i’m seeing some estimates stating ram prices are going to jump 400% by the end of june 2026. major price increases are inbound.
Nice try, RAM manufacturer.
No source? Some experts are saying an AI crash will happen sooner rather than later…
For multiple years it’s been “any minute now!”
Every real estate agent, every mortgage broker, could see the fraud in the housing market long by 2003, but either didn’t recognize it as fraud at the time, or didn’t care. They were all making money hand over fist to prop it up.
Zero down payment, 110% LTV mortgages, seller-paid closing costs, buyer is receiving a $3000 check at closing? ARM set to triple their rate in a year? Completely absurd, but the agent is only getting paid if the deal closes. The mortgage broker is only getting paid if the deal closes. The lender is only getting paid if the deal closes. The seller is only getting paid if the deal closes. Everyone needed this deal to close, so they did what it took to close the deal.
Lenders were offering “Continuing Education” credits that RE agents needed for their licenses. That “continuing education” consisted of seminars coaching agents to encourage these deals.
By 2003, buyers were underwater with their mortgages as soon as they signed them. Yet it took 5 more years for the bubble to actually burst.
The circular financing ponzi scheme behind AI will survive until someone can’t service debt. What happens then is either the collapse of the whole scheme, or the government declaring them “too big to fail” and allowing them to reorganize into a single corporate entity.
It will at some point. The amount the need to charge to make a profit means most people won’t use it
Well, when the bubble will -pop- explode, the whole economy is going down - yours too.
You might still want to buy… Sooner rather than later…
Source? Trust me bro?
From the infornation he has seen. Did you not read his post?
Oh sorry, must have missed that part.
If enough people trusted him then it would become true, lmao
Supply and Demand
Yeah, they probably bought 2 RAM sticks and think they can now manipulate markets with a Lemmy post and turn it into a great investment.
If they actually wanted to manipulate markets, they would use mainstream media.
By the end of June 2026? Old news.
I mean, I just bought two used systems for under $500 CAD combined, both capable of being used as servers, if I wanted to. I’m more worried about HDD prices, nevermind flash storage. I have no idea when I will be able to afford a 10+ TB HDD in the next couple years, at least.
I got myself a whole new ARM mini pc for 600$ with soldered 64GB of ddr5 RAM. I think of it like a very beefy rpi5 and use it as my homelab server. They were not very popular and selling leftover stock for the same pre-bubble price.
I’ll just keep stealing them from my local data center
