In an economy with top 10% responsible for >50% of all consumer purchases, the voice and labor of the 90% is not as important anymore. Look forward to a world increasingly inhospitable for the 90% as catering to them becomes a chore and their labor becomes devalued by automation and AI. There will be more B2B propping up the entire market, more alignment between government and big corps, more corporatism and symbolic gesturing. If you are lucky, you won't end up in a civil war or foreign war.

+1000.

Until governments start having stronger regulations on taxing corporations and the rich, for better redistribution of wealth. I don't see why it would get any better.

The whole reason why we're in this mess is because the memory cartels are bed with the AI mafia who themselves are in bed with the politicians and have bought entire government coalitions out.

Until this root cause is addressed, I don't see anything stopping this. It doesn't matter if everyone one of us stops buying memory for the next 2-3 years. We no longer matter, all profits are being generated by insider trading and ai data centre contracts for surveillance state systems and military industrial complex anyway.

"Hopefully, by 2028-2029, the ongoing DRAM crisis would have settled, and prices for memory that have skyrocketed over the past year would have normalized."

People don't realize that prices won't go down again any time soon.

If anything they'll continue going up.

Manufacturers, including Samsung and SK Hynix, are proceeding with early development of DDR6, even though JEDEC has not finalized the standard for it. The next-generation modules are still about two years away.
