This especially feels familiar with reservations of memory not yet manufactured for data centers not yet guaranteed. In this special report and deep-dive documentary, we dig deep through the archives of the internet, magazines, and newspapers to compile a definitive history of the DRAM Cartel, plus its modern parallels to the AI industry. Our documentary covers the memory price-fixing scandal of 1998-2002, additional price fixing conspiracy allegations in 2016-2022, and all the ways in which the memory makers have stabbed each other in the back over the last 60 years. This deep-dive report took our team OVER 255 HOURS of editing, writing, art, and research to put together. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT to be able to afford videos like this.
