The RAM and SSD pricing situation is not unique to this project. AI data center demand has sent DDR5 prices through the roof over the past few months

…and I strongly believe that most of it is just foul play.

The AI companies are misusing their shitloads of venture capital to play with prices and manipulate the stock market.

I remember reading a few days ago that OpenAI basically ordered 3 times as much RAM as they ever could use. There are also data centers fully equipped but not turned on as the local power grid could not handle the added demand.

That power grid thing is what will ultimately pop the bubble.

The lack of last mile fiber is what popped the dot com bubble.

Turns out, spending a fuckload of money on unusable infrastructure is a bad thing.
