I mean I love the idea of a physical library of branded thumb drives - in an alternate universe, USB would be fast enough to stream an entire game from a thumb drive, and your entire game library would be stored in bespoke furniture, like this cassette container.
But yeah, every big tech boom is followed by a big tech bust: dotcoms, crypto, VR/metaverse. AI will eventually join their ranks, it may just take longer than we would hope. And when it does, the price of hardware will eventually stabilize, with software to follow.
