@libreleah Also, don't let a single company produce the chip making equipment.

@tofu that's what makes it even worse. i can't think of many reasons, except perhaps to limit the amount that competing AI firms can buy?

@libreleah We're talking about Sam Altman economics here, they rarely make sense. I guess they could try to hold them off and sell them at a marked up price later?

idk, call me crazy, but maybe enforce anti-trust laws, don't allow monopolies, etc. seems sensible to me. don't let a single corporation reduce the amount of ram the world can buy by 40%.

and modernise the laws against price fixing and so on, so that you can actually punish this sort of thing

letting one american company destroy the world economy seems pretty dumb if you ask me. maybe... don't let them do that???

@libreleah also don't forget to block any and all corporate lobbying. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to dictate the regulations they have to follow.

@rubinjoni make providing verilog/vhdl, schematics, boardviews, gerber files, firmware/software sources available too. #righttorepair basically

make it mandatory to provide these things when selling a manufactured computing product, or any other type of electronics.

@libreleah @rubinjoni By now, they've realized they are sitting on a pile a cash many times the price they paid, for datacenters that are still a longway from being ready...
