    This hopefully helps mitigate the risk of putting more production capacity in place, which the Big 3 were not willing to do so far.

    All those devs who were saying "ram is cheap" BTFO.

      Bad times for the two-space copying garbage collectors.

      That's tech... Moore Law was steadily going until raw CPU got stuck for a few years, switching from single core to multicore then heterogeneous cpus, all those requiring to rewrite software in a scalable manner and then consider newer schedulers switching between performance/efficiency cores and changing CPU freqs.

      Also, you have Meta and Google investing in simplified performant versions of their stack for developing countries which is similar.

      What's funny though, I see people that sometimes says it's cheaper to build the app they need in a single prompt than to search for it.

    Isn't scalping illegal in some countries?

      Buying and selling at market price is rarely illegal. I think in the USSR it might be?

      Isn't scalping a term used for tickets? Also, these companies supposedly intend to actually use the RAM they ordered, not reselling at some inflated price.

      It's all fair game IMHO, except the elephant in the room which is that the AI company bubble might pop.

        I don't see the AI bubble popping any time soon (as in, not in terms of physical datacenter buildout - stock prices could fall). Even if progress hits a brick wall, we still have multiple years of just expanding out the models we have to more people in more industries.
