The AI memory bubble is going to bust eventually. They have such enormous brand recognition and are known for selling a quality-first product.
To just throw that all away is insane.
For the last ten plus years I have only bought Crucial RAM. I am well beyond disapointed to hear this.
All the samsung ones I've tried have died within a year. Fast until they died I suppose.
Any recommendations for nvme in a post-micron world?
What the fuck does "secular" even mean in this context? Is there religious DRAM?
What a short-sighted, boneheaded move. I'm so tired of the MBA-ificiation of every single part of my life.
Steam is a powerful force, and I applaud them for staying private and not IPO'ing - but their founders won't be around forever (hell Gabe, please transfer Steam into some sort of public-good trust or whatever, or have provisions in your will making it impossible for whomever inherits the company to enshittify), and sadly even they can't beat down on the studios too hard lest they end up like Netflix.
RAM optimized for TempleOS and Holy-C
And same. Though blowing significant fractions of a trillion dollars into (imo) investments that are never gonna return anything near to making that a good plan (ex a government bailout) will inevitably redirect huge portions of stuff we care about. The world's gdp is about 90T iirc; that is basically taking 1/90th of the stuff the world does in a year and putting it into ai.
Response (who said recently AI cannot do comedy):
Here are a few ways to rewrite this text using plain English, depending on how formal you want to be.
The original text relies heavily on corporate jargon like "secular growth vectors," "portfolio transformation," and "create value." The rewrites below aim to make these concepts concrete.
### Option 1: Professional & Direct (Best for reports or press) > "Micron is shifting its strategy to focus on the most profitable, long-term growth areas in memory and storage. By targeting business and enterprise customers, the company aims to boost its long-term performance and deliver better results for customers and shareholders."
### Option 2: Concise (Best for quick updates) > "Micron is refocusing on high-growth memory and storage markets to improve long-term profits. By concentrating on business customers rather than consumers, the company plans to create more value for its investors and clients."
### Option 3: Simple & Conversational (Best for spoken explanations) > "This decision is part of Micron’s plan to change what we sell. We are focusing on business markets where we see steady, long-term growth. This will help us run a better business and help our customers and investors succeed."

### Key Changes Made
* *"Ongoing portfolio transformation"* Changed to *"shifting its strategy"* or *"changing what we sell."* This clarifies that the company is changing its mix of products. * *"Secular... growth vectors"* Changed to *"long-term growth areas."* In finance, "secular" refers to trends that last a long time (as opposed to seasonal trends), but in plain English, it is often confusing. * *"Core enterprise and commercial segments"* Changed to *"business and enterprise customers."* This clarifies who they are selling to.
*Would you like me to shorten this further for a slide deck or a specific headline?*
