"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I don't know, people said the same about videocard prices during the crypto boom, the 2020 shortage and every time prices just went up. I doubt prices will go down
Prices going up has to match the demand for the supply. Price goes too high, then there is enough incentive for competitors to come into the market and increase supply. In the long run, it hurts the hoarders.
So when will GPUs get cheaper again?
In the case of competitors popping up, painfully long time. But acutely things are looking good. There is no money backing up these bullshit contracts.
It's been what, 10 years? Since GPU prices first sharply rose due to Bitcoin miners. Competitors haven't popped up so far. I don't believe this will change.
