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.

How much would they have to pay if there was universal single payer health CARE, without the mega-billion dollar corporate parasite middle operations that Obama and Dems imposed?
Let's get real. It had been estimated at 68k dying each yr bc they can't afford the 'death panel' price.

Irrelevant at this point other than as yet another indicator of how anti-populist pro-establishment wealth the Democrat party is (Dem party boasted in legal proceedings that it didn't have to be democratIC).

@axios Even in a still image you can see Bernie's excessive hand gesturing, suggesting a manic or even 'lunic' quality. He could not seem able to temper that.
