I know the main cause is AI but why now, why was there not this demand at the same time as when GPU prices started to sky rocket?

Also I dont see why AI needs RAM like VRAM I get it but why RAM?

    I have (idle) hopes that most of the losses will fall on the people that created this mess. I know that’s not what happened in 2008 but one can hope. I’m not into stocks myself so I hope I would be safe when it happens but you never know, I was too young in 2008 to see/feel the full effects of it happening. Maybe I’d be screwed too. But I’d honestly take a few years of things being shitty over the nonsense what’s happening now. I got through covid, I’m sure this would be manageable too, especially since I live in Europe.

      Based on the way this is all going, there will be a sudden dip, then Trump will tweet some horse shit about AI popping, then it will be a vertical line down. Those who support him, which is every billionaire right now just about, will be in the know or find out at point that Trump fucked them.
