  1. Brought to you by the company going all into AI and giving consumers the finger by killing Crucial. 

  2. Reminds me of the chip shortage/used prices selling for more than new situation a few years back…

  3. Thank god i upgraded my PC this year – i thought i was getting ripped off at the time, and i probably was, but i guess its all relative huh

  4. Still kicking myself for not buying a Samsung QVO 8tb ssd for $300 *several years ago* because I thought they’d cost even half that in a couple more years

  5. Social Media was the biggest mistake of the 2010s.
    Now we are “training” the “AI” with that data…

    Has current AI improved anyone’s lives? Do you think you’re better off with these new tools than you were without them?

  7. They can go fuck themselves with their warnings. They’re acting like it’s all out of their control when they’ve made the decision to fuck consumers and feed this bubble.

    I get it, they like money and they get paid cash regardless of what happens with this stupid bubble but fuck them all the same.

  8. It’s already public that OpenAi signed the deals to get 40% of worldwide ram wafers production for the next few years. So it is clear the shortages won’t end by the end of next year

    When they announced dropping the crucial brand it was already clear, that the impact of servicing the AI data center demand would last well into 2027. There have been additional deals since then, that will prolong this even further – and we probably haven’t seen the last of those deals either, so this might last quite a while longer.

  10. The powerful shouldn’t really rock the boat on accessible gaming platforms.

    There’s so many angry people being held together with string and ps5s. 

  11. Warns? They’re blowing their own horn to back their own shift towards AI.
    The gravy train cannot crash soon enough.

  12. No “demand” makes it’s sound like theres a consumer demand for it. There’s no demand, just a desire to increase supply

  13. I honestly did not expect any tech trend to be more stupid than NFTs but once again Silicon Valley venture capitalists and business idiots bested me.

    I hope the consumer market remembers the Micron name when the floor falls out of the “infinite growth” of AI and they come crawling back looking to prop up their stock price.

  15. I became interested in computers because they to do things I couldn’t do otherwise. Now, while it’s undeniably true that it ids the people in the tech industry pushing this, it feels as if computer “AI” systems themselves are working to take back and control everything, and their appetite is endless consuming not only jobs but the energy supplies people rely on to run the non-AI devices (lights, refrigerators, HVAC systems, etc) that people rely on.

    The idea that we, as humans, think that training on limited data sets generated over around the past 200 years can compete with living systems painstakingly evolved over billions of years seems absurd. The amount of information embedded in living systems almost unfashionable. “AI”-based systems can be useful tools, but they, just like living organisms, including humans, have limits, and, no matter how much energy we supply, those limits will always exist
