They will. DOJ prosecuted memory makers in the late 90s and 2000s for collusion.
replyThis boom is magnitudes higher than before. The attention will be endless.
Current DOJ is corrupt as fuck, it will not happen. Get back to reality.
replyThey will respond when people are loud enough. If memory stays at $1200 for 128GB for years and investigative journalists say it could be colluding, enough people will make enough noise.
replyI’m sure Nvidia, Elon, Tim Cook, OpenAI, Anthropic are already whispering in Trump’s ears to do something.

replyYou can't expect me to believe that any of those would want any kind of antitrust action against anybody.
Sure they do. They all have money interests in this. They all want lower memory prices.
replyMemory prices and shortages directly impact all of their profit margins and revenue.
Once the masses are disenfranchised network state serfs according to plan, loudness won't matter
replyCorrupt doesn’t mean “acts without incentives”. If you assume a corrupt system, then the inputs are going to be who has influence over the DOJ. If there is more money to be made by breaking a cartel, then they would absolutely do it.
replyThat was a very different DOJ. They no longer work for us. They act as Trump's personal law firm.
