Why are there people even defending this piece of shit? He is a billionaire, just like all the others, and he is actively ruining society. He does not give two shits about the people. He is a sociopathic egocentric piece of shit. Just like all the others.
He artificially created the RAM and GPU crisis. He is part of the reason for the state of society today. May he forever suffer.
May the universe hear my prayers and kill this piece of shit human being.
I’ve been claiming this RAM shortage could end very suddenly, because bankruptcies could void most 3 year advance orders in a matter of days.
This kind of proves it if true. It doesn’t even have to be bankruptcies!!
My guess is that we will have cheap RAM already next year. 😀
I just want some HDDs for my server, that’s all. Is that too much to ask? They’re fire now. $300 for a 4tb HDD? That’s a crime.
Everything will follow down in price. It’s only a matter of when. For now we are fucked.
Unlikely because ram has been retooled for hbm server gpus. It will be another year before it’s back to ddr5.
So cheap GPUs then? I could live with that.
The Datacenter GPUs can’t be used for graphics, unfortunately.
Now, if you want a compute firesale…
Time to learn soldering!
Hard to say how much of the demand induced price increases are based on anticipated chips for future purchase under multi-year contracts that may simply evaporate. Often prices are based on future predictions, not here-and-now supply ane demand.
DDR5 demand is part of it, not all the RAM shortage is HBM on the GPU. Those server boards have massive amounts of DDR5 too.
The chips made for data centers aren’t consumer grade. I doubt there will be a sudden decrease in RAM prices even with a few bankruptcies.
Funny how Sam Altman is complaining about RAM in ordinary PC’s?
Because sam is an idiot,but he probably is talking about future ram. Insteadof the basic componemts going towards future personal ram, he wants everythong diverted to the cloud.
Sam is an idiot, let’s just leave it at that and be in agreement. 😋
No we can’t, because the second part of my explanation makes the case that he is also evil. And Trump is a perfect example of how far being evil can get you, no matter how stupid you are.
OK an evil idiot, I’m absolutely fine with that too. 👍
I also agree regarding Trump, and let’s throw in Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Zuckerberg et al.
Hey Sam, I have 64 gb and the most I’ve been able to use at one time is 30, Cry Bitch I’m wasting RAM you could be using. lol
You MONSTER!!
That’s not the point. The problem is that these giant AI datacenter buyers have signed contracts promising to reserve all of the chip foundries’ future production for however many years. The chips causing this “shortage” for the most part aren’t even made yet.
Maybe. Taiwan amount for 2-3% of the global RAM production, only. When - some say if, but it doesn’t look like it - China decides to start a war with Taiwan and it turns out they can’t invade the island in just a few weeks, it could have an effect on their RAM production. China covers 10%. Other RAM manufacturers: South Korea 63%, Japan, also would be affected, I guess?
That does not mean the RAM is by TSMC or made in Taiwan. What it means is that Nvidia preordered BOTH.
And without much complications to the “market”. Since the 3 yrs supply they “bought” in advance was never paid for. Find a way to void the contracts and start making stuff people actually want to buy. It’s not like nvidia is going to actually pay them at this point. E:typo
The only thing more exciting than prices correcting is having cheap ram subsidized by Nvidia shareholders.
I don’t think that’s how it works, I bet Nvidia is making a huge profit on that RAM.
When the prices collapse, we don’t need RAM to be subsidized, and for now RAM is expensive because of Nvidia.
So I don’t really follow your logic.

@Buffalox @nothrone that would be #awesome and the end of #ramshortage ? :D
