Is there an end to the RAM crisis? (feddit.cl)

for me RAM is a perfected technology, new buses will come, more speed, but it will fundamentally be the same manufacturing process, same materials. The prospect is that LLMs will keep getting larger, more RAM will be required, and the prices will keep getting higher, or along the curve, while the demand will keep up with it because everything has RAM in it. Do you see a point in the future where the industry forks out of this, and there's an alternative where the end user is not affected as much from the demand of this resource?

Agreed. They are building new factories now that will come online in several years

Who are "they"? The current crisis is not due to Samsung, SK Hynix or Micron having capacity issues. They don't want to up their production currently as they plan for the AI bubble to burst and sitting on product when that happens will be costly.
