So you think they should have made laws to stop AI companies from buying hardware? Based on what? Why?

You can’t blame an administration for companies buying things from other companies in bulk lol. You do not want a government making ad-hoc laws to stop things like that, that is an absolutely insane thing to even suggest.

It has nothing to do with trump. How about you try and look at things not just through a “how can I blame this on trump?” lense?

    A few AI companies made deals for future fabrication from a literal oligopoly of RAM makers.

    Consumers are getting locked out, are you even paying attention?

    Buying years worth of future fabrication for shit that other industries and consumers need is anti competitive as fuck.

    Bro open a fucking book for 5 minutes or something holy shit you're dense.

    I think he's saying, in this particular instance is that Trump's fault? It's B2B, and probably would have happened regardless of who's POTUS (see GPU shortages under Biden's term).

    Don't get me wrong, Trump is totally interventionist as long as it personally benefits his family. But this far he's not made any plays wrt to supply/demand of hardware. From whats been officially released, the only interventionism he's done wrt AI companies is get then them to have backdoors and be used for military applications.

    Anti competitive? What? Lol. How?

    RAM makers are free to sell their entire allocation to a single buyer if they want. You’re telling me that you want the government to make laws to prevent that? What would that law look like?

    Do you even realise what you’re saying? You want the government to come in and tell companies who to sell their product to and how much they get. That is absolutely fucking laughable. That’s not what a government is for lol
