"I've been saving for months to get the Corsair Dominator 64GB CL30 kit," one beleagured PC builder wrote on Reddit. "It was about $280 when I looked," said u/RaidriarT, "Fast forward today on PCPartPicker, they want $547 for the same kit? A nearly 100% increase in a couple months?"

I don't think the bubble bursting will slow AI that much, it'll just be a round of hot potatoe over, the losers will lose their money and others will come in hoping to be profitable since they can skip a bunch of R&D costs.

AI is overhyped, but just like the internet after the dotcom bubble burst, it's not going anywhere.

Plus I suspect that this time will be a dollar collapse rather than stock market collapse, which would mean prices would go up even more.
