Didn't OpenAI cancel a bunch of memory orders? Seems premature to announce this as there soon will be a glut of memory in the market.

I feel like all these hardware shortages will supercharge 2nd hand electronics and their refurbishing from repair specialists.

The AI corporations owe us money. I fail to see why we all have to pay more due to these greedy companies - they should pay us compensation money for driving up the prices here. In particular the US government is helping drive these prices up as well - not just due to AI situation, but also due to destroying part of the energy supply lines via its bombing of Iran as well as stock market manipulation. A mafia is pillaging all of us here.

This is a good thing. Going out and taking pictures etc is very wasteful. You can just get AI to create all your memories and stay at home.<p>&quot;Do you remember Corfu &#x27;36, darling?&quot;<p>&quot;One sec, let me generate my memory of it.&quot;
