TLDR:
OpenAI made a deal to secure 40% of the global supply of wafers from both SK Hynix and Samsung (2 of the 3 large providers of RAM) ostensibly for project Stargate server farms. But it gets so much worse, they made both deals on the same day without advising the other company, and have not provisioned any way to actually use (make chips from) the wafers. It looks more like they’re just trying to keep RAM out of the hands of their competitors.
From there the laws of supply and demand and panic buying by everyone else took over, RAM prices are going to the moon, and Micron (the third big provider) dropped out of the consumer market because they’re gonna make bank in the server market as the only unencumbered company. Consumer general purpose computer customers are royally boned. This will flow through into the SSD market as well.
In short, Fsck the AI industry in general and Fsck ‘OpenAI’ and Sam Altman in particular. If you pray, pray that this deal gets a legal injunction in South Korea, coz you know the US will just applaud this fsckery.
Ok self cencoring is always bad.
If you want to avoid swear words use a different one like screw, curse, to hell or sth. Like that.
If you want to curse then just do it. Censoring it makes it weak and stupid.
And in my opinion no rules should ban the word fuck but allow f*ck.
It is useless and annoying.
But fsck (file system check) instead of fuck is a Unix joke. I think it’s fine.
Otherwise I broadly agree with you. It’s why I’ve adopted the swearing from Stormlight Archive for use around audiences that I shouldn’t swear around.
