Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.
guy selling little boxes with “Cold fusion” written in Sharpie: we’ve finally done it!

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Let's also see if the U.S. population will be able to 'vote out' fascism. If this doesn't happen, should other countries assume that the entire country is therefore "pro-fascism?" And if this is the determination, why shouldn't they attempt regime change through bombing the heck out of the U.S.?
