Okay so ram prices went vroom vroom. Who make RAM, bugmen. Did their costs go up? Nope, not one single penny. Are they gaining the profit? Maybe a small fraction of it, but not any significant portion.

Who gains all that profit? US companies. Who pays for it? 95% of everyone else on Earth. Will it be $30 trillion? No, not close. But that isn't the point. Because the initial "payment" is by hyperscalers, AI datacenters etc. Those costs will be baked int o their 'product' (you, fellow bug people). It's the gift that keeps on stealing your information, selling your identity and giving your login information away.

Oh, what uses RAM? TV Phone Car Dishwasher Vacuum Cleaner Alarm Clock ...

There are only, what, 3 major RAM fabricat ors? Samsung, SK and Micron.

By Joe I think you have it! AI is creating engineered shortages of RAM. You can still be a full production but if the big players are buying up all the RAM for their shitty LLMs/glorified chatbots that will drive up prices. DDR5 is the main RAM in production now which is why I am planning to stick with DDR4 until all the jacking off for AI is over in a 6 to 8 months.
