The AI 'revolution' is subsidized by all of us:

1) Permanently increased device costs, across all devices (phones, laptops) memory, ssd, cpu supply chains built for people are hijacked by mega corps 2) Permanently increased power prices 3) Government subsidies, contracts and the eventual bailouts 4) Job losses

AI will cost the rest of us trillions. Third world countries with sub-saharan living conditions are also offering mind boggling incentives to these companies for what will be 50 - 100 jobs total: https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2025/Oct/15/google...
