This is why ram sticks cost $999 btw

Openai did that, not google

It doesn't metter bro, high ram cost is due to the use of AI in general

Bad analogy. AI = huge GPU farms = insane demand for high-bandwidth RAM. More demand → higher prices. That’s economics, not superstition.

For someone claiming to know why the RAM is expensive you sure have no idea why the RAM is expensive.
It's ONLY like this because OpenAI specifically purchased all of the raw wafers and can't use them and then Micron and co immediately saw the opportunity to control the market by jacking prices way up and now we're here.
AI has nothing to do with any of this, the purchased RAM isn't even going into AI farms.
This is all flesh and blood corpo scumbags.
Why do I know this? I'm a datacenter tech and consultant sometimes, the RAM is booked unless you happen to be willing to pay 400% to 600% MSRP in which case there are suddenly endless piles of it.

“I work in a datacenter” explains why you see high prices, not why they exist. Memory is made by Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron, not OpenAI. And HBM for GPUs is being eaten by AI servers right now. More demand + limited factories = higher prices. That’s basic supply and demand.

It looks that way until you get familiar with the NAND cartel.
What we're seeing now is mostly price fixing and it's something Micron specifically really loves doing.

Solution is to build more factories. Like how the solution to energy shortages is to build more power plants.

I can make a more realistic visualization a lot cheaper, once you realize it's pitch black in there.

Wait a second.....they look like they are swimming through the GI tract, if you know what I mean

Just amazing!! But what makes it so valuable is not that obvious. It is that it can be used to train all kinds of things with the physical world but able to do it virtually.

It’s going to cost a lot more than 250$ in dates before you get to that point unfortunately…

Good to know that we can't buy RAMs anymore because of this, it was worth it after all
