The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else The $700 billion AI spending spree has few precedents. Good luck finding an electrician or a reasonably priced smartphone. (archive.is)

We’re not really raising prices above costs, in fact we’re eating a lot of the cost increases ourselves to flatten the overall increase across the board that ends up with our customers. But a lot of them already made commitments to buy that we have to raise the price on through no fault of our own. And more are coming. So I don’t think the sales dudes are seeing any benefit tbh. Though you’re right to not like them.
