"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.

So what will it do to memory prices if the AI bubble pops right now?
Prices stay elevated but stop increasing, because, as we've learned from the "supply chain issues" of covid, prices must never come down even if the supposed cause of price increases is resolved.
Three ideas, one, memory chip makers pivot back to their usual lanes (maybe we get a glut and prices drop). Two, memory chip makers sink and bought by new memory chip makers (maybe more competition). Three, memory chip makers implode and machines are lost (production loss and prices shoot up). Any of these options will probably result in prices remaining the same sadly.
