I think the way everyone is going with regard to power consumption, thanks to AI, needs a clamp. GPU clusters are crazy dense, and it has made it easier to create clusters that consume far more power than ever before especially in the last few years. It's okay to do it today, but that power growth cannot be sustainable in the long run and looking at the power predictions doesn't put ones mind to ease when thinking about the future generation. Like what will the world be like in 30, 40 years? Greed will only get you far today, but there will always be repercussions at some point and the climate has been...strange to say the least. We should all be striving to, you know, shrink the world process node and bring everything down a notch and generate less heat everywhere, including but not limited to AI.
The other thing is, I always wanted to own one of the Mate phones when they were competing at the top end but Huawei were obviously sanctioned later and that never happened. The other day I was looking at their financials after ages and they still seem to be doing pretty good. I thought they'd have a tougher time with no android access but I guess they've sort of succeeded in doing that in their home market at least. The new camera setup seems interesting too but no point in owning one here without android I suppose.
But yeah, complex times. I hope they all come to decisions that benefit everyone as a whole. Even 1/10 would be a good start.
