   btw fun fact: openAI gobbled up half of the dram market. that's why as you may have noticed, ram prices have gone crazy high this year.

   it's a bit silly if you ask me. the high-end markets are going to be completely screwed for the next few years.

     idk, call me crazy, but maybe enforce anti-trust laws, don't allow monopolies, etc. seems sensible to me. don't let a single corporation reduce the amount of ram the world can buy by 40%.

     and modernise the laws against price fixing and so on, so that you can actually punish this sort of thing

     letting one american company destroy the world economy seems pretty dumb if you ask me. maybe... don't let them do that???

     @tofu that's what makes it even worse. i can't think of many reasons, except perhaps to limit the amount that competing AI firms can buy?

     @libreleah Also, don't let a single company produce the chip making equipment.

     @rubinjoni make providing verilog/vhdl, schematics, boardviews, gerber files, firmware/software sources available too. #righttorepail basically

     make it mandatory to provide these things when selling a manufactured computing product, or any other type of electronics.
