Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead

This will literally fill their coffers to the brim faster then staying in the consumer market. Also the consumer market won’t go away anytime soon and there are very few competitors to begin with. They can just return to the consumer market once the AI bubble has burst like nothing has changed. Only difference is they will have way more money in the bank than if they never left.

I swear busiensses are run like political parties, they simply dont care about anything beyond the next cycle.
