No, companies obsessing over AI and growth over all else is ruining everything

Yes, RAM is ruining everything. Not RAM prices, not unprecedented corporate greed and corruption, not the AI bubble. No, it’s RAM runing everything.

AI Tech hubris and ego is what is wrong. These articles are pointing at the wrong thing as a distraction

There is no reason for the shortage. RAM companies have admitted they do not want to ramp up production to meet the demand because they’re afraid of the AI bubble popping and being left with massive quantities of memory that they now have no one to sell to. So instead they would rather screw the regular consumer and exploit the AI bubble for massive profit.

Anything but pointing to capitalism and/or the capitalists doing the thing.

Nope, it’s unbridled capitalism (AI this time) allowing the mighty to cause the vast majority to suffer from their greed and mission to dominate. I see comments about bubbles and whatnot… but, they [RAM manufacturers] have no obligation to take giant orders from these AI companies. Micron showed their cards and they said „screw you“ to the average consumer and went to the pot of cash. It sucks when we have zero ethics in business. There is nothing stopping a company from taking only limited orders from consumers. No average person would be buying 10TB of RAM. That is a completely different account. It’s all about shareholders and greed. The modern era sucks as we have allowed the consolidation of so much to so few.

No the problem is a company is able to buy a year of output in an industry that society has become dependent on.

Just wait until it trickles into the smart phone supply chain and suddenly the cheap phones are $1000+… Then people will really be crying.
But don’t worry, this shit will hit the fan, and the used IT market will be flooded with more ram and ssd’s and gpus than it can handle….

Companies fucking consumers is a sad affair but thinking that gaming is some critical activity that it needs to be protected is not a very serious notion

„AI Bros are Ruining Everything“ is the right title and topic.
Obligatory wish for AI BS bubble to bust NOW.
