Did prices normalize and I missed my chance? It seems GPUs, RAM and SSDs haven't left the stratosphere in a year. The boeing space ship didn't stay up that long, and it was a boeing and thus not flight-worthy for most of its service period.
I think after this ends in 2 eyars - China will flood everyone with chips. their ram and gpu are becoming competative I can see another 2 years of this bullshit max.
GPUs and RAM are global commodities, like oil. China might bring prices down a bit in the short term by adding supply, but ultimately all will be bought up by the highest bidders, who currently seem to have insatiable demand, unlimited funding, and are hell-bent on wrecking the consumer market.
Eventually the money will run out. The spending is insane with very low demonstrable payoff.
I get that companies like Anthropic and SpaceX are claiming >25% of worldwide GDP as their TAM, but those numbers make zero sense. Zero.
Rational me agrees with you. But I’m worried that too large a portion of the globe’s growth is coming from AI right now. I feel like they will try to string this out for as long as possible.
The stock market?
(for now…)
Trump will sanction them and hopefully Europe will grow some balls and things might improve that waym
Briefly for GPUs, yes. I picked up a 5080 at the end of last year for msrp.
