So what happens when no one has a computer or device to use the AI they are develop?

Cloud solutions.

Which dovetails with "You will own nothing and be happy."

This. You get to choose between the Lenovo or Apple dumb-terminals, each of which has just enough power and memory to run a web browser but not much else.

These days you need 64 GB of RAM just to run a web browser.

Me: Closes mostly plaintext nana's pudding recipe webpage

Browser: "You just reclaimed 500 MB of memory!"

Just checked the task manager in Firefox. This page takes 87 MB of memory. The GMail tab takes 405.

My first PC had 64 megabytes of RAM and I could browse the internet just fine.

But for handheld as well? I have not looked around but is there a Cloud phone yet? Modern cars also need ram for the shitty sensor computers. This shit is going to go hell in a hand basket at Mach Fuck faster than the COVID pricing scam.

Micron's dropping out of the consumer RAM stick market. AFAIK, they're still selling the chips to customers. Auto mfg and the like should still have availability.

This is a assumption on my side, but I'm going to bet the auto and industrial stuff uses older nodes and older RAM designs. Probably doesn't compete with datacenter/PC demand.

Still need a device to even use cloud solutions.
