There are a lot of "who gives them the money" posts here - and on a basic level they're right.

But there's also the part where these companies were spearheading climate research initially - and instead of trying to pivot into renewable energy they doubled down on oil, muddied the waters in discussions by first denying global warming and then when that didn't work out anymore, emphasizing scientific uncertainty, lobbied against environmental regulations, and shifted blame to the individual.

AI generated is just a stand in for hollow & over-dramatized here. Probably I could enjoy AI generated content if it wasn't shit. The claims on the site reminiscent of 14y/o skids trying to scare each other: "uhhh I got your IP I will hack you now!1!1", except now you have access to some chatbot subscription to make it sound like it's a big deal.

I think RAM manufacturers over increased production capacity in 2020 and got hurt by that - so maybe the industry will not adjust as flexibly this time for fear of these investments not paying off

The origins of today’s cycle, says Coughlin, go all the way back to the chip supply panic surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. To avoid supply-chain stumbles and support the rapid shift to remote work, hyperscalers—data-center giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—bought up huge inventories of memory and storage, thus boosting prices, he notes.

But then supply became more regular and data-center expansion fell off in 2022, causing memory and storage prices to plummet. This recession continued into 2023, and even resulted in big memory and storage companies such as Samsung cutting production by 50 percent to try to keep prices from going below the costs of manufacturing, says Coughlin. It was a rare and fairly desperate move, because companies typically have to run plants at full capacity just to earn back their value.

After a recovery began in late 2023, “all the memory and storage companies were very wary of increasing their production capacity again,” says Coughlin. “Thus there was little or no investment in new production capacity in 2024 and through most of 2025.”

If you would like to take a picture with or of another NYCC Fan, always ask first and respect that person's right to say no.

Just wanted to chime in and thank you for taking the time replying to these selectively blind & deflecting individuals and trying to get them off their wild wild ride. I don't have the energy to argue with them myself, but it's truly maddening how they're ignoring what's right in front of them - ignoring what a PoS this influencer is, is playing right into right-wing people's hands.
