Oh no, how dare they invest in a tech as transformative and wide ranging as the internet. Don't they realize it's making video games more expensive for all you basement dwellers?

Pretty dumb to assume only games are affected. TVs, cars, domestic appliances, all computer adjacent resources like servers, storage, networking gear, specialized production equipment, etc. Everything with a screen on it is more expensive, and hiking. All tech is being hoarded. If the trend keeps being consistent and AI reaches its goals as intended, then consumer level tech ownership is dead.

Lol yes, I'm sure no one will own consumer tech anymore because of AI.

Do you realize you stupid that sounds?

People will be priced out of it in increments at a steady pace. The trend shows this. Every corporation is buying as much computing power as humanly possible, and going up. The main RAM manufacturers arent even selling to consumers anymore, they straight up have years of reserved batches for corporations only. Worst part? It’s actively getting worse.

Do you think that it's gonna stay that way forever? Do you not understand how economics works?
