    No no no. See, this is why AI is so fucked up. It doesn’t matter if it’s human or driverless. Cars aren’t supposed to RAM anything!!!

    Obviously a company that makes RAM will say RAM is important, what else would we expect?

    I’d love to know what Waymo vehicles have though.

    Of course they do. They are extremely impartial on the matter and I trust their judgment.

    Ah, yes, the ol’ “X needs 300 of whatever it is I sell” gambit.

    Nah, it just needs a team of Indian guys to step in whenever the collision alarms go off.

    If I were the boss of a RAM company, would I say then that the world needs more rubber tires, or would I say the world needs more RAM?

      More like, you know that thing we used to sell and now we don’t because we bet everything on ai datacenters? Well now we bet on robots because we raised the price so high nobody will afford to buy that thing we used to sell and we can’t go back to that price because the line must go up!

    I’m reading that headline as: Major electronics company explains why self driving cars and home robots will be unaffordable.

      RAM used to be ~$4/GB. So 300*4=$1200. A price increase of $1200 is actually pretty darn affordable to get self driving, surely?

      Sure, there are other components than RAM needed. But the RAM alone is not what would make it unaffordable.

      Only because of current RAM prices and artificial scarcity keeping those prices high.

      300GB of RAM shouldn’t be that expensive. I have 1/3 of that in my server (bought years ago). If it wasn’t for the AI bullshit, 300GB would be fairly reasonable to buy in a couple of years time.

    They think that makes them sound smart and important.

    It actually makes them sound incompetent.
