The AI corporations owe us money. I fail to see why we all have to pay more due to these greedy companies - they should pay us compensation money for driving up the prices here. In particular the US government is helping drive these prices up as well - not just due to AI situation, but also due to destroying part of the energy supply lines via its bombing of Iran as well as stock market manipulation. A mafia is pillaging all of us here.

Are heavily ironic posts still considered non-kosher for HN? It does seem times are changing.

They're a good way of verifying that they're not AI-slop, or not pro-AI slop, which I view as the same think, so I think that they should be embraced.

Didn't OpenAI cancel a bunch of memory orders? Seems premature to announce this as there soon will be a glut of memory in the market.

Source?

I've seen this going around on social media but not on reputable news sites.

Coincidentally, the SK Hynix US IPO has been announced: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/sk-hynix-files-co...

The word you seek is 'sarcastic'. The ever so slightly neuro-divergent don't do sarcarsm. Nor do linkedinlunatics.

Please don't buy into that stereotype. People with aspergers are capable of getting sarcasm. Especially if it's over the top like this.

Who needs terabyte hard drives when all your photos can stored as plaintext prompts instead. Finally, the perfect storage format!

There is actually some work on doing this; after all, an imagegen model is simply a very large number of images that have been compressed together. Given a stable model and a means of inferring a prompt for an image, you can then generate a base image and store compressed deltas on top of it.

(of course the limit case of this is Samsung moon replacement)

I think that is misinformation caused by circular logic. DDR prices stopped risking, simply because supply reached equilibrium vs demand and willingness of customers to overpay. The Micron stock price also had minor correction. Suddenly internet is full of articles how it is all caused by TurboQuant release or OpenAI giving up on its huge wafer orders.

Looks very similar like attempts to explain random crypto price changes with any (un)related news.
