for me RAM is a perfected technology, new buses will come, more speed, but it will fundamentally be the same manufacturing process, same materials. The prospect is that LLMs will keep getting larger, more RAM will be required, and the prices will keep getting higher, or along the curve, while the demand will keep up with it because everything has RAM in it. Do you see a point in the future where the industry forks out of this, and there's an alternative where the end user is not affected as much from the demand of this resource?

ChatGPT will run out of money April 2027.

Also, more adaptation to Chinese-made RAM. The difference is negligible.

You realy think that big companies work in minus? Why would they? Youtube was working for years without a single add so did they run out of money..? Do you know how many sites and apps are free? So who is paying for them? Let me explain to you how software world works. You make chatgpt and you give it for free to people, than you collect all personal data people tell to chat gpt and you sell that data to powerfull people that control this world from shadows. So you make money and they get info they want and people are bunch of sheep that dont know anything as usual… And on top of that you make chat gpt premium so some people are paying to be spyed on and you get bonus money and noone is wandering from where you are getting money because there is chat gpt premium and noone know how many people have it and how much money you make of those rare individuals… Wala thank you for reading..

Goddamn what Kind of lobotomy did you get? Full service?

Aside from your apparent phobia to make your text readable via punctuations, here's the main points I found.

The deep state is not a thing. You don't need one if the US exists
User data is not worth the millions openai is shoveling towards datacenters. Even google and others live off of enterprise and subscriptions
Where are you even getting these numbers from? OpenAI publishes their quarterly earnings, and that has clearly shown that they are losing money and rely on investor bailouts
