CaptainExplosion, you may want to sit down when reading this… AI is the reason behind the drop in RAM prices. (Hence why I was asking whether you viewed the news as a good or bad.)

That sure is one way to read the news that "RAM prices are going down because AI is becoming *less* power hungry"...

He's actually not incorrect as ironically an AI compression algorithm was created by Google that significantly reduces the amount of memory required for AI models to work, this caused a situation where these tech companies are now massively overstocked with more memory than they actually require, the result is a heavy drop in demand.
