This is like if Tyson stopped selling consumer chicken. RAM is about to cost as much as a brand new pc. The cost of everything from tablets, to phones, to laptops will skyrocket. All because AI data centers are consuming all the available RAM they can get.

This also mirrors one of the suggestions in the 'project 2025' outline - to transform the US role in NATO to that of a 'nightwatcher' only responsible for nuclear deterrence, while the Europeans handle conventional deterrence.

Note again how little of the neoreactionary movement arises from the public, and how much of it is just politicians and media outlets pushing the politics of and actively collaborating with crackpot activists and crazed hate groups that arose within the elite tiers of their societies.

My final day at the Guardian was a quiet Friday in August. At 4pm the news editor called me as I was logging out.
"Alpacas," he said. "No one's around. Can you do a piece on the woman wanting justice for Geronimo."
He did this just to ruin my Guardian author page for eternity. Which I respect.
