Average IQ answers:

>we live in the matrix bro, money is fake bro
>the price increase is the correction bro, this is intended, haha

Serious answer:

The way market mechanisms correct this is to produce more memory, as it's something that could clearly be profitable while selling at much lower prices. It is now a clear business opportunity to produce memory. However, that needs time because there need to be new factories for that. Maybe people think it's a temporary thing and aren't even going to do anything about it, but if it's permanent, then that's probably what will happen, and what already happens all the time when demand for things increases.

According the Grok 64 MB of RAM in 1995 would cost $2000.
Now you can get 64 GB of DDR4 RAM for $750

So what are you complaining about?

Look you can get 128 MB of RAM for $35.
What, you need more?

Top of the line consumer components have always been pricey. When the Gateway 1500 dropped in the 2000s it boasted a "whopping" 128 MB of RAM and a "colossal" 16 GB platter hard drive, and the system cost upwards of $4K. Now 25 years later people are bitching that a top of the line desktop with 128 GB of RAM and a 16 TB NVMe SSD hard drive costs about the same.

A thousand-fold increase in memory and storage over a single generation, and everyone just whinges that it's still expensive.

>>523860322
Ever since Covid this is the new way of pricing. Everything is a shortage everything is a panic-buy psuedo-auction.
Companies learned that retards would happily pay hundreds of dollars for worthless and plentiful toilet paper just because the media created an artificial panic and now that is how everything is sold. The covid experiment is going to continue to fuck us for decades.

Modern consoomers are just really stupid and brainwashed to the point corps have them by the balls.
Contrary to all the people crying about being poor, reality is that consoomers have massive amount of excess wealth or this wouldn't be happening, everybody is rich. Normalfags don't bat an eye over dropping $50 for dinner or a few thousand over a weekend.
We have 2K GPUs but every nearly every normalfag kid still manages to get their hands on one to the point stocking is the only thing actually holding them back, meanwhile people are ravenous to throw piles of money away no matter how expensive it is.

Transistors and chips and the Internet were both invented through massive government funding. The former from Fairchild, AT&T Bell Labs, and other heavily government funded and partial government labs, and the latter through DARPA which was directly government. Solar cells were also invented at MaBell.

Nuclear energy was also a government development. Most massive breakthroughs are funded at least in part by government through the NSF, DOD, DOE, and other such things. Sandia Labs, LANL, the list goes on.

Capitalism only works when it is state-controlled and allocated to align with governmental and societal objectives. The "golden age" of technological development from around 1850 until 1980 in the USA was essentially government-run, just like as China is currently doing. American boomers were too retarded to realize this, and the old crusty fucks still alive fail to realize that "muh capitalism" that worked was tightly controlled. Laissez-faire and/or lightly-restricted capitalism leads to complete oppression of The People and a slave/serf society, which is true tyranny, and which we are experiencing right now.

The Soviets had computers but they were rare and they were shit.
Depending on how liberal you are with your definition of communism you could argue you'd have better computers because China is almost on par with the west and will soon surpass us and their computer parts are way cheaper
China is of course a lot closer to national socialism than communist, they are certainly not Stalinist or Marxist-Leninist.
>>
>>523859520
Because correct doesnt mean "what I prefer" and actually what you are seeing IS market force corrections. All the new data centers going up are creating massive demand for RAM which is driving up the price to the correct level based on those market forces.

When DDR6 comes out and we have TB sticks of RAM all this DDR5 will go on sale. It might be painful now, but this is exactly what the industry needed to push innovation. In 2028, anons will be complaining about the price of 1 TB kits of DDR6, while you can get a perfectly good kit of 128 GB for $400.

Because our current iteration of the market isn't interested in providing services or products, it's interested in finding infinite money glitches. Everyone wants everything they want instantly, perfectly, and forever, and that includes the retarded CEOs/CFOs ramming multi-billion-dollar multinational corporations into the dirt over LLMs.
>Could it be that capitalism doesn't work after all and the whole thing is a scam?
No. Try not trading anything for a profit ever and see how far that takes you. Even fucking North Korea practices (black market) capitalism. If you want your nation to have a say in its own fate, you need resources and ways to move them for capital. This has been the prime motivator for national growth for the past 500 years proper. It's just that, once again, this "free market" leaves the retards bullriding the funds to steer the ship wherever they so choose, and they keep choosing the rocks because that's where the sirens are. Regulation only ever happens post-fuckup. Strap in.

Yes, free market can not make products suddenly appear. It takes years to build more RAM factories.
The problem is the sudden spike in demand because of the AI bubble, bubbles favored by the not-so-free-market central banking system!
The situation would be the same in a socialist country if the Politburo suddenly decided to bet the farm on AI and build dozens of AI datacenters.

