Cloud can’t make money off of you and pay more than you for the hardware at the same time.
replyBatch inference is much more efficient. Using the hardware round the clock is much more efficient. Cloud can absolutely pay more for hardware and still make money off you.
replyCloud can pay more for RAM until all the RAM producers withdraw from the consumer market, then prices will go back down.
replyEnd users will still get access to RAM. The cloud terminal they purchase from Apple, Google, Samsung, or HP will have all the RAM it will ever need directly soldered onto it.
I was really fucking hoping we weren't at the part where "cloud terminals" doesn't seem farfetched and paranoid and yet here we are. Jesus Christ.
replyDoesn’t Apple place RAM directly into the SoC package? We aren’t even talking about soldering it to mother boards anymore, it is coming in with the CPU like it would as a GPU.
replyMore like RAM producers are providing supplies to the highest bidder, no? If this doesn't peter out supply will normalize at a higher but less insane price eventually.
