    Did prices normalize and I missed my chance? It seems GPUs, RAM and SSDs haven’t left the stratosphere in a year. The boeing space ship didn’t stay up that long, and it was a boeing and thus not flight-worthy for most of its service period.

        GPUs and RAM are global commodities, like oil. China might bring prices down a bit in the short term by adding supply, but ultimately all will be bought up by the highest bidders, who currently seem to have insatiable demand, unlimited funding, and are hell-bent on wrecking the consumer market.

          Eventually the money will run out. The spending is insane with very low demonstrable payoff.

          I get that companies like Anthropic and SpaceX are claiming >25% of worldwide GDP as their TAM, but those numbers make zero sense. Zero.

          Trump will sanction them and hopefully Europe will grow some balls and things might improve that waym

      Briefly for GPUs, yes. I picked up a 5080 at the end of last year for msrp.
