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

AFAIK, before AI it was COVID coupled with cryptomining, yet the only thing it hurt was GPU prices going up, not DRAM. Now, we have both GPUs and RAM sticks costing as much as a decent PC that you could build at least two years ago... yeah, I am somewhat hurt over my dream of building a high-end battlestation, which might not come to reality anytime soon.
