Honestly cheap ram that has a 50% chance to fail in a year sounds perfect for the llm industry, they already struggle to plan a year in advance, and all their hardware would be obsolete by then anyway, so why the hell not? Plus they could keep the bubble going a few more months by blaming their problems on hardware failures and claiming they’ll sue China or something

Yeah, not the same industry, but I’d never dream of putting valuable stuff on an unencrypted drive, shocked anyone has somehow missed all the stories of laptops getting stolen with secret documents on etc over the years.
