    The resources they’re exhausting aren’t the physical components, it’s the production capacity.

    The shit being fed into this ‘AI’ grift will have very limited reuse potential when their universe implodes.

    What we’re seeing is a confluence of unconstrained parasitic consumption, and artificially constrained cartel production.

    The parallels I see are with OPEC in 1973. JEDEC have found themselves in a position of power at the choke point of a Crucial industry, and are leveraging it to maximise profit and influence.

    Unions of individuals are good for society, cartels of corporations are carcinogenic.
