Reminder: there are no video outputs on these chatbot data center processors driving up the prices of graphics cards.

So they can't even sell as used GPUs to crash the consumer GPU price market when the AI bubble pops.

This is a reminder that businesses aren't "money focused calculation machines that optimize for the maximum possible profit." They don't worry about every little dollar, they just print money and use it to control you.

Raising prices for you is the goal, not a byproduct of some other smarter plan.

Some people don't need the rest of this post, and it's very long, so I'll put it in a comment.

Depending on how much is "too much power", people might still want to purchase them at a discount for self-hosting purposes. The future is most likely to go through a decentralization of AI services, with spme higher efficiency large providers, combined with lower efficiency edge nodes for less demanding usage... at least, until the next order of magnitude technological shift.
