I wonder how much the end Moore's law is a part of this current slowdown. It would make sense to me that its impact would lag a while, and would eventually catch up.

I don't know if it's moores law. except for servers, CPUs are mostly running near idle.

My intuition would say tech saturation would make more of a difference. That is, worldwide pretty much everyone have now has adopted a computer and all businesses have automated the low hanging fruit.

There are probably a lot of companies that could see huge automation benefits but can’t a due to inefficient corporate structure. They might take decades to die though
You put in words what I was thinking. Thank you for your comment :-)
Moore’s law ending? I’d say declining birth rates is at least an order of magnitude more important. If the future has half as many consumers and producers, scientists and engineers, entrepreneurs, etc. what do you think GDP and the stock market will look like?
