First, AI demand created the GPUPocalypse. Now it's created the RAMpocalypse.
Despite my opinion that it will have potential uses in certain areas once it can stop hallucinating and produce actually reliable results, I'm really beginning to passionately hate AI

I mean it could be better, but you are probably getting a lot out of what it can do. If this was a year ago I would insist on an upgrade cause 32 gigs of 3200 DDR 4 was cheap as hell, but RAMPocalypse has fucked even DDR4 Prices.

Since my next desktop PC (already have some of the components like the RAM, bought 32gigs of DDR5 before the RAMpocalypse 😅😅😅) is going to be Linux (probably Bazzite)
I'm thinking of doing a Linux share between all the Linux-y things here (MiSTer, RPi, SteamDeck, etc...)

I feel like the RAMpocalypse is AI companies shooting themselves in the foot long term. AI companies need end users and end users need devices to use their AI.
The more RAM price increase the more the end user is affected and the less AI companies make (which is an accomplishment)

I bought the RAM kit last month right at the start of the RAMpocalypse, and it was the cheapest ones me and my friend could find that wasn't trash, and I paid 900DKK for it back then, but now the kit is around 3000DKK which is nuts lol

If you're upset about the state of tech/gaming because the RAMpocalypse has prevented you from upgrading, I have a solution:
Play old games.
Play the games you bought during the summer sale 3 years ago & never played.
Play games you heard were good from 5+yrs ago.
YOU HAVE POWER IN THIS.

About 3/4 months ago I started a new PC build, or which my wife has very kindly bought me a number of components along the way for birthday and Xmas presents.
As it stands, I'm too poor to buy the DDR5 RAM and without it, can't even turn the bastard on.
RAMPocalypse has ruined my plans.

Epic CEO: "RAM price increases will be a real problem" — as OpenAI et al. blow up RAM prices, threatening affordability of everything from Xbox to TVs and laptops
The AI fad is destroying the affordability of RAM, as demand from OpenAI, Google, and others blow up prices. Why is this happening?

With the impending RAMpocalypse, I kinda hope I can squeeze another year or two out of my phone if smartphones start to noticeably get affected
My desktop should be fine and my laptop IS fine, but I've been eyeing phone upgrades for a while now without being able to justify it lol
