Large language models such as ChatGPT and Claude are so resource-hungry that tech companies may be purchasing  of the world’s supply of high-end computer memory, causing a shortage. As a result, the prices of computer memory and storage are skyrocketing: Hard drives that I bought for my reporting two years ago for $350 each were $800 when I checked two weeks ago, and are now out of stock. The prices of some laptops have gone up as much as 50 , and low-cost computers are being hit the hardest. Affordable entry-level computers may “disappear by 2028” according to . And the memory shortage is  to continue for years.\n\nThe memory is being put into data centers, which tech firms are expanding at incredible speed.
