If their purpose is to extract resources from 3rd world countries and distribute it to 1st world countries, then they are actually great at what they do.

It makes sense that they are reluctant to make investments. Building new data centers will presumably require more new RAM units then maintaining those that are already in existence. The large influx of new infrastructure is a temporary condition.

Regardless, a quick Google search indicates that about a half a trillion dollars has recently been spent on building new foundries in the United States. Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022 coincides with the spike in demand, we are only just at the point where these investments could come into fruition.

I don't think it was purposefully engineered. I'm pretty sure it takes over a decade to ramp up production.

It's not necessarily a waste of tax payer money for a country as small as Switzerland. Switzerland is about twice as large as New Jersey, the 4th smallest US state.

It seems that there are multiple accounts set up to downvote anti-Chinese comments, so equilibrium is maintained.

Does anything useful even come in 8K at this point? I saw it as a spec last time I went television shopping, but it seemed like something that wouldn’t be useful for another decade.
