    It wasn’t 10 years ago we had so much surplus ram it was practically free. Dafuq, AI slop generators ruining the planet.

      It’s scarcity through unpredicted demand and lack of rapid scalability in the face of a popping AI bubble. Nothing greedy about having extra customers.

      This is a usual behavior for cheap products that one must buy to get something to run at all.
