This isn't just a shortage of helium, it is an extinction event. If the flow stops, the modern world stops. No Qatar means no computer chips. No chips means no AI, no no servers and of course the Data Centers will suffer.
I see. And I agree with you. Shortages occurred even before the attack on Iran, with AI data centers consuming vast volumes of DRAM and NAND flash memory. This was/is fueled in part by AI's massive appetite for high-speed storage. However, according to a statement from the company "Sony suspended the sale of memory cards due to the global shortage of semiconductors (memory) and other factors, including a helium shortage.".

I really don't care if the Data Centers suffer.
So, why did make the comment about Data Centers? anyway, I gave you more info, regardless if you care or not.
Because they are part of the problem.
