I can only hope that the A.I. bubble bursts in time when I need to buy a new computer.

Good luck… Even when the bubble bursts, they’re going to have an insane amount of computing power just sitting there, it will get sold off in bankruptcy proceedings, and some company will gobble it up and operate at a loss while continuing to secure future supply contracts. There’s a very real chance that we’re witnessing the slow death of home computing. The way things shake out it might end up being prohibitively expensive compared to cloud computing, and once that’s the norm they price gouge like Walmart did to destroy small businesses. Instead of dropping a couple grand for a PC every couple years, we’ll have steady contracts paying for month at a time indefinitely.

Nah. Web devs will create even more bloated web pages to keep home computing in business. For real though, most people don’t need that much computing power, and we reached the plateau 12 years ago. That’s why we’re seeing crypto and AI grifts happen. They recentralize decentralized systems. The elites are striking back. You know the saying“information wants to be free; information wants to be expensive”? This is the expensive part where people try to horde knowledge by making it inaccessible to everyday people.
