I hope they go tits up when the bubble bursts, traitors.

That's fully within their interest too, as long as it's more monies.
... I don't think we have the correct system to run the planet like this.
There's always infinite time and money in the void of delusion we call home
As soon as corporate contracts dry up they'll go back to consumers but at a higher price point just like GPUs.
Or are you not going to buy ram ever again?
not going to buy ram ever again?
I mean, it certainly feels like I won't for at least the rest of this decade. I'm glad when I built my AM4 rig, I splurged a bit for 32 GB. If the market doesn't doesn't fix itself, I see myself keeping what I have running for much longer than it should. You know that one older relative that ran windows 95 and AOL well into the Obama administration? That feels like my future tbh at least on the hardware side.
I hope AMD fires up the plant to build 5800x 3D again so I can max out my rig as it stands. My plan for my next build will likely be AM6 or even 7 if I can stretch my current PC for that long, else, i might have to give up on personal computers as a hobby.
I fear the future is getting time on a remote computer at university at best with a terminal again. That environment will be ripe for exploitation and holding people's data hostage even moreso than the current cloud system.

If they ramp up production and the bottom falls out of AI, they could be left with large product reserves, and people may still be reluctant to buy. One way to increase demand is to lower prices. Now, if they are the only company in this position, things may not change much. But if more than one are, the other can supply the market at a price that's acceptable to them and the consumers.
Or those companies can collude and just completely fuck over customers. But that would never happen, right?
I know the chips being made by Nvidia for AI use aren't compatible with consumer hardware. So I'm assuming that whatever Micron makes for AI will be the same, unfortunately.
Look at these products you will never be able to buy!
Exactly what I was thinking, what did they have in that stand, a retrospective of their line up? A trip down memory lane? I'm sorry I'll see myself out.
Over here we have an example of, what was, our most popular memory kit. Please don't attempt to touch them. Our security shoots.
That might be a bit awkward
Damn, I just installed the last brand new Crucial SSD that I had... Should I take it out and sell it as a collector's piece?
