"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Most of the cost increase is speculation. They're purchasing the promise of hardware in the future. Luckily, once it crashes, this can be re-allocated (with some expense) for consumers again.
But yeah, all the stuff in use probably isn't going to be sold to consumers. Contracts will just be canceled.
