Everytime I buy a large capacity memory card - That sucker will take 3 pictures and be corrupted.

Also, there was a recent academic paper - “turboquant” (?) that found a way for LLM inference to run at 1/10th the ram of current systems. apparently causes zero slowdown too.

Are you buying from reputable retailer? A lot of the memory cards are relabled low capacity cards from China and sold by boomer dropshippers

The old ones would just wrap around and the filesystem would get corrupted quick.

New ones have controllers that know FAT and NTFS and save the filesystem so just the data gets corrupt.

When you buy one fill it up to at least half capacity and do a checksum on files to make sure it actually has the data. Then you can return it right away and they won't get your money.

But what does that really mean?

Will they share the tech with their competitors? Will it mean less demand or the same demand? In essence it could entail that they can scale even faster - build even more data centers, costing less (but the same resources).

Its published and open sourced already (I think)

Nebulous data centers (that have not been built let alone spec'd out) is just an excuse to hike prices.

Just like tariffs were an excuse to jack up prices beyond the actual cost of the tariffs, when US sourced materials would be a way around it.
