I'd love to attend a rave at an abandoned data center.

Sorry to see you get downvotes, xvxvx, for an honest (but I feel very incorrect take) but I understand their impetus: there is a lot of value and power in this crazy new tech. Some companies may bite it, but the cat is out of the bag - in some form or another, the new AI technology is powerful and it isn't going anywhere.

If it's the case that for years you've been saying it's right around the corner, you've been wrong every time so far. That said, this time you still want credit for being right?

Broken clock theorem..

What's funny is that I built a computer for my son exactly a year ago. I think we spent 550 Euros on a 5060Ti 16GB. Today the same exact card (half-length) is >1040 Euros: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0FDQXHYFW

Every other component has also gone up in price, bigtime. Especially the SSD.

This is, I think, unprecedented. I'm old enough to remember when a 1-year-old computer was considered "old" and all computers would depreciate fast.

Prices sure have got a long way to fall before we're back in Nov 2025 territory...
