rails.
Getting off Gas AND AI‽ Getting two birds stoned at once
Silver linings, everybody!
What boom?
They spelled “bubble” wrong
The one made by an AI powered drone.
AI will boom
Good.
