Prices of RAM, GPUs, SSDs and even HDDs are now way out of reach for many people [0]. An SSD I bought 2 years ago at $300 CAD now cost $1K CAD for example and it's not gonna go down any time soon.
This feels like classic economics, though - if the price of something goes up because of demand, then more suppliers enter the market and supply increases.
Also, the AI thing is a bubble, and bubbles burst. Sooner or later all that demand is going to disappear and we'll be oversupplied.

But yes, interesting times indeed.
