I can't buy this kind of argument anymore. How about the external effect of AI steering the entire semiconductor industry to increase GPU/NPU capacity?

This kind of argument is actually totally valid. But only if you subscribe to the current meta of widely accepted handwaving.

Externalities are never a part of capitalist math. Non-trivial consequences can never hurt if one never looks further than their own nose.
