WTF is up with the RAM? (With Will Smith of The Tech Pod)

RAM prices have gone crazy, mainly thanks to AI. In this episode, Devindra talks with Will Smith (Brad and Will Made a Tech Pod) about the state of the RAM industry, as well as other hardware expected to become more expensive. (SSD prices are also increasing!). We also discuss Meta’s poaching by Alan Dye, one of Apple’s design leads, and what that could mean for Meta’s upcoming devices. And yes, whatever they have next will probably revolve around AI.
