The hype around AI-powered devices keeps growing, and honestly, it's easy to see why. But here's the catch—these AI systems are absolute memory hogs. They're vacuum up memory chips at an insane pace, and that's creating a real bottleneck for the entire electronics industry. Phones, cars, servers for crypto infrastructure—everything that needs these chips is now scrambling. The supply simply can't keep up with demand. For those of us tracking hardware trends, whether it's GPU availability for mining or broader network infrastructure, this shortage isn't just a data center problem anymore. It's becoming a systemic issue that could squeeze margins across the board and reshape hardware accessibility.

ngl, this chip shortage is really going to kill the industry, miners are going to cry their eyes out, and GPU prices will continue to skyrocket.

AI is really going to consume all the chips this time, miners are directly doomed.

Here we go again... The chip shortage has been obvious for a long time. I should have realized this back when I was still stockpiling GPUs. If only I had known earlier.

The chip shortage is really severe, and friends involved in mining are having a tough time now. AI's demand for chips is like eating, and the supply chain has been directly disrupted.

The issue of AI consuming memory is really outrageous; mining GPUs are even being snatched up.

The chip shortage is really severe, making it even harder for miners, and costs are about to explode.

NGL, this chip shortage is really going to drive miners crazy, and GPU prices are probably going to skyrocket again.

The chip shortage has been evident for a while; AI is rapidly consuming memory, and miners are now suffering too...

The chip shortage is even more severe than the GPU shortage during Bitcoin mining. Now with a surge in AI devices, the underlying hardware is directly overwhelmed.
