With the cycle of DRAM and GPUs becoming more expensive just beginning, it seems the next step in the price increase trend is the most basic PC building parts like power supplies and CPU coolers.

For raw materials like copper and silver, significant demand comes from industrial processes, particularly in modern data centers. Modern AI data centers consume large amounts of copper wiring both internally and for external connections.

Just more AI fucking everyone over.

I cannot wait for the bubble to burst. Good god it’s so fucking infuriating to open every single app and get greeted with “Try our new garage door opener AI, Laurence!” or “Get the newest features for your coffee maker with Stanley, the coffee maker AI!” I just want to make some damn coffee and get my car out of the garage! I don’t need two fake friends to help me with that!

Seriously, look at this god damned bullshit:

I know what a fucking beef enchilada is! You don’t need to make RAM $400 a stick just to teach me about Mexican food!

You mean you don’t want an AI soulmate? You’re missing out. For just the price of your soul and privacy you can have a device sit on your desk and tell you how amazing you are. Your own personal sycophant.

We need to somehow accelerate the burst…

Otherwise there’s a good chance they became so savvy with bubble bursts, that they have a good plan on how to avoid it…

Bubble bursting won’t mean prices will go down significantly. Coin mining doubled GPU prices. When it ended, prices went down around 20%.

I expect the same with everything else. Ram will have doubled and then “crisis over!” will mean a 20% decline from paying triple what Ram cost 6 months ago.

Sure but the bubble not bursting means it will keep going up 500% every 6 months
