They use HBM (High Bandwidth Memory). PCs, laptops and phones don't use this type of RAM.

The better question is, why are they doing all of this without an actual purchase contract?

Because it's AI, haven't you heard? Does it make sense for the business? Who cares, it's AI. Is it financially sustainable? Dude, it's AI though. Will there be any customers for any of it? The AI says there will be. You've got to understand, this is AI we're talking about. It's the AI revolution that will transform the world. We've got to bet everything on the AI, or we'll be left out of the AI future. I asked the AI and it was very clear about that.

Hey @grok is this true?

Grok: yes, I am very great. I am good at everything because I am AI. Also, fuck the Jews.
