@starsider@valenciapa.ws the thing I also really like about that article Is it points out the systemic reasons why the shortage is as bad as it is -- such as the various political fuckery the US is doing right now The fact that the "buffer" mechanisms that normally prevent this from happening are ineffective due to circumstance, I consider the real story here Sam Altman gonna Sam Altman. It's his job to make headlines and fool investors It's the whole system's state why the rest of us pay so dearly

@starsider@valenciapa.ws "Ultra Processed Intelligence (UPI) is bad for your health and wallet" - a potato chip AI is a sales tool first, ideology check second and environmental disaster third. Yet, Citizen's United will grant it personhood over people of color

@starsider@valenciapa.ws I’m gonna be honest I’d need another source than MLiD to believe this. It’s practically the daily mail for chip enthusiasts.

@starsider@valenciapa.ws The fact that just one person had enough power to do that should embarrass us as a society; how the fuck did we even get here?

@starsider@valenciapa.ws Not just OpenAI. > The market had almost zero safety stock left due to tariffs... [and other factors] It's not even the presence of tariffs that caused this, it's the constant wavering. Everyone figured they'd just wait for the next relaxation in them to grab them. Almost makes me wonder if there's more to this story - if openai, with their government connections, influenced the tariffs specifically to achieve this result...

@starsider@valenciapa.ws I've seen this repeated many times already but the truth is that OpenAI did not sign deals - as in binding contracts - but letters of intents to buy RAM. Not the same thing. And it should be obvious why: from the little we know about their financials OpenAI simply does not have the money to buy that much RAM. This whole madness is not based on actual demand, but on the appearance of it. Everything about AI is about appearances, not substance.

@starsider@valenciapa.ws And added cherry to the fkery that is OpenAi They're trying to get a bailout because they're unprofitable Whilst they're using their capital to actively market manipulate to the point of creating shortages

@starsider@valenciapa.ws I wonder... how do they have money for all those chips? Last time I checked they were losing money even on their highest paying customers.

@starsider@valenciapa.ws Fascist movements are escalating & getting into supply chain attacks.

@starsider@valenciapa.ws the fallout from the AI bubble is gonna last for a very long time, and nobody responsible for this (cough Sam cough) is going to be punished for it.

@starsider@valenciapa.ws Isn't this sort of market manipulation illegal? Or is it just like the Hunt brothers attempting to corner the silver market in 1980? Billionaires are just no good. Over, and over, and over, and... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Thursday

@starsider@valenciapa.ws Given so many other things in life need memory (Cars, Planes, TVs, Washing Machines, etc) if they all suffer huge price increases that slow or stop people's purchasing choices, this could trigger a global recession.

@kkarhan@infosec.space 2025-12-07 20:46
@starsider@valenciapa.ws yes, and they should not be allowed to buy up that capacity to begin with, let alone should there be a tripol known to collude in terms of pricing!

@starsider@valenciapa.ws first crypto and now this. It will eventually pass, but suddenly Apple pricing is not that ridiculous,
