This is why AI are so pure evil.

rest in peace Micron.

The problem with this decision is the fact that there are only 3 mayor players in the ram chip manufacturing industry, samsung, hynix and micron, if one of them leaves the market the prices will go up dramatically, if ram prices basically doubled in the last 2-3 months things will be even worse from now on, I'm glad I purchase my ram kit early this year, otherwise I would be totally screwed right now.

Is Micron decision to leave the consumer market good for them? absolutely not, 95% of generative AI pilots have yet to prove to be profitable, it's likely going to backfire for them once this bubble bursts, which is likely to happen next year.

This has even bigger knock on effects besides the consumer market, keep in mind almost everything uses RAM chips and all this ai stuff requires people to have tools to use ai, what this is doing is driving the buyers of their products out of the market, which can have major knock on effects for the world economy, possibly cause a depression or a full on market crash and collapse.

Basically, at best this is going to drive up costs and cost all these companies in the long run, at worst it could cause FAR more extensive anti-monopoly laws and governmental controls on businesses in the future, even potential nationalization of them, this is idiotic on the parts of the AI companies as they have effectively guaranteed a massive amount of regulation on themselves in the future as this will have massive effects on the economy, ram companies too.

If it causes a collapse, well i think their companies will cease to exist along with most of the world's tech companies, but that's the absolute worst case scenario and while possible, one i don't expect.

Gosh this is horrible , ram was cheaper earlier this year if only i complied a PC back then now i will have to see the prices for ram and other pc components in syria.....will be unnecessarily expensive that's for sure and now this.

Nicely said. On a personal level, I don't like to vilify technology. Machines aren't quite culpable of their actions.

But when I look at the horrible demographics who are pushing for AI...

The Terminator accurately predicted the future. A.I is unfortunately taking over. Soon, A.I will become sentient and destroy us all. We must rise up and put a stop to A.I for good!

Just as I had a good day and things were going to be bright for me somehow, this happens. I hate this world.

There goes my dream of building a gaming PC.

i don't care about this AI debate, but this one is what hurts the most

Yup I'm surprised this happened PC parts were cheap earlier this year i had the offer of buying a decent SSD for a good price any idea how much average ram costs now? 8 GB or 16 GBs..... Whether DDR3 or DDR4
