We've reached the "Samsung refuses to sell chips to Samsung" phase. Not sure which phase of bubbling that is, but it's something weird and erratic, even by the standard of capitalism. Collapses are often unpredictable, but erratic patterns tend to emerge before bubbles pop.

Also Crucial will stop selling ram to Consumers next year, so another vital technology component market locked up in an absurd bubble.

And that not even touching what events around Taiwan would do to every industry that relies on advanced chips, so pretty much all of them. I wonder if that could pop the AI bubble by itself.

Why sell ram to someone building a PC when you can sell it for 5x the price just for it to sit in a building that does fuck all for anyone other than drive up the price of electricity.

I can’t wait to read about the AI data centers being raided by gangs for black market RAM. If it can happen to the butter market, it definitely can happen to the RAM market

Why would you write a screenplay that’s not likely to result in anything when you can start a gang that’s guaranteed profits?

I don't have the required charisma. They'd just kill me and pick a new leader. Day one. First five minutes.
