Eventually RAM prices will come back down to reality and then it will be feasible to run open weights models locally that are on par with the frontier models of yesteryear. With abliteration you can get it to do whatever you want.

Not so sure about that. Ever since scalping concert tickets proved to turn a profit, they have only gone up in price, never down. The same could happen here.

More capacity being built if the demand is going to be sustainable. For example, India is building a semicon industry and could add to the global capacity. However it would take time I guess.

I would love to see Europe build its own semiconductor industry. We already have ASML and ARM, and they want to reduce dependency on the rest of the world, so why not do the actual production itself?

But I don't see anything moving yet.

		Qimonda was dropped for austerity reasons in 2009 or so, its IP got sold to the Chinese and was used to make CXMT into what it is today. You can't just start up the whole decades long process especially when you got free trade agreements with countries making the superior product.
