illyapanic The RAM crunch could kill products and even entire companies

「 The RAM shortage may affect everything that computing touches over the next several years, as only three companies control 93 percent of the entire DRAM market, and while those three companies are building more facilities, they don’t want to build too fast. All three have decided to prioritize profits instead of risking overproduction that could lose them money later 」

@jbz To be clear, it's not a shortage. RAM is a commodity much like paper towels and toilet paper. The same amount is produced at the same levels year over year. It's AI companies choosing to use money they don't have to corner the market in an industry that doesn't really exist.

@jbz I like this situation, as the pressure triggers innovation. We're already seeing this in action in the Chinese market.
