Its actually even worse, the not yet manufactured ram wasn't actually purchased yet but reserved because the AI companies have non binding agreements that say they will purchase ram at a future date. Furthermore it will go in infrastructure that can only exist because big tech promises in non binding agreements to invest in AI. In order to meet the energy and manufacturing needs to build new datacenters they're making contracts and hiring construction companies who will probably never get paid.
When the house of cards crumbles, we might be in for a treat, as there will be a big RAM surplus.
Haha jk there will be the Next Big Thing then to screw us over.

that shit lasted what, 10 to 16 years?
The mining craze where gpus went up 3X IF you even could buy one?
That was from 2020 to 2022, with the late rtx 3000 and the launching of the rtx 4000.
Prices stayed up though, but not 3X, and without stock problems.
