So basically the consumer market is screwed until the AI bubble bursts and manufacturers (GPUs, RAM, HDDs, etc.) can rebalance their production lines back to the pre-AI division of enterprise vs consumer product.
In 2030 you will own nothing.

I wish I believed the happy part
I think the happy comes with the unsaid "or else"
You be happy or you be soylent.
