It's not just normal consumer memory. Everything with a chip in it is getting more expensive because of the AI circlejerk. When Bitcoin screwed over consumers, at least normal memory prices weren't affected (though that time a shitcoin based around storing large amounts of data made the rounds, hard drive prices did take a brief hit).
Everything is affected by the endless thirst for RAM by AI companies and the accompanying hyperscalers. I'm honestly disappointed governments aren't doing more to keep the price of consumer goods in check.
I guess the AI companies telling the world how good they are at accidental cybercrime and fraud is creating enough FUD to let the AI industry run wild.
