End result: the AI industry will get 50% more chips, the rest of us plebs will still be waiting for new GPUs to hit the market...

It's impressive to see that there still was so much room left to improve EUV, but I can't help but be royally pissed off that it will be a looooong time before we the people see any practical benefit of it.

Yes, and these days both AMD and Intel have announced that their next generation of desktop CPUs, Zen 6 and Nova Lake, which are expected to have very significant improvements over the current CPUs (including much more cores for both and AVX-512 for Intel), have been postponed for next year, instead of being launched this year, as originally planned.

This delay is presumably caused by both the lack of production capacity at TSMC, which is busy with AI, and by the fear that any launch of a new CPU would be crippled by the impossibility to buy DRAM and SSDs for new computers.

It's high time for governments to step in and do some Soviet style regulation. This AI shit is getting out of hand, it's not healthy for any economy when one group of actors has so much money that they can buy out entire classes of Things that are vital for any society to be at least somewhat affordable and widespread.
