Quite the opposite. Personally owned compute will become the exclusive territory of the rich.

which is why there is no hoarding of all the computers and RAM for data centers that don’t even exist.I'm seeing a 5ish year long realignment toward consumer electronics -- after the bubble bursts and the initial economic havoc clears. The primary suppliers will have detooled all the 'user grade' supply chains by the end of 2026.
Getting back to making affordable RAM, performant cpu, and storage that you can buy and practically use as an end user is going to be hard.
If the bubble bursts today, I don't need 10-20 rack units of gpu and power sucking high performance storage.
I need a phone with an unbroken screen, and a laptop with double the cores, memory, and ssd of the one I bought four years ago.
Datacenter gear at discount prices doesn't fit in my backpack.

Most consumers need consumer gear. We need lawnmowers and hand pushed snowblower. Everything being built for the AI bubble is a 10m wide combine
You can't put what they're having built under a desk, or in a laptop, or as 512g storage in a thumb drive
