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?

There will be a point where LLM investment scales back to fit closer to its actual economic productivity, once these companies and VCs run low on cash to shovel into the furnace. Then the prices will drop.
