Even after the AI bubble pops, even after Trump is done (for good) with starting more wars, trade or otherwise - we clearly have a "new normal" for prices.
I'm not a pessimist in that I do think consumer computing will survive and we will not end up in a subscription-compute-only future. Prices will eventually go back to getting lower over time.
But I am guessing this one-time extreme re-pricing due to Trump's destruction of all consumer-focused price momentum, and the lack of AI regulation, have together cost us a decade before we're back at price parity per compute/RAM/storage costs even despite technological advancements.
