    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

            Same. I have to restart FF once it reaches the 10GB mark.
