  3. The cheaper AI tokens get, the more expensive memory becomes. Inference costs fell 280-fold in two years; enterprise AI spending tripled anyway, and DRAM contract prices just posted a record 90-95% quarterly jump. Jevons saw this pattern in 1865 with coal. A look at what actually rebalances the chip market...

  10. Claude Sonnet 5 launched at less than half the flagship's price with ninety percent of its benchmark performance. The natural conclusion: AI is getting cheaper, so chip demand should ease. Every data point says otherwise.

    Inference costs fell 280-fold between 2022 and 2024 (Stanford AI Index). Enterprise AI spending tripled to $37B in 2025 anyway. DRAM contracts rose a record 90-95% in Q1 2026, NAND is projected up 70-75% in Q2, and SK Hynix has sold out its entire 2026 output. William Stanley Jevons described the mechanism in 1865: make a resource cheaper to use, and total consumption rises.

    The article walks through what this means chip by chip — DRAM, NAND, GPUs, and why CPUs are the calm exception — plus the strongest counterarguments (ASICs, MoE, small models) and why they fall short. One practical takeaway: retired server memory is appreciating for the first time in years.

    "less AI" is still AI.
    "less meat" is still meat.

    if your AI slop generator is "more effective," that still does not mean less AI. see #JevonsParadox:
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_p

    stop trying to sell us your " #vegan " AI by pretending it's "less AI."

    Hate to break it to you, but (a) the #JevonsParadox has been a thing for about two centuries, and (b) the atmosphere and oceans neither know nor care how many people are on the plane.

  28. We have made LED bulbs and fuel efficient engines 10x better than they were decades ago. But instead of using less energy, we just built bigger houses, brighter cities, and heavier SUVs.

  29. The problem of too many cars isn’t just about the tailpipes. And although EVs seemingly address that issue (or “move” much of it, depending on the electricity source), their increased weight, and the potential increase in size and distance driven (due to #JevonsParadox) make EVs “complicated.”

  34. I’ll make this VERY clear — if you don’t understand very well critical truths like #InducedDemand (aka the Irrefutable Law of Congestion) and its twin truth #JevonsParadox, you are not qualified to make transportation-related decisions affecting cities. And your profession will make cities worse.

  39. Jevons Paradox vs the DC bubble narrative.

    DeepSeek cut AI training cost by 95%. Bears said demand would fall.

    What happened: Meta raised capex to $65B. Amazon to $200B. Microsoft held at $80B.

    Per-unit cost drops 90%, total volume rises 1,000%. Every efficiency gain bears cite AGAINST DC demand is evidence FOR it.

  41. DeepSeek matched top US AI models at a fraction of the cost. If efficiency makes AI cheaper, do we use the same amount more efficiently or way more? This is the heart of Jevon's paradox. poppastring.com/blog/what-abou #AI #JevonsParadox
