If they ramp up production and the bottom falls out of AI, they could be left with large product reserves, and people may still be reluctant to buy. One way to increase demand is to lower prices. Now, if they are the only company in this position, things may not change much. But if more than one are, the other can supply the market at a price that’s acceptable to them and the consumers.
Or those companies can collude and just completely fuck over customers. But that would never happen, right?
I know the chips being made by Nvidia for AI use aren’t compatible with consumer hardware. So I’m assuming that whatever Micron makes for AI will be the same, unfortunately.
