This could go on for another 10 years.

This mess is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    Well… The ram manufacturers will have a great surprise when AI doesn’t continue growing exponentially and all their other customers have died.

    But at least we made the line go up this quarter I guess.

      I doubt RAM manufacturers will feel any pain. From the article,

      Pua Khein-Seng is further said to have highlighted that memory manufacturers are now “demanding three years’ worth of prepayment (unprecedented in the electronics industry)”

      If they’re really being prepaid three years in advance that’s a huge cushion. Of course this assumes that it’s really money and not just a contract for more money.

      LLMs haven’t been growing exponentially for the past 2 years. What we are seeing right now are the final stages of optimizing the product(by OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), and initial stages of consumers/companies figuring out actual effective areas of application.
