So far, due to the AI boom, we're lacking:

* HDDs

* SSDs

* DRAM

* GPUs, obviously

* Power to hook up to our datacenters

Anything I'm missing? What a crazy world we're living in.

* Time to wade through all the AI slop

* Trust that what we are watching or reading is human-sourced and real

* Time for real creators' unique voices to remain unique

* Hope for society's future

We should be making some effort to quantify the amount and cost of slop produced by both AI and simpler automated systems (spinners etc), it's a huge negative externality.
