I love that the AI circle jerk is finding creative ways to make life more expensive. Id be willing to bet the price increase won't be shared by the AI industry.

Sounds like you’re giving in to conspiratorial thinking…

Does the AI industry buy computer components on Earth still? Then they’ll be affected by price increases.

I'm not trying to be conspiratorial. I'm assuming the dollar amount and number of GPUs promised in these deals is fixed at this point. AI is also the cause of the price increase so regular consumers enjoy a price increase while tech giants race to kill jobs, burn resources, and degrade the communities they're building these data centers in.
