We'll let the runaway inflation after the AI crash eat away at the currency's value until RAM is back at the old value, even with the much higher prices, then wait for wages to catch up a bit. By then they'll have a nice unsold supply.

    People aren't saying AI is going to disappear, although that wouldn't be a bad thing imo. When people talk about an AI crash they're talking about the trillions in investments by the major companies that have been operating at a loss and have no monetization plan that could feasibly recoup even a fraction of that amount. Open source models are nearly as good as the big guys now, and nobody is going to pay hundreds or thousands a month just to keep using chatgpt or Gemini.
