In other words, welcome to NIABUDSAGTTYGAOP, BATPESLETSGWFLSTL
But I get how that's not as fun to engage with for pithy internet rhetoric.
“Nono, I’m not NIMBY, I just want to set up some goalposts that I can arbitrarily move whenever I want. I just want veto power. Trust me, I’ll use it responsibly”
Decades of no housing follows
That’s my point.
... you sure about that one chief?
After that, when more Litography machines have been built and facilities constructed, that may change. But even then I don't see how this will reduce component prices below the pre-AI-boom numbers? Chip production was already very efficient and already had very good economies of scale. Any attempt to ramp up production quickly will just lead to higher costs in facility construction, that need to be recouped. (Unless AI is a bubble that bursts, at which point components will be cheap, but only for a moment)
Other than war, price pressure is the only lever we have for abundance and a pivot against a future of rationing and constant whinging and committee hearings about which technology is allowed to use how much RAM.
Pressure on.
But the chips land on our soil and are programmed by our companies (often by immigrants).
I think if we forfeit our spot it could be pretty bad economically.
