My prediction:

  1. Investors continue to fuel demand, choking supply
  2. Plans to monetize LLMs don't pan out
  3. Eventually, lenders call their margins
  4. Investors see the called margins and get spooked; demand fizzles
  5. AI companies desperately try to liquidate their positions. Seeing the price of components, there's a rush to sell while prices are high.
  6. PC components flood the market
  7. Record high supply, record low prices
  8. PC gaming golden age

SXM to PCIe adapters already exist hehe

Not to mention my dumbass would chuck money at a whole server just to throw it in my home lab.

Its not trivial.

Check the level1 forums, where some electronics gurus are trying to get a single adapter MI250X to even boot. The problem isn’t the adapters, but firmware that makes it difficult.

I see no problem if I can snag some generic Instinct accelerators, and a server to go. I've already got half a rack full.
