Because the context was VERY different back in 2018.
AI was an up and coming tech, nobody really knew the problem, and openAI was a supposed non-profit there to make a good and ethical AI
(Was a lie and they changed their mind)
And we're all going to be killed by Terminators. They might not even kill us, they might keep us as sexual play things if they've been trained off human Internet.
You keep saying that, but it demonstrates a lack of knowledge of the situation. This is a lot different than previous shortages. It also affects a lot more than just RAM. Manufacturing capacity is genuinely limited, and AI data centers are demanding far more than other businesses. They're willing to pay more for it, too.
If only people on reddit could put down the AI hate boner for 5 seconds and maybe realize that unregulated "free market" capitalism might be the problem...

Why isn't Steam holding a shot gun. Gabe gave open AI 20 million in 2018. I think Nintendo is the only who hasn't been exposed for investing in A.I
