If there was a real shortage they'd limit it to like 1 per customer or something.
You'd see scalpers offering RAM sticks on eBay.

They just jacked up the price because of the potential demand from AI (which is still a worthless investment, no one's seen a penny from AI).
They will refuse to lower the price for a long time too, because what are customers going to do? Go to Walmart and get cheap RAM? Until they have warehouses sitting at capacity wasting space, RAM will be $400+ for a while.

Do you really not understand? None of these manufacturers are competing in a space even remotely free of massive government interference. The Huawei example proves that point nicely because they were financed by enormous government subsidy, but the same is true of most large tech companies. Infrastructure, patent laws, major government investments. None of this is free competition it’s all kike puppet corps in bed with state actors on one side or the other. Lemonade stand models don’t work in this environment, this is not anything close to a free market and it never CAN be unless the entire economic system changes.

Net is just shy of $3.8bn. Earnings per share is like 1.08. Again, is it a money printer? No. Has that EPS number been fucking cratering yoy consistently? Sure. It still makes more money than it earns though. It’s important to point out the enormous gulf between a business that isn’t beating the market average or a business that has a rough couple years of negative growth with a business that has literally never made money and in fact loses it to the tune of tens of billions every single year that it has existed.

Yes, obviously they should have realized this was a dumb idea and just not done it. They're not a hardware manufacturer, the Steam Machine is just a PC, there was no reason for them to make a mini PC. People that want a PC will buy a PC, people that want a console will buy a console. The idea that there's this entire market of people who want PC games in a console format is just dumb. It was dumb in 2015 when they tried this the first time and it completely failed, it's still dumb now. The Steam Deck was different, no one was making handheld PCs in a Switch formfactor until the Steam Deck proved it could be done. They should have stopped there. They make their money selling games on Steam, not by selling hardware.

The funny thing, is our missile systems and military development laid the basis for all modern processors.

We had the funding and know how to engineer the precise controls and environments. We had the industries, and trade-secret plastics and processes make highly specialized parts. Which we would then still ship overseas, so our outsourcing could produce reliable batches.

We had all that. We still have the trade secrets/products that get delivered in person over there, if foreign companies have a fuck up with supply line.
But certain individuals and traitors in our government, Pentagon, etc. sold the bulk of it off. All for a few dollars more. All so business owners here didn't have to pay a fellow citizen, their employee a fair wage for making things could shape the world, and destroy it tenfold.

Yeah that’s basically true. However there are degrees of closeness to that idea, and it’s important to recognize how state interference affects the market one way or the other
>You have regulations, anti trust laws, anti corruption laws, Tax laws, etc.
None of those are “here’s $80bn for free” though. That’s the point. You’re playing on a continuum fallacy here, suggesting that because nobody escapes payroll taxes, that means having your entire business deficit financed by government subsidy is basically the same thing
>You're free within a legal framework, which is what people mean, when they use (colloquially) the phrase "free market" or "capitalism".
No, the opposite is true. When people use the phrase “free market” they typically are referring to some platonic ideal of open exchange that ISN’T governed by a framework that shapes supply and demand to suit political interests. Also “capitalism” is just a term for a socioeconomic system where the means of production are controlled by an idle rentier class, it doesn’t really have shit to do with free markets. You could have a free market of worker-owned cooperatives and that would be socialism but it’d still be a free market (again, hypothetically)

I think this disk space fear is a bit overblown.
>>
>>741769160
I wasn't the anon you originally answered to, but I think it's fair to say that "free marker" has always been a term understood to mean free under certain conditions.
In terms of geopolitics you can simply extent the leverage concept of a (commonly understood concept of) free market (as in fair competition within a market) and apply State actors to it, as if they were competing companies.
China dumping money into chip manufacturing is a strategic decision like deciding to fund more healthcare or IT education.
The US is free to do the same, or continue to suck Israel's cock and spend another trillion to bomb the desert.
Point is, when you come hat-in-hand begging for more chips, what leverage (regardless if you're a company or a State) do you bring to the table? The idea of companies acting freely in a boundless global market is just a fantasy, but the concept of investment, competition and leverage apply just as well, just on a larger scale involving governments.

