Semiconductor monopolies aren't in favor of technological singularity

Right now a few companies control the whole semiconductor chain, like ASML, TSMC, Carl Zeiss, JSR & Shin-Etsu. This results in a real bottleneck for AI development, & computing devices for consumers and businesses, as they either don't have the hardware to buy, or the hardware is extremely expensive today due to higher demand. While software and AI can be cheaper today (open source), hardware is getting more expensive due to those monopolies. Imagine how the world could be if we could just democratize a bit the semiconductor chain today. A monopoly-free semiconductor industry would decentralize the power of the digital age. It would shift the tech landscape away from a few trillion-dollar infrastructure giants and hand it to whoever has the best ideas, while forcing humanity to solve the massive energy crisis that unlimited computing would trigger. Intelligence explosion would benefit from a monopoly-free semiconductor industry in order to become a reality. I really hope companies and countries to try to make some progress on semiconductor chain and to break some monopolies.
