## Resource

“If they force the entire world to take 18 days to really start thinking about the deployment of all this hardware… is that going to be the more dangerous problem for the AI industry.” Eli the Computer Guy joins the Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to talk about Samsung employees taking strike action over unfair distribution of the profits of surging memory prices and whether the AI bubble can survive the 18 days pause.
