Nice article but the numbers are a lot lower here in the EU.
While there is some pricing increase it's currently more around 50% and not 100%.
The selected kit is also extremely expensive (350€ was ~300€) - similar kits are available for a lot less (270€ was ~180€) - so I doubt that anyone was buying it in the first place.
I also think it's not completely AI related but more likely that this is another RAM price fixing scandal happening right now.
Pretty much the same that we see today happend in 2017-2018.
Just read through the bluesky thread and it's obvious that she's a CEO and has no idea how to code or design infrastructure
It's leasing access to a whole sprawling, capital-intensive, technically-capable system that must be just as available in Cairo as in Capetown, just as functional in Bangkok as Berlin.
Yeah then why was Signal completely down when a single datacenter (us-east-1) fails and all others are working perfectly?
Did it ever come to your brilliant mind that your system design might be the problem?
Jump over your shadow, say that you screwed up and tell the people that you are no longer going to rely on a single S3 bucket in us-east-1 and stop your fingerpointing.
But you don't even manage to host a proper working status page or technically explain your outages, so guess this train is long gone...
