Its actually even worse, the not yet manufactured ram wasn’t actually purchased yet but reserved because the AI companies have non binding agreements that say they will purchase ram at a future date. Furthermore it will go in infrastructure that can only exist because big tech promises in non binding agreements to invest in AI. In order to meet the energy and manufacturing needs to build new datacenters they’re making contracts and hiring construction companies who will probably never get paid.
For an extremely short period of time the price of high end server parts and even standard PC parts will reach record lows causing nearly every tech company to face massive devaluations, the resulting economic crash will lead to a financial crisis causing inflation to spike rapidly.
I see no possible scenario that ends in anything but catastrophe. Only winning move is not to play type situation, except there is only one game and it’s forced on us and everyone is playing and the people controlling the rules are meth fueled gambling addicts.
Catastrophe? Oh no the ensuing economic crash is going to be the precursor to the actual catastrophe. The real disaster is going to be the response to the total economic meltdown which will either result in an absolute dictatorship, total civil war, or both simultaneously.
Depends on whether the market is actually allowed to crash or not. It was looking promising, then there was that DoD with chatgpt for target acquisition or spying or some such nonsense.

When the house of cards crumbles, we might be in for a treat, as there will be a big RAM surplus.
Haha jk there will be the Next Big Thing then to screw us over.
it took about 8-10 months after the crypto mining crash for them to push this AI bullshit.
that shit lasted what, 10 to 16 years?
The mining craze where gpus went up 3X IF you even could buy one?
That was from 2020 to 2022, with the late rtx 3000 and the launching of the rtx 4000.
Prices stayed up though, but not 3X, and without stock problems.

So…hold out for a couple of years and then buy when cheap RAM floods the market?

Money wasn’t real before, it certainly isn’t now.
