or if you believe a lot of HN crowd we are in AI bubble and in 10 years inference will be dirt cheap when all of this crashes and we have all this hardware in data centers and it won't make any sense to run monster workstations at home (I work 128GB M4 but not run inference, just too many electron apps running at the same time...) :)

This is somewhat depressing - needing a couple of thousand bucks worth of ram just to run your chat app and code/text editor and API doco tool and forum app and notetaking app all at the same time...

Crucial (Micron) sold 128GB of DDR5-5600 in SODIMM form for $280 a year ago. It would be slower tham the same amount on an M4 Mac, but still, I object to characterizing either as “a couple thousand bucks worth”.

I( get that number by optioning up a Mac Studio to 128GB at the Apple Store.
(Admittedly, Apple should be facing criminal price gouging law suits for their ram pricing.)

Inference will be dirt cheap for things like coding but you'll want much more compute for architectural planning, personal assistants with persistent real time "thinking / memory", as well as real time multimedia. I could put 10 M4s to work right now and it won't be enough for what I've been cooking.
