Comment Re:Thank Tariffs Trump! (Score 2) 76

I too bought memory in April to avoid tariffs. I had to run a stupid python program to generate a dataset that required 96GB of RAM for a delayed project so I figured I might as well bite the bullet. DDR4 was still a good value at that point (it's a problem that can run overnight, performance wasn't too important).

But how are the tariffs limiting the manufacturing supply capacity of RAM factories in East Asia?

Do you have a mechanism to propose?

Do you think they're making enough to meet demand but then blaming tariffs to justify jacking up prices? All of them? It would be an interesting conspiracy but is there any evidence to support that theory?

What mechanism are you thinking of where tariffs could limit supply of VRAM from East Asia?

Simple price increases, sure, definitely, but this is described by manufacturers as a supply & demand problem.

Do you have a different angle we should consider?

Why not save time and fruitless clicks by simply omitting the paywalled source?

You've got to give super-props to the way the music industry has been pumping-out bland vapidness for over twenty years. It's almost as if they had foreknowledge of the arrival of AI and that this strategy would enable them to seamlessly segue to AI-generated content.
Super *jumps in air* props!

I think he was probably correct when he asserted "AI will be a part of the way all games are made".

IIRC, he was using that idea (which is speculation) as a starting-point from-which to develop the more general idea 'it does not make sense' - logic fail FTW.

I'm more concerned with the bizarre attempt to cover-up the use of AI than I am with the use of AI. What do they know which we might want to?
