Bezos was talking about computer rental being the future of the market.
Presumably with him reaping the rewards.

Just trying to kill the DIY PC market. You will buy the Paystation, Xbox, and Steam machine and like it. No user upgradable hardware. Only upgradable models. All non-console GPUs, CPUs, and DRAM are for AI alone.

Yeah, just read that article here. Follow the money. They never stop enshittifying, trying to force people into walled gardens that are as shittily built and expensive as possible.

That implies there’s some thought behind this. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

Never attribute to profit?

Sure… but I don’t think there’s any particular malice towards people that build PCs. Just greed and incompetence. Gotta buy up GPUs that there isn’t enough electricity to run to drive up the share prices!
But when the bubble bursts and hardware gets cheap, is that something we’d considered to be goodwill towards people building PCs? Or will it just be a side-benefit of incompetence?
Just ebbs and flows of incompetence to me.

I figure I would just stop at greed. I don’t think there’s incompetence, they know what they’re doing to maximize profit. Our concerns being DIY PC builders are pretty low on their radar.
