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?

I'd say it's certainly possible for the economics and business strategy to shift in a manner where consumers get a much worse deal like this indefinitely. But it's really haad to say if it's actually going to play out that way or we experience a return to the previous equilibrium
