AI isn’t driving up prices. Oligarchs are. And they aren’t using their own money but our retirement funds to do it.
Ai is just a tool. One that is being built out because the billionaires demand it. They are already wielding this tool to bludgeon the masses.
Heaven forbid their margins be lowered. 46% is barely scraping by!
Tech CEOs: Shove AI in everything they do
Ram Prices: Skyrocket to account for AI usage
Tech CEOs: Price raises are unavoidable!
Hmm…I don’t own a car so I can avoid high gas prices. I think I can safely stay away from AI and save the big bucks. Forced adoption of AI sounds so “mark of the beast” to me.
Demand for electricity will raise electricity prices, and demand for gas to run the electricity plants will raise heating costs.
Demand for RAM makes the price of even Rapsberry Pi go up. The AI bubble is the tail wagging the economy dog.
It’s everything with any memory or processing onboard.
I’m seeing it in my industry, devices are increasing in price every quarter to 6 months. These all cost businesses more money than even a year ago, and those costs will be passed to us.
It’s easy to call Apple out, but understand that any device in your house with any memory from robot vacuums to home surveillance cameras to routers are all affected by this drain of chips and components.
Maybe we were askng for it by dressing that way.
I guess there’s going to have to be a law, since the perpetrators just can’t control themselves.
Bah, maybe in some backwater European country like Germany or France, no laws in Freedomville™ America, Laws are for COMMIES who hate capitalism!

Because the cost of memory is driving up device prices.

Interesting how it’s driving up hardware costs and driving down software costs
Why do you think it’s driving down software costs?
