"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They're probably not selling enough consumer RAM to be worth it any longer. Saying they're pivoting to AI sales is pure C-suite talk to keep investors not only docile, but excited.
People just aren't building and upgrading PCs much anymore, present company excluded.
There is no way the Crucial brand was not profitable.
They aren't leaving an unprofitable brand, rather they are killing a profitable brand in order to pump its resources into an even more profitable b2b segment.
That's why people are annoyed. Micron didn't have to leave the market at all, but they are doing, because they are greedy.
Of course I'm not gonna build a PC when RAMs more expensive than the GPU
