alt Hacker NewsI'm not running local for exactly the same reason, to not stress my components. As it seems we are in for a long haul due to this AI bubble (can't wait for it to pop) so need to make sure I survive this madness, as for sure I can't afford to replace anything right now.
I don't know that any AI bubble will pop. AI can be used to accelerate therapies, cures, make scientific advancements. Add to that, quantum science technology which if successful, should accelerate things, depending on who's the one at the wheel. Problem is the gap between now and then (e.g. age abundance). It's going to be a difficult road for good number of the population until that day comes. I'm scouting potential locations of bridges, to live under, so that I can find and claim one when homeless day arrives.
I can't help but feel that companies using AI, engaging in employee layoffs, are shooting themselves in the foot. The endgame for them will be zero profits, since displaced workers translates to no money to pay for goods and services :|
