"GenAI's dirty secret: It's set to create a mountainous increase in e-waste."
The study, which looks at the rate AI servers are being introduced to datacenters, claims that a realistic scenario indicates potential for rapid growth of e-waste from 2.6 kilotons each year in 2023 to between 400 kilotons and 2.5 million tons each year in 2030, when no waste reduction measures are considered.
The team "considered four scenarios with varying degrees of generative AI production and application, ranging from an aggressive scenario with widespread applications to a conservative scenario with more specific applications."

yep, nobody has to know how you voted...
and that applies to white guys too, you don't have to tell your MAGA buddies you voted for the right person
"TSMC isn't a pure monopsony in the wafer fab equipment market. Intel and Samsung are still buying tools, just not as often as wafer fab equipment manufacturers would like. Memory manufacturers also buy wafer fab equipment tools, and trailing-edge foundries do too."
"Monopsony refers to a market in which there is only a single buyer, i.e., producers cannot find alternative buyers of their product."
"Monopsony permits the buyer to establish prices, terms and conditions that are quite different from those that would result from a market structure in which there were many competing buyers and sellers."
The only seller the article mentions is ASML. Single-seller market, too? At least when it comes to high-numeric-aperture (high-NA) extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tools.
"When there are only a few buyers, it's an oligopsony. Given the consolidated nature of the semiconductor industry, most markets within the semiconductor supply chain are already oligopsonistic."

“Monopsony permits the buyer to establish prices,
nope.
if the buyers needs so much the product the seller can decide not to sell and the buyers die. Or the seller can decide to stop selling to one of the buyer -for exemple intel- and just sell to chinese communist party, or russia and intel dies.
is tsmc in taiwan ? i heard about taiwan in another scope...

"Colossal released a progress report on the work involved in resurrecting the thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, which went extinct when the last known survivor died in a zoo in 1936. Marsupial biology has some features that may make de-extinction somewhat easier, but we have far less sophisticated ways of manipulating it compared to the technology we've developed for working with the stem cells and reproduction of placental mammals. But, based on these new announcements, the technology available for working with marsupials is expanding rapidly."
"Colossal has obtained a nearly complete genome sequence from a thylacine sample that was preserved in ethanol a bit over a century ago. According to Pask, this sample contains both the short fragments typical of older DNA samples (typically just a few hundred base pairs long), but also some DNA molecules that were above 10,000 bases long."
