Here's a little feel good story. At the beginning of the memory surge, I remember Samsung made a statement that they were going to build out slowly, essentially saying they weren't going to get caught up in the manufacturing frenzy to support AI. That was nice.
Of course I never heard about it again and I only heard it that one time and I don't know what Samsung has in fact done.
But it was nice to see that moment of maturity.

A compound interest calculator, which someone made with Copilot, is not correct. It took the effective annual interest rate and divided by 12, which results in a higher monthly interest rate than it should of course for a monthly rate compounded monthly. So again, I'm so VERY glad to have seen trillions of dollars poured into this absolute trash. (LLMs do not have any capability to deal with math properly so this was the expected result, by the way.)
