different form of stagflation... due to Ai boom

Ai is hoarding and consuming enormous amount of resources

copper, silver, computer parts, etc

ram price have 10x since several months ago

same goes for pc storage, etc

same goes for other commodities (like copper, silver, etc)

problem is due to Ai, companies have stopped hiring

due to ai flation, other industries are basically starving for resources

future is now, economy is heading to Ai-flation

ai industry driven inflation with no job growth, no economic boom but higher cost due to ai resource consumption

just a single RAM stick now cost just as much as pc

eventually, every resources will be consumed by Ai and you will own nothing

you will be out-competed, and out-priced to Ai
