One has to hope OpenAI goes bankrupt and they flood the market with used RAM sticks at bargain bin price.

Don’t worry, they’ve cozied up for a nice fat bailout if that happens.

They bought unfinished components and have no ability to finish them. They're now waste just sitting on shelves and by the time we could do this and get them into production lines, they'll be obsoletd by DDR6.

		Yeah, that is my main worry - that whatever they ordered is actually unusable for normal people once they go bankrupt, so there is not only nothing to auction of to the creditors, but also nothing to alleviate the shortage in the short term.

As with all Ponzi schemes OpenAI will eventually go bankrupt, yet it continues to receive money from the unwary. I wonder how the research division at Disney feels about what their bosses have done...

But it should happen earlier due what is happening with the RAM, as it sounds quite illegal, like anticompetitive hoarding, cornering the market, raising rivals' costs, consumer welfare harm, and so on.
