what u guy's think of this ram shortage

I guess all these AI businesses is buying it all up. So instead of ram costing a couple hundred now it is 2 or 3 time's more. I heard certain cell phone businesses are going to bring out new phones with less ram and storage. Also this is going to impact everything that takes ram to work

AI is responsible for it, directly and indirectly.

The switch to commercial RAM production for data centers, meant major manufactures prioritized higher margin HBM, leaving consumer-based DRAM in extremely low supply. This is going to persist through 2028. Hobbyists will have to pay through the nose, and may be forced to switch to commercial rigs. I have not built a single system outside the Raspberry Pi universe.