It does mean "what I prefer". People prefer eating over starving. If the way the free market works was not relative to what people prefer, then it'd make no sense to say it works.

>>523861758
Let's say that's true for the sake of the argument. Most inventions are actually from individual people, but still.

Government funded research came up with nuclear power and advancements on computers, so what. If the economy was controlled by bureaucrats, people wouldn't have a computer at home. The government would never have any reason to mass produce them. Or to make electricity available in people's homes. Governments come up with science or inventions for their purposes, pass laws on what to do with them, follow procedures, and that's it, they don't care if things could be done more efficiently, don't face any market competition, and don't have to produce based on people's demand. And the more capitalism is tightly controlled, the more similar to a centralized economy it becomes. Like how housing is expensive due to zoning laws.

Free markets aren't intended to maintain price stability, they maintain supply stability. Price goes up to ensure demand doesn't outpace supply resulting in shortages. That's why price gouging is a thing when goods are scarce in free markets. That's also why capitalist economies always have bread on store shelves, while communist countries have bread lines and weekly bread quotas.

Because they weren't expecting to go backwards.
Over the course of a month we went back 10 years.
My shitty 2012 laptop is now suddenly back to midrange in terms of specs and price.
Would be a great time to own a computer shop that was closed for a couple weeks and realize all your inventory is now worth 5 times what it was before.

Wouldn't be surprised if in 2 years people are going to be back to 20GB hard drives and 1G RAM. Then corps will tell you do do all your work and processing remotely through datacenters and pay for it a service.
I already bought my shit in the last couple years because I somewhat expected this sort of thing but now I have to piss my pants over it breaking since it's now like some irreplaceable lost technology.

Stupid governments print trillions of dollars during covid and 2008, that money landed in VCs (venture capitalist), VCs gave trillions to shitty tech companies that don't make any real money like OpenAI, OpenAI buys 40% of all RAM to stop their competitors because their best people left and their product has turned to shit, now we can't buy RAM.

Did you know production can be increased you fucking idiot? Otherwise what's the point of the free market if prices are just going to go through the roof to "balance"?

The population now is much higher than a century ago, yet we can still afford food. Shouldn't the free market, according to you, have increased food prices massively to "balance" demand with the same supply?

>>523862915
It's okay bro, I'll figure out what words mean one day.

Kek what an autist.

When people say the free market is better than socialism, it does mean according to what people want. Otherwise it'd be meaningless to say that it works.

Communism also works: The government sets laws, procedures and quotas on production, and they are certainly enforced and obeyed. It works! Sure, people suffer, but working doesn't mean "what I prefer".

>muh free market
Adam Smith even pointed out that when industrialists get together they conspire to control the market. Modern studies prove that when a market has fewer than 6 competitors prices stop going down. A "free market" without anti-trust laws is a bad thing, it leads to monopolisation and rent-seeking.

There is no free-market, that's why patent laws and business regulations exist and "Capitalism" is simply a construct of Marx used to describe the current exconomic system of his time. There is no formalised system of "capitalism".

Formalised systems of communism on the other hand have always sucked massive dick and been left behind. If you're still arguing about communism vs capitalism you're about 100 years late. The world has been moderately socialist since 1945. The current problems in the worlds economy stem from the fact that anti-trust laws have not been enforced because of lobbying and tariffs have not been used against subsidising nations because of lobbying.

In the UK the King had all the power, until magna carta gave power to the Lords because they had all the money. Then the colonists assumed the power, because they had the money. Then the industrialists had the power because they had the money. Now the globalist and financiers have the power, because they have all the money. Money begets power, and creating value for people creates money. The problem with the economy is that globalisation and finance are no longer creating value for people. Communism won't fix it. Modern technology will, just as it has for thousands of years under the system of "capitalism". The socialist governments can only fund their welfare from taxation of companies (and employees) who create value for others with their products. The highest profits come from new technologies, therefore all governments depends on new technology to maintain their systems.

The EU lags both America and Asia in technology and surpasses them in welfare. It will break.

On the internet I can, and not only do I not care that you don't like me because I say complicated things, I can even tell you how stupid you are, all with no repercussions. Kek

Price goes up because demand goes up, yes, but the increase in price also drives up demand because it is an incentive to produce ram as it should be very profitable now. The increase in price is only the immediate reaction, the real correction comes when more of it is produce. Otherwise the whole system would be useless.

What AI should be used for is data analysis. This is something AI can be useful for, but only people who know what they are doing actually use it that way. Ask an LLM AI to give you a statistical analysis will result in the LLM just making shit up. To properly use AI you'd have to train it on specific data pertaining to what you want to use it for.

