if you're waiting to buy a computer, do it soon. prices are going to skyrocket (again) in 2027 and 2028. especially ram. i've linked to some of my sources in the post.

There is so much AI hype and so much anti-AI hype, that I doubt it really will.

For the last 4 years, we have perpetually been 90 days from both the AI market crashing and AI stealing all our jobs at the same time.

My thought is the AI market won’t crash because especially in data engineering and devops there is an inherent worth. I think there will be a potential downturn in the volume of cash flowing into perhaps after the big players like OpenAI and Anthropic go to IPO, but the market itself will remain stable. Similar to how the housing bubble crash didn’t actually wipe out the housing market (with or without the US govt saving the big players - it still would have survived on its own even if those players did not).

For multiple years it’s been “any minute now!”

It will at some point. The amount the need to charge to make a profit means most people won’t use it

From the infornation he has seen. Did you not read his post?

If enough people trusted him then it would become true, lmao

Supply and Demand

I got myself a whole new ARM mini pc for 600$ with soldered 64GB of ddr5 RAM. I think of it like a very beefy rpi5 and use it as my homelab server. They were not very popular and selling leftover stock for the same pre-bubble price.
