I wasn't aware of that. It's a good point. Do they really care if people buy new computers these days, with all the smartphones/tablets/chromebooks that are in circulation? Probably not! I don't know anyone (personally) who still sits in front of the computer all day like I do.

You're right to suspect a connection to AI's demand, but how could us
upgrading our GPUs benefit the evil AI people? Maybe they expect to eventually have their AI more directly connected to our computers. There already is some kind of "Claude on your desktop" for top tier Claude subscribers.
