Recently upgraded my servers. 256GB ddr5 each. Was 1600 moneyz altogether. Now, not half a year later, the exact same ram is 6400 now.
I bought twice the amount by accident and sent half of it back..for which I now bit my left nut off..could've been a free bunch of gaming PCs.
Oof, you lucky dog. Except the last part, but that's just the difference between being just lucky and being really fucking lucky.
Oh yeah lucky! I evened out fate, as I waited to finally buy my GPU at the absolute peak for an insanely outrageous price only to see it fall day by day since then.
So, I'm kinda at zero (dis-)advantage now 😁
My friend bought what he thought was 16GB ddr5 for $50, but turned out to be 10 sets for $500. Now they're selling for about $250 each. Everything is insane!
Once you’ve been searching on the internet for a fact, you’ll never stop wanting to beat every AI tech bro to death with your bare hands.
That's the least significant reason for beating Sam Altman to death.
whaaat? did he really say this or is this ai?
ai is so realistic now.
I saw 32GB of DDR4 RAM at best buy the other day for around 400 bucks. Which wasn't adding up for me at all but ok
Why not Zuccerberg?
Why not both?
Why stop at both of them?
There's a quite sizeable list at the moment
We can tag team each other.
Elon Musk wanted to do this, but his mom said he couldn’t.
It's Saltman who bought 40% of world's supply of RAM until 2029.
He is also a Zionist Jew.
I bought a new laptop with 16 GB of DDR5 (8 GB soldered and 8 GB socketed) as it was super cheap for an 8840HS, and was planning to buy a 48 GB SODIMM for 120€ but held off on it for multiple reasons, thinking "it can wait and I can make do with less memory for now"
Yeah that 48 GB stick now costs 500€ which is just 50€ short of the entire laptop...
This too shall pass - we can hope that now there is both a massive revenue opportunity in the server market as well as an abandoned consumer market ripe for the taking, some enterprising manufacturer is going to look into filling this niche. Probably someone out of China, or maybe even India if they can get their shit together in time.
I mean I would still wanna do that even if it reduced costs to like $300 for a fully spec'd dream system.
Even if it cost me $300 per hit, if stop turn him into a vegetable. That'd be the best money ever spent.
I appreciate the juxtaposition between your username and this comment wanting to beat one of the universe's most useless life forms.

Why hurting your own hands if you can use tools to make beating more efficient?
Henry Kissinger deserves that personal touch.
I'd rather cut Sam Altman's hands off and use them to beat him to death while screaming "stop hitting yourself, Sam! Stop hitting yourself!"
wait until the bubble crashes and we have tons of ram in the pipeline with no dedicated buyers
Hope you can use ECC in your boards, otherwise it'll be worthless
Homelabbers of the world rejoice
But why not give in? Bottling up negative energy is not good for you.
Do it!
What was the original quote?
Came to ask the same thing.
Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.
Damn, that's also true.
Fortunately Kissinger is dead!
Unfortunately, Altman is still alive.
Fortunately Kissinger is dead!
Someone really should go check on Kissinger to make sure he's dead. Kissinger gave me massive lich vibes.
Don't worry, I found the phylactery.
Aaaaaa
Normally, I think killing a CEO will cause no good because they're so replaceable, but I could make an exception and celebrate Sam's death.
At least until I have to look at 500 Tankie posts trying to convince western teens and facebook uncles to worship the killer.
Disagree because they would behave differently if there was consequences
I don’t think it’s tankies doing that.
It's not only Tankies but I'd wager it's a majority Tankies. Anything to promote western violence and the loss of engagement in the political process.
Sam Altman has nothing to do with the current RAM shortage. Moreover, this is not the first RAM shortage. It also occurred during the earlier crypto-mining boom, and at that time no one was having public meltdowns trying to hunt down the inventor of Bitcoin.
The reason there is a RAM shortage is straightforward, the manufacturers that control the majority of production have chosen to sell primarily to a single industry because that is where the highest margins currently exist. From a financial standpoint, they have little incentive to sell to anyone else.
If you are looking for accountability, direct it at the large corporations that are deliberately allocating supply to maximize profit. They are the ones shaping the shortage, not individual tech executives.
Now, who could be in charge of the company most well known for needing absurd amounts of RAM to make their product work?
Who goes around making hundred billion dollar deals to ensure their business has access to massive datacenters filled with GPUs that need 2000GB of RAM?
Whose company recently wanted to buy 40% of all RAM on the market, and got a letter of intent from major RAM producers who were willing to supply it, assuming they got paid?
Oh, right! SAM FUCKING ALTMAN! You're right that RAM producers are currently profit-maximizing openly and nakedly, but to call him blameless would be naive and just wrong. They wouldn't be doing so, at least not to this degree, had ChatGPT and LLMs not become the hottest new ~~scam bubble~~ tech industry through his actions.
Sam Altman put in an order for RAM. A company is willing to supply it. That company is souly responsible for how they distribute their product. They could only supply them with a small portion of the order and be fair about it but they choose not too. 🤷
Yes Altman is not blameless but he's also not responsible.
There's also a hard drive shortage :-/
