Good, now cancel their fucking ram orders
I'd bet a good amount of money that prices never do go back down, just like what happened with video cards after the crypto mining craze.
The crypto mining craze transitioned into the AI slop craze. If the AI slop bubble is finally bursting then all that ram will end up unsold and the price will come down.
Seriously bro, the prices will go down soon bro. I promise bro 😢
The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. One of the most frustrating adages about markets!
Don't buy em. Make them eat shit.
I'll never buy a stick of ram that costs more than a fucking computer should. Fuck 'em.
Video cards very much got cheaper after the craze. I sold my 2060 for 600 euros just to buy a 3060Ti for 400 6 months later when crypto prices collapsed. If I had waited a few months I could have paid 300 for it, but there was a game release that forced the timing.
They already did. OpenAI is pulling out of all their hardware acquisitions.
There might be aftershock tho
Source? I'd love this to be true

None of these big deals were binding contracts and lots of big investors are pulling out because the bubble seems to be popping.
