   No one will use AI products if there won't be consumer products because of RAM shortage.

      The plan is to make us all use shitty hardware like a chromebook and rent compute from the cloud for anything heavier than a web browser.

         The way Chrome feasts on RAM, might need the cloud for that too.

            Honestly, FF became similar worse: On my 16 GB machine, when surfing some hours FF has allocated around 10-11 GB and for whatever reason it does not free them, unless I exit and restart it

               Perhaps we should blame this on shitty website design. So many of them load huge assets for no good reason. They get away with it because modern processors are that good, bandwidth is cheap, and until now, RAM has also been cheap.
