      they can choose not to hoard all semiconductors for themselves to play with ai and not crash the world economy. memory fabs can choose not to do that too.

      but they don’t, because capitalism says they can if they want to.

        Who is they? Where did capitalism make this announcement? Who was the representative of Capitalism that said that it is okay to crash the world economy?

        This sounds like conspiracy nonsense.

          what do you mean? we are literally talking about the semiconductor manufacturers and ai companies, and their bubble.

          what exactly is so conspiratorial about companies being allowed to cater to market forces and capital instead of people? this is literally how capitalism works according to you yourself two posts ago.

            That isn’t the conspiracy that I mean.

            When I wrote my comment, there were about 10 other comments, half of whom were saying things like ‘This is because they’re all getting together to jack up the price and hoarding stock’ complete conspiracy nonsense.

            So I was posting to show that: “No, the price increase is expected based on normal market forces. There is no evidence of a conspiracy.”
