Or even more amusing in time for the bubble to burst, I hope the big RAM makers end up holding the whole bag for that. Greedy bastards.

Nearly the entire reason we're in this mess is because RAM/SSD/HDD makers are terrified of AI bubble bursting.

Long-term contracts, not building new fabs - they're in full on hedging mode right now.

Since you’re not greedy when there is a memory glut I’m sure you’ll be willing to pay extra to make it fair.

    Not at all, I’m going to relax with a cooling drink and watch the consequences of this unbelievably destructive and wasteful venture implode. I also adore the idea that it's on the customer to be "fair" to a company that dumped us a group in favor of chasing B2B money.

    Their choice, their consequences.

      I think they're talking about the past: memory has often been boom/bust. Memory manufacturers lose money during gluts, and did so long before AI. People benefit from cheap prices at that time.
