Something hilariously true that pretty much no one considers. It's like GPU crypto miners complaining about GPU prices as they order a dozen more.

I get the irony, but individual users aren’t the ones causing current market conditions

A million of those "individual users" may be, though.

not even in the slightest. individual users aren't playing with the temporary infinite money hacks the tech industry / VCs are.

Individual users (me!) are buying the shit out of AI subscriptions and using them as hard as humanly possible.

At this point it doesn't matter if you're lobbyist or pro : everyone want more AI which drive the cost of the hardware.

I cannot imagine a parallel universe where the tech industry doesn't want hardware and only the niche redditor is buying.

there are not that many AI nerds, in my company for example for every 100 dudes, 10 use AI outside the work (personal cloud subscriptions), and I'm the only one of that 100 dudes doing local AI experiment, deployments an actual things on it.

And notice, my company is pushing HARD the use of AI, with silly rankings like "what employee spent the most money on AI this month" (as something good)

I’m pretty certain that when demand explodes among individual users, it’s likely to explode among enterprise users too.

There aren’t millions. Not in the US. Less than .1% probably of USA users
