That's the least significant reason for beating Sam Altman to death.

Once you’ve been searching on the internet for a fact, you’ll never stop wanting to beat every AI tech bro to death with your bare hands.

whaaat? did he really say this or is this ai?

ai is so realistic now.

What was the original quote?

I have 128g of Corsair ddr5 I am saving to pay for my sons tuition in 15 years.

I bought a new laptop with 16 GB of DDR5 (8 GB soldered and 8 GB socketed) as it was super cheap for an 8840HS, and was planning to buy a 48 GB SODIMM for 120€ but held off on it for multiple reasons, thinking "it can wait and I can make do with less memory for now"

Yeah that 48 GB stick now costs 500€ which is just 50€ short of the entire laptop...

I mean I would still wanna do that even if it reduced costs to like $300 for a fully spec'd dream system.

Even if it cost me $300 per hit, if stop turn him into a vegetable. That'd be the best money ever spent.

wait until the bubble crashes and we have tons of ram in the pipeline with no dedicated buyers

I saw 32GB of DDR4 RAM at best buy the other day for around 400 bucks. Which wasn't adding up for me at all but ok

Aaaaaa

Do it!

Sam Altman has nothing to do with the current RAM shortage. Moreover, this is not the first RAM shortage. It also occurred during the earlier crypto-mining boom, and at that time no one was having public meltdowns trying to hunt down the inventor of Bitcoin.

The reason there is a RAM shortage is straightforward, the manufacturers that control the majority of production have chosen to sell primarily to a single industry because that is where the highest margins currently exist. From a financial standpoint, they have little incentive to sell to anyone else.

If you are looking for accountability, direct it at the large corporations that are deliberately allocating supply to maximize profit. They are the ones shaping the shortage, not individual tech executives.
