      Even if you boycott WD, the AI companies are spending 18x more than the entire consumer market.

      This is where any sensible country would call for antitrust.

      The externalities and consequences from this are going to fuck up the world economy, hard.

      WD? They are already not planning to sell to us.

      I guess AI companies? I’m already not buying anything from them. They also supposedly operate at a loss. I guess all the AI tech bros pay them, but they aren’t easy to persuade otherwise.

      At this point it’d be all of them, but unless you’re running a data center buying drives by the hundreds or thousands there’s not a lot of impact you can make.
