Nice, but I want lower prices for the RAM and SSD modules.

I agree, but this will help pop the bubble because local models we can run on our own hardware will crash the demand for data centers

Where do you think those models are trained?

And most personal computing has tended towards only having a smartphone, and a laptop for a real PC. You can't run much in the way of an LLM on those (at least not with any real speed).
