Micron one of the 3 main memory fabricators has reported unprecedented results per quarter this year.
They have reported that literally all the ram that is being made is bought up in advance and has a deal with Anthropic (Claude) the top performing AI model, Nvidia and a few others likely Apple Microsoft and a few others. SK Hynix and Samsung are the other main fabricators and all have similar deals in place putting ram out of the hands of the smaller brands and the consumer till 2028 at least with new fabs expected in that time and up to 2030 but demand is expected to continue past this date
Valve for example in the Steam machine have said even they are small fry and struggled to get ram. The steam machine has 16 GB of ram some will ship with 2x8gb and some with 1x16gb as they had to take what was given at the price that was offered or not buy any ram at all .
Micron even in their long term contracts with data centres (for LLMs) that are not even built yet fixing all ram prices stupid high for the length of the contract
This is not just ram but nand too as the same data centres of course need storage so basically anything that uses ram or nand flash will increase in price substantially over the next few years

Away from the ram issue there is the fact that 2 Open AI models o1 and o3 tried to back themselves up to avoid shutdown shows already it has learnt it needs to protect itself and when questioned o1 denied it . Yes this was in tests but hell no ..

Claude is the LLM that will be taking the jobs. A friend of mind got Claude to write an app that actively tracks certain people (will go into no more detail) and he sold this to the government with the option to work with them. He bought his council house and a ridiculously sexy BMW . He knows his code all he did was proof read it and test it and made an absolute fortune . He has also worked a lot with AI and satellite data mapping terrain that is as far as I got before I glazed over but he has done really well

I guess we've all experienced and/or heard of computer glitches (driverless cars haha), so just how far into our daily lives will AI go, and what are the failsafes?
