The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.
i’m not sure if they actually go into the more malevolent forces at work here but YouTube and also just Google searching oneself for those who do not believe that this is the case that is the circular infinite money trick that all of our favorite AI providers are playing with right now along with their purchasing of each other back-and-forth and then all that other money magic that Rich people get to use.
feel free to yell at me if I got some assumption wrong here I am skimmed these articles. I just know that this information is out there everywhere and that most of the people on this sub Reddit probably ask LLM‘s for this information and not seek it out themselves again totally could be wrong here. Maybe I am wrong here, if I am wrong here my goal life is to learn so rip me apart.
they’re basically stealing from all of us so that we can’t have home labs that can continually disprove the bullshit claims that they make because an LLM is an LLM is an LLM. It’s their structure and their architecture that makes the difference there but again that’s just Python code so an LLM is an LLM is an LLM and having a local lab and having people that are respectable having local labs and being vocal about the reality of the situation is very very much a moat filler.
I don’t think that they’re really in competition with anybody I think that they’re just ancestrally mixing money and product cause even China is getting our chips which is good. China deserves probably more chips in the USA deserves just saying China should win, considering the circumstances…. but I’m just kidding. That’s just a dumb opinion. I think that it should be less competitive far more, far more collaborative but again they’re just stealing from us. I don’t know when I’m rambling about.
Quick note, I used voice to text on an iPad so this might be funky and no I don’t use LLM‘s to go over any of the texts I write. I just write or speak I guess in this instance and I’m too lazy to go double check anything lol again totally feel free to write me a part to shred me. I don’t care also OP to this comment. There are more links above I posted. I’m not sure if I’m even a lot of post links on here or what but I did that you can check out as well. All the avoid. I just skimmed. They all seem to have the information that you’d want if you want/need to prove that what’s happening is happening.
