    it took about 8-10 months after the crypto mining crash for them to push this AI bullshit.

    that shit lasted what, 10 to 16 years?

    The mining craze where gpus went up 3X IF you even could buy one?

    That was from 2020 to 2022, with the late rtx 3000 and the launching of the rtx 4000.

    Prices stayed up though, but not 3X, and without stock problems.

    For an extremely short period of time the price of high end server parts and even standard PC parts will reach record lows causing nearly every tech company to face massive devaluations, the resulting economic crash will lead to a financial crisis causing inflation to spike rapidly.

    I see no possible scenario that ends in anything but catastrophe. Only winning move is not to play type situation, except there is only one game and it's forced on us and everyone is playing and the people controlling the rules are meth fueled gambling addicts.

    Catastrophe? Oh no the ensuing economic crash is going to be the precursor to the actual catastrophe. The real disaster is going to be the response to the total economic meltdown which will either result in an absolute dictatorship, total civil war, or both simultaneously.
