Over the entire history of video games, systems went down in price as they get older
The Steam Deck is 4 years old and getting an eye watering $300 price increase
You might say "who cares it's a child's toy" and fair enough but it's a signal of a wider trend
The price is skyrocketing because AI demand is driving up the price on all physical computing hardware from video processors to RAM
AI companies are basically competing with consumers for hardware, making it prohibitively expensive
Right now you're seeing it mostly in video games but home PCs and laptops are also feeling this and it will only intensify
Even if you think all the AI machine god job apocalypse stuff is overblown this part is very real
AI companies are making personal compute so expensive that you can't own it, just like private equity hoping to buy a bunch of homes and make people permanent renters
If won't be too long before you have to rent your compute from data centers instead of just owning processing power
It starts with expensive game consoles, it ends with the centralized ownership of compute in the hands of a few select oligarchs
@truthcartel816 Internal critiques should work both ways. Long form interrogation of views for consistency is part of truth finding. One side is willing to do that the other isn't. It's that simple.

Gavin Ortlund is actively blocking anyone calling out this his “co-pastor” dad and Dr Moore are pro-LGBT openly and Kamala supporters. He doesn’t want this out because he’s a fraud and labels anyone calling out the DNC/SPLC term “extremists”