Depends. Can you last 5 years with the current amount you have? If yes, it's a very obvious no. The prices will come down eventually. This is a kind of temporary thing because AI tech creates enough RAM demand so they can move past DDR altogether.
If you can't survive 5 years, then it's more tricky.

I have bad news for you, it makes things up half the time. If you use it to search stuff then you're fed lies half the time.

The "grok is this true" are pants shitting retards.

It's kinda useless for coding. It can help sometimes but it's nothing compared to stack overflow and regular auto complete. If you start typing a couple words and it automatically suggests the full variable name, you can write code very fast. AI making you code based on a description is then kind of redundant.

The AI videos are slop nobody intentionally looks at or is interested in. It's just in the way when you're trying to find something that actual people made. Most people hate it.

The other day there was this video on twitter from the CEO of nvidia who said the internet will change, and instead of storing content and then retrieving it, it will all be generated on the spot by AI. Sure bro, no reason to retrieve a message someone sent me, AI can just guess what they must've said. AI can also "generate" my friends social media photos I guess. Jfl this idiot has no idea why people even use the internet.

Even for gooning, I want to look at actual women whom I know would be disgusted by me masturbating to their pics, not some soulless AI pic.

Porn sites already have AI filters because of the sheer amount of garbage that got flooded in them. AI will never get rid of its association with slop because its simply too easy to make huge volumes of slop with it. Bootleggers have always created slop, now they have a tool that allows them to create that slop in record speed. So they are going to use it. Websites that won't have AI filters will eventually drown in slop and become major pain in the ass to navigate.

So? I don't want to just hope that it's correct. If I look something up I want the truth.

And with the way it works, it's going to be VERY hard to make it so it stops lying. Because it doesn't know what it means that something's true. It's a statistical model and says the truth more by repetition because it's in the training data, but just like it'll come up with a story if you ask it to, it'll just as easily respond with a blatant lie to a question.

The market naturally rejects monopolies because the monopoly literally prices itself out of the market with greed.

Infact, I’d wish Trump would Tomahawk TSMC and squeeze the life out of Nvidia. Just to make an example to CEO’s who fly to close to the sun holding the entire collective global stock market at gunpoint because this absolutely cartoonish display of greed. Something that can only be matched by a cartoonishly stupid decision such as kneecapping yourself by destroying 5-7nm production entirely. Because why not?

In order to lowball Nvidia you need tp develope your own chips, find a manufacturer who will make your chip and won't steal your IP (good luck since you can only find them in China and Tawain now) then you also have to find companies willing to put your chip in their graphics card, or create your own graphics card, then you have to market it.

The real reason is because they don't have the capacity for it. Approximately 25% of web traffic is for porn. But this is videos and imagery. Neither OpenAI nor Google have the capacity to generate porn videos at scale yet.

Wonderful how you think monopolies can actually survive without puppeting governments and have to then run them like Israel runs the US or else the company goes under due to a lack of funding in its entirety despite being the whole fucking market share. This happened to thousands of companies in the USSR for the same reasons why the stock market is bullshit now. This isn’t capitalism, and Nvidia is being directly subsidized by the US government and has exposed the Dollar to a massive bubble that will fucking implode and take everything else with it. And Huang will be found dead in his bathroom of an overdose, pants around his ankles, rigor dick with a porn magazine slumped over his leg, full of cocaine wearing that perfectly inlaid snake jacket.

Instead, they'll whine how expensive all these luxury goods have become, while still piling them up in their shopping cart anyway.

China is officially a socialist market economy run by people with communist ideals.

70% of the economy is state-owned enterprises

Nothing important like energy, transportation, education, food, healthcare, housing, etc. is allowed to run by capitalists

They only allow capitalists to control shit like Labubus, and they have zero political power

You can't own land in China, all land is owned by the CCP.

the market did react and thats why the prices are high. ram manufacturers are focusing on industrial demand right now, not commercial demand to sit on a shelf for 6 months.

Actually they intentionally stopped producing RAM earlier this year to artificially lower supply and raise prices

There is only 3 companies producing advanced DRAM and none of them are "competing"

They need to be forced by law to never intentionally cut production even if they think there's "over supply" and "prices are too low".

this choujin gets it. it's mostly a distinction without a difference. the chinese govt is more honest about how it's meddling in enterprises. usa/the west does it via number games, inflation and general kikery

Free market doesn't mean cheap shit, retard.
Demand went up. Prices went up. Simple as.

>why not produce more
You don't (You) produce it then? Why don't you reasearch and buy all the infrastructure to build and sell more RAM?
