    If google TPUs or upcoming Chinese silicon can calculate shaders the most hilarious thing can happen.

      Unfortunately you need specialized hardware for triangle rasterization, and TPUs / Compute oriented GPUs cannot really do this efficiently.

      Some gamedevs hoped Nanite would eliminate the need for rasterization hardware, but because it's only performant in certain scenarios (very high poly meshes) consumers are pushing back against this.

        > if china will do it im pretty sure US economy will take a big hit.

        You being "pretty sure" doesn't translate to actual reality. If you followed the events in the real world, you'd know that Samsung workers were about to strike and cripple the company because they were offered only $400K of bonuses per worker, while the workers in the competing (also Korean) SK Hynix were being given a cool $ 1 million.

        Your money is going to Korea and Taiwan who charge an arm and a leg and they have absolutely no intention to increase production because they like these prices. The US trade deficit grew because of them, despite tariffs, sanctions and threats.

        So, the real world effect of China entering the market would be a stimulated US economy, lower prices, lower inflation, greater consumer satisfaction and lower deficits. That's the opposite of what you feel.

        "worse inflation than 2008" is certainly one way to write "total collapse of the US financial system and economy"

        AI is the only thing propping up the stock market. The stock market and the navy are the only reasons anyone cares about the US. And the stock market is propping up the navy.

      Naive Question: Are we running out of diskspace to store pdfs that detailed categories aren't wanted? Or is this a way to make it difficult for outsider to spot trends?

    Well that's incredibly ominous.
