Call it what it actually is: societal abuse from wealthy oligarchs with their masks removed. One man bought up all the RAM on planet Earth, and everyone's like "lol I guess computers are just expensive now".
Second-Handers love to denigrate the work of Elon Musk and Sam Altman, but these men are solving fundamental problems, you can get your DRAM on the second-hand market after Sam uses it to create AGI. A reasonable man would be very grateful for the existence of these oligarchs. I assume you are just posting unconsciously not unreasonably.
