Uh… no? It’s the GPU… they’re eating up the memory just to make the hardware themselves. AI is secondary to the GPU for what it’s being used for.
Sometimes I wish my main hobby didn’t require the same heavily production-limited technical components as energy-hungry money sinks mainly run by financial speculators and criminals (private or state-run).
First Crypto, now AI.
The techlords have 90% of the money people are about to figure out what that really means.
Imagine how fast this cycle moves. First GPUs and power demand were the bottleneck, now AI is pushing memory to its limits. Every new tech wave ends up reshaping entire industries almost overnight.
On the plus side when all of this goes tits up there’s going to be shit loads of excess memory chips going for cheap!
And for what?
Hopefully it doesn’t come to the point where this AI craze would ruin fresh water – rivers, lakes, natural underground reservoirs.
And pretty much nobody except rich fks asked for this
The real cycle is that the costs of whatever it is that needs upgrading real bad on my end goes up the second I’m about to cave and seriously start looking into prices.
