This is an experimental and opinionated piece that I hope triggers some interesting discussion about the current situation with memory makers getting sued and possibly/allegedly the prices being deliberately manipulated with.

If anyone actually manages to read this, feedback is welcome

It makes me think of when Epic Games sued Apple: at some point, there could be more “smaller” companies like Valve that would be frustrated with the situation enough to do something about it. Maybe we should boycott the use of AI (unlikely), maybe we should boycott buying next gen consoles (more likely), etc. We can do something about it if we, as a society, become more conscious about the situation, even though conscious consumerism sounds overly optimistic.

I have to be honest here ... i highly doubt it. I think nothing is going to change, there is going to be a bubble burst, there are going to be bailouts, nothing is going to change, and the regular user is going to get poorer and poorer. To some degree its the user fault for using this crap, but from another perspective you cant do shit about it as they are pushing this down people throaths and regular users dont even see this until its too late. Water is going to get scares, there are going to be lots more diseases, its going to be a shit storm.

As a religions person i truly believe this is the end times. We are at the finish line. Richer are getting WAAAAY richer and powerful, they are laughing in our faces, making us dumber, poorer, and to fight each other so we dont have time to say something about anything that matters. How can it not be the end times, what is to come out of all this mess? Just look at the data centers, pollution (not only from them), poverty, climate ... everything is literally doomed, regular people just dont want to see it, dont want to believe it so to speak.
