    So what will it do to memory prices if the AI bubble pops right now?

      Three ideas, one, memory chip makers pivot back to their usual lanes (maybe we get a glut and prices drop). Two, memory chip makers sink and bought by new memory chip makers (maybe more competition). Three, memory chip makers implode and machines are lost (production loss and prices shoot up). Any of these options will probably result in prices remaining the same sadly.

      Prices stay elevated but stop increasing, because, as we’ve learned from the “supply chain issues” of covid, prices must never come down even if the supposed cause of price increases is resolved.