Yes but the reason it matters is that a “truly” private enterprise is, ostensibly, just trying to make money, whereas a government is not broadly motivated just by profit. When talking about investments into stuff like this, it’s important to consider that if, for example, the chinese government is dumping billions into local manufacture, their main motive for doing so is not primarily “this will be a profitable venture” but some other form of geopolitical leverage. When we talk about the money these tech companies are making, therefore, it’s disingenuous to point to that money and pretend it makes some statement about demand or supply or other market forces; it doesn’t. It’s a political maneuver. Like you wouldn’t point and Lockheed Martin and go
>jeez, people must really love F18 fighter jets, these guys are making money hand over fist!
Their profitability comes from their ability to serve a political demand that is entirely divorced from ordinary consumer sentiment. The same is true of companies like Huawei, which exist inside a similar complex. They are functionally state actors and serving political purpose, the quality of their products or ostensible consumer demand for them has jack shit to do with their success “on the market” because they aren’t ON the market, not really, they’re tied by a money umbilicus to a government that is propping up their success for political reasons

Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft will never have this issue btw, they will face higher prices sure but not as high as Valve's

Valve can't secure RAM the way the big three does because they have no fucking idea whether the steam box is gonna be a hit or a complete flop

The big three sign massive contracts because they know they will hit at least 30 million

So like any business that sells in bulk, the more you buy the less it costs per unit

Valve with their mediocre steam deck numbers (which hover around the 4-5 million mark) simply don't have the leverage needed to negotiate

Nobody with a brain would have said "1000 USD minimum" when it was announced unless they were an openAI insider and knew about the price shock they were about to unleash with their (non binding btw) MOU.

Nobody wants to tell you this but the "industry" fucking hates working with Valve, so this isnt surprising at all
They are a bunch of pretentious assholes who think they're above everyone else after all, so suppliers just cuck them to bring them back to reality

Do you even know why AI tokens cost so much? Thats because the LLM has to iterate through entire dataset, even if 99,99% of it is useless garbage (just so people "can ask it anything"). Simply by building customized datasets the running costs go down massively. A medical company that tries to use AI to research/vibe new medicine or get a diagnosis from X-ray simply doesnt need roman history, US presidential achievements or knowledge about Mesopotamian wars in its dataset.

AI companies are doing exactly what venture capital has always done: go big with unsustainable model to become major player in the market, then start turning it into cash cow. In just a couple of years expensive generalist AI wormed its way into pretty much every facet of working. The moment they pivot to offering customized training sets they'll be making ACTUAL profit hand over fist, but that wont happen until there's only couple major players left who've bought out the competition to maximize their market share and thus profits. Classic capitalism playbook from like 50 years ago you uneducated nigga.

He's probably right, Valve does a lot of shit that is bad for the games industry. For instance they don't allow crypto games (you have to disable crypto), they require you to disclose AI usage and they also don't allow putting actual ads ingame.

>>741777493
And for the record I'm not saying AI is good. It mostly isnt, but it LOOKS competent to those higher up who make the decisions and dont have to clean up the mess. It'll worm its way into nearly every job because the promise of automating away 100k/year meatbags who work measly 33% of the time and require weekends, vacations, get sick, may resign suddenly and whatever is just too sweet.

A LLM trained only on medical texts would be retarded. The size of the training data directly scales how good the LLM is at understanding what it's asked and forming an appropriate reply, even if the most of the information in the training set is not directly useful for the current query.
Not that a purpose built AI for medical research and diagnosis would be a LLM in the first place.

The ram shit is crazy, but acting like Valve's 100k-500k order of ram should have resulted in a better response from ram makers is funny. Again, it is the usual pr statement by valve to use as cope. The same thing when people laughed at the 8 vram and valve claimed that it was better than 70% of steam survey hardware or them now claiming that it "basically" is being sold at cost.

Valve didn't win against THE Rothschilds.
Leigh Rothschild, the Jewish patent troll they beat in court, is from a different Rothschild family that isn't related to the European banking dynasty.
Similar to how Samuel L Jackson and Michael Jackson are both black men with the same last name but aren't related at all.
Being sued by the actual Rothschilds from Europe (Leigh is American) would be a much, much bigger deal.

>well duh ram is in high demand

Proofs?

AI companies buying up ECC RAM for Servers is in high demand. But that has a limit and cap if you buy in bulk like that faggot Altman does, you buy on contract obligations of on mass orders, once, not continuously over years.

70% of the Datacenters promised to built are all on full halt, not even close to being finished.

Consumer RAM? No way fucking way. Never was. Never will be in high demand.

Those who do DIY are such a low marging compared to the faggots who buy pre-builds with 16-64GB of RAM. Those who buy workstation with 128GB or more are even lower amount.

It's scam if anyting. Corponiggers are colluding together. They're literally pretending to have scarcity so they can pump up the fucking price up 1000%.

That's literally what AI peddlers do. Push higher and higher parameter counts hoping they will stumble into AGI
But no, what I'm saying is that if you train a 100b model on 1TB of medical data, you will get worse medical outputs than if you train a 1T model on 9TB of random data and 1TB of medical data. The sheer size matters more than the specific content

If you retards legitimately believe that the "ram shortage" isn't contrived then unironically you do not deserve to use computers.
The memory industry is notoriously corrupt and there is a huge market for anti-AI sentiment. Can't tell how many of you are shills vs actual retards, but both of you deserve to be forcibly put into labor camps.
