       Plenty of people is blaming "AI" in the abstract for the recent RAM price spikes, but I haven't seen anybody around here point to the actual and direct culprit of it all: Sam Altman secretly bought 40% of silicon wafers (not even produced RAM, just the silicon wafers) from two of the biggest RAM manufacturers, at the same time. Not even with specific plans for what kind of RAM do with them. This is just to mess up with competitors.Seriously, you can't hate OpenAI enough.https://www.mooreslawisdead.com/post/sam-altman-s-dirty-dram-deal

       @lain @starsider It's a pity this isn't like the GPU shortage of 2020-21 where I could buy a bunch of cards, burn them out crypto mining, then sell them used for more than I bought them.
