I expect them to end this year. There is no demand by normal customers, only AI focused enterprises.
The whole plan is to make personal computing unaffordable so we have to rent cloud services to do anything.
They’ll find a way to keep that consumer demand at zero.
They want a chunk of your income to gatekeep the products they made unaffordable to you.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
That isn't the plan. Person computers are still available, but ram production didn't match demand.
Also billionaires don't have a billion dollars so they don't effect you. Their wealth is stocks that only home value because you keep buying them. If the bubble pops those "billions" disappear.
