So you're arguing that ai companies overbought memory to increase scarcity? Possibly even buying e.g. consumer ddr?

just a theory! The end result was too make it difficult for me and you to run llms on our systems, and you need porwerfull system to run them. But some months ago, those powerfull systems where affordable for end consumers. Now, good luck buying let's say 128gb ddr5.
