@McWabbit The reason RAM prices went up is the bully billionaires want to outlaw personal ownership of computers and force us to use theirs instead, at considerable cost.

@McWabbit the hidden reason is to make devices so expensiventhat the only way to work or gaming is thru a basic device locked with a monthly subscription to cloud AI services.

@yugthebug The problem is unregulated capitalism. The billionaires will take some losses when the bubble burst. But it is nothing for them compared to the ordinary people and companies who get roped into this AI hype, dismissing personnel to be replaced by AI, face sudden subscription spikes, go under or reorganize, dismissing even more people.
Which triggers a real estate crisis resulting in a financial crisis, ordinary people who live from salary to salary get effed and the domino effect goes on.
And that’s only the economy. The added waste of resources that this AI bubble brings, contributes to the climate crisis greatly, which means even more upheavals and wars for fresh water, minerals and energy.
By then, not being able to afford RAM is the least of our troubles.
That’s one possible outcome.The techbros could also bank on us subscribing to their hardware lend-lease model. Which will still be a problem.

@yugthebug @McWabbit What, like how GPUs went back down after the silicon shortage? When the AI bubble bursts what people are paying now will be the new normal because people are still paying it.
