> It is my impression that there is a fabricated scarcity of all goods

100% agreed. I decided to look more into why OpenAI needed all of this compute if they already have azure,google,coreweave and oracle and they already scale up to 2.5 billion prompt per day

So I decided to look more into the stargate project after your comment and its been 4 hours and my god, there is a lot to uncover. Someone should definitely create a follow up but basically I think that all openAI deals are literally built on hype. They do these cyclic financial innovations aka. how is it not illegal kind of things where the things are funded basically by public money getting into these stock prices (having a real disalignment between stocks and company basics)

They all have commited hundreds of billions of $$'s but they got none, and the financial provider of Stargate project is Softbank and its racing to find mere 22.5B$ so the promise of 500B$ isn't there but they definitely used this money.

Btw Softbank itself took a loan from a japanese bank of BILLIONS of Dollars I think to fund this whole thing as that was the only tangible proof that someone got money for the project and that makes sense as OpenAI rather doesn't make money.

Now they are using that japanese low debt 10's of billions of dollars worth of money to then funnel into buying almost the same amount of dram.

There are articles writing about It being a dirty dram deal because I think that article tried to show how OpenAI did this to cut the competition/make it hard https://bizety.com/2025/12/28/the-dirty-dram-deal-how-openai...

There is also this article I saw where google is scrambling to find supply

https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/ram-shortage...

All of this is basically funded mostly via public money / the money people invest in S&P and others.

I do think that there is something really really fishy going on. Someone please do a journalistic report on Stargate and its finances on how it was able to acquire so much Dram effectively putting the whole compute market in a chokehold

I don't know if team at OpenAI had the intentions of basically squeezing the whole market out of Ram even more so for the normal consumer or whether it was a side effect. The point I am trying to suggest is that basically, they used our own money by converting AI -> hype -> money -> ram chokehold -> computer prices up

But the more I research, All of these are some of the most anti consumer things/ How are you even possible to do these kind of deals...

Considering that OpenAI was once a non profit and the whole drama, I think I followed all that thread too and with all of these things combined with the previous Sam altman's stories... It's just this real mix of really squeezing the law which they name "financial innovation" but I think that's what the housing bubble people said too.

There isn't even a denying that its a bubble anymore. It's just, I feel like we are getting a slow painful impact of almost monopolism/an oligarchy system where the administration won't do anything about it because boom tada ta, they themselves were the salesman of the stargate project.

I dont know what to say as my head hurts thinking all about it. There really isn't any technological edge or anything these companies have, at this point, its just who can get away with more financial "tactical manuevers" (lets be honest messed up ways) to continue the cycle for as long to drag it out.

I am extremely disappointed with how technology and finance have this extremely messed up connection nowadays and a complete disregard to humanity while having the doublespeak to say the opposite or confuse us humans just enough that we won't look behind the curtains.
