#Micron's decision to un-diversify their #RAM sales, and exclusively pursue sales the current #AI growth instead of the home, #gaming, and commercial #PC market is a dangerous move. I predict that when the #AIbubble pops, they will find themselves in a bad position to compete with #Hynix and #Ssmsung, which are still marketing their chips to non-AI end users, and not putting massive investments to keep up with the current demand.
It's also (obviously) very bad for the average person, regardless of what they use #computers for, that this is happening.
Will the short term profits outweigh the sudden loss of sales once the #bubble pops? No idea. But this kind of wild speculation-driven chaos in the #markets is exactly the reason support for #capitalism is at an all time low, as #afforfability worsens throughout the developed world due to #hyperfinancialization of basic goods.
