The world is bigger than the US. If the political climate in the US obstructs the build out, the build out will occur somewhere else.

No, they'll be shipped off to Asia where technology is embraced.

>Possible data center bans incoming
A lot of the data center build out has been bipartisan. Unless Dems realize they need to listen to their constituents to avoid a 2028 bloodbath (they probably won't), I wouldn't count on that to save us from RAM/GPU prices.

Haha, that's beyond wishful thinking, I'm afraid. We're not even seeing a flood of A100s (6 yo and several generations old). Every GPU is still being squeezed right now, and the trend will probably continue for the foreseeable future.
