Memory prices are still much much cheaper per GB than 20 years ago.

The problem is the trend. Technology always became cheaper over time, but now it's going the other way around. And it's the second component that changes trends, with GPUs first and now also RAM.

That's true, but the article is still garbage. Comparing two different datasets in order to attempt to make this point and fumbling the whole thing badly.

Still, it's only a temporary trend. Either really AI takes off and RAM becomes chaper than in your wildest dreams... or there's another AI winter and RAM prices plummet during the glut (since economically speaking, it's near-certain that a glut will follow a supply crunch).
