The AI corps building the datacenters pretty much all have blank checks and want to be the biggest.
So the other corps that make chips, will always focus on what’s most profitable, which is what the AI centers use.
For it to be “worth it” to produce any consumer level tech, they have to raise the price to justify not just making the AI chips
So it’s not a conspiracy that’s raising prices, it’s capitalism working as intended, and to fix it would have to fix the focus on profits and replace it with fulfilling needs of the people. Which is pretty much the opposite of capitalism…

Capitalism needs to be abolished its basically kill everyone if you can make money from it. Not like the parasites wouldnt genuinely risk everyones lives.

Capitalism is like any other vice.
In moderation it’s fine, often even beneficial.
But if it’s the sole focus you’re fucked. We’re not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we’re full blown crackheads on capitalism.

Nah, capitalism is like cancer. Theres no good amount to have, eventually if left around it will spread and kill you.

Not at all when the bottom line replaces humanities interest the economy becomes a parasite to feed an endless endeavour at the sacrifice of everything around it.

And there’s room for some capitalism before that point…
Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that’s capitalism.

The more you think about it the more capitalism looks like a death cult.
