That’s a massively optimistic prediction if the AI economy doesn’t implode. It’s quite likely consumer electronics will be a faded memory (no pun intended) before they let people have their own devices again. I’d put it at 2035, with 2030 at the earliest.
If course if AI goes belly up, there could be a massive sell off and prices could drop as soon as next year… assuming there’s a global economy left to buy electronics at that point.
How would you prefer your tech apocalypse? Matrix or Mad Max?

Mad max, I don’t mind going rouge to scrounge for tech
I saw the matrix when I was too young for it, and that scene of humans being harvested for energy was burned into my mind. Fuck no, never that.
Well, don’t forget the third option:
Based on how markets responded during the AI stock selloff last week, an AI crash may not actually bring the the broader economy.
Maybe. Maybe not. We’re in uncharted waters and it could go a lot of different directions. There’s too many unknown variables right now.
