And you know its gonna be normal people like you and me paying for it and not the people responsible. The companies will close, people will lose their jobs, but the ceos and all will just move on to the next grift
Well, RAM probably wont immediately come down because the type pf RAM all of the fabricators have been making doesnt work for conventional computers.
Hard Drive prices on the other hand, particularly HDD prices, will plummet once the repo mem start clearing out the data centers and trying to recoup some of their foolish investment.
I bought a 20TB HDD in March of this year (7 months ago) for ~$300. That same drive today is being sold for $1,137 (if you’re lucky enough to find one).
That is not a viable price point if the manufacturers are at all interested in selling more hard drives in the future.
Especially once the HDD supply skyrockets as the mega datacenters are inevitably stripped for their components.
Edit to add: hopefully all of the workstations that need to be cleaned out of all of the Slop manufacturing planta have some decent RAM in them, i would like an upgrade.
If the AI bubble burst as some say it might, it will probably have global implications.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll pivot back to selling receipts for monkey jpegs.
Its beyond the point of “might”
What goes up must come down
Except hard drive and RAM prices…
