    I am waiting patiently for the AI bubble to pop so that all of a sudden there’s an excess supply of ram, gpu’s, drives, etc.

          There’s nothing to see. Those datacenters run specialized server hardware. If the AI bubble bursts, they’ll likely just be sold to another hosting/saas company as is.

          Even if the hardware gets back into the market, it’s not consumer hardware. There will be no Ryzens and RTXs flooding the market, but Epyc/Xeons, Reg ECC RAM and videoless GPGPUs.

            I would have expected manufacturers to be increasing production due to the bubble, so when demand evaporates there would be an oversupply. EG - expanded memory production would lead to an oversupply of memory post-burst, leading to a reduction in prices. But a quick google shows at least memory and HDD manufacturers aren’t increasing output, possibly recognizing a bubble, and some things (e.g. GPU’s, SSD’s) are supply-constrained due to memory shortages. Others like CPU manufacturers seem to be increasing supply capacity. So maybe it’s more of a mixed bag.
