- marcus_holmes 6mo agoAh I see, yeah. This feels like classic economics, though - if the price of something goes up because of demand, then more suppliers enter the market and supply increases. Also, the AI thing is a bubble, and bubbles burst. Sooner or later all that demand is going to disappear and we'll be oversupplied. But yes, interesting times indeed.
