Not even gamer DDR5 RAM kits are safe from OpenAI as OpenAI employees are allegedly buying any DDR5 kit they can

After locking the majority of the global memory supply, OpenAI is reportedly also buying up consumer DDR5 memory kits from retail locations. Moore's Law Is Dead claims that the OpenAI employees have been seen visiting retail stores in the hopes of getting their hands on as much memory as possible.

How long until we collectively admit to ourselves this shortage is due to greedy individuals buying out stocks of consumer RAM and storage for deliberate price gouging?

And it works, way too many folks are spending $300-400 on 32 GB kits for no reason, validating this crappy behaviour all the way. Stop paying these insane prices to kill off this situation instead.
