When it becomes clear that the insanely expensive AI data center orders are not going to be filled, we can expect a huge reversal in the price of RAM and GPUs. There are 241 GW of orders on the pipeline but only a third of that is under construction and of that third, even less is being quickly finished and brought online, It’s estimated that just 3GW came online last year.

Don't count on it. There's a lot of money in killing other businesses, or even just keeping prices high. Even if the high prices are an accident, there is always someone looking to take advantage of any situation for profit.

I have to agree. You only have to look at car and junk food inflation from after covid.

The prices make no sense, but that doesn't matter, they got away with it and are fighting to hold onto high prices, even as consumers balk. Their solution? Ditch poorer consumers. New cars and (branded) junk foods are luxury items now, apparently.

When weren't new cars luxury items exactly?

My last car was new and I bought it in for about $13,000 in late 2016. How is that a luxury?

Somebody needs to redub this with Hanoi Hannah from that video game as the voice of the AI industry.
