TLDR:
OpenAI made a deal to secure 40% of the global supply of wafers from both SK Hynix and Samsung (2 of the 3 large providers of RAM) ostensibly for project Stargate server farms. But it gets so much worse, they made both deals on the same day without advising the other company, and have not provisioned any way to actually use (make chips from) the wafers. It looks more like they’re just trying to keep RAM out of the hands of their competitors.
From there the laws of supply and demand and panic buying by everyone else took over, RAM prices are going to the moon, and Micron (the third big provider) dropped out of the consumer market because they’re gonna make bank in the server market as the only unencumbered company. Consumer general purpose computer customers are royally boned. This will flow through into the SSD market as well.
In short, Fsck the AI industry in general and Fsck ‘OpenAI’ and Sam Altman in particular. If you pray, pray that this deal gets a legal injunction in South Korea, coz you know the US will just applaud this fsckery.
Fsck? Are you self-censoring on Lemmy? Jesus fucking christ
ahem fuck shit bitch cunt dick that ass bastard bullshit dickhead dipshit
Please have these cursed words and be content with the freedom to express anger, outrage and emphasis.
They just want Sam Altman to run a filesystem integrity check, what's so hard to understand? /s
Truly, truly, truly pathetic
Fsck is fuck and suck in one convenient word.
No, Fsck, is File System ChecK for me and will always be.
