   Tomshardware at the moment, they've had an article where   
   they "pretend" that the price of DDR5 is beginning to   
   "plateau" )in Germany), which is just so much wishful thinking.   
      
   The bubble has already burst, it's just taking   
   time for the memo to be sent out.   
      
   What will we do with all the cow pastures that have been   
   turned into half-finished data centers ? Bitcoin farm ?   
      
   It would only be a "revolution" if it showed AGI, which   
   is not in evidence. To be useful, the entire model has   
   to change (context space too small, the O() is wrong).   
   It's too expensive and inflexible at the moment.   
   If it's going to "steal jobs", it has to solve the   
   "slop cleanup specialist" problem first. It's a lot   
   like the "self driving car", it'll be "ready, any day now".   
      
   There aren't really any countries with "an excess of electricity",   
   and so no matter where you stick the datacenter, its   
   presence is always a problem. Some places have cheap   
   electricity sources, but those sources are finite and   
   easily smothered (causing the price to shoot up).
