That’s what you get for being so dim.

I don't think that they have much to do with the shortage one way or another. The companies described in the article aren't AI companies or even memory chip manufacturers (I wouldn't have called them "RAM makers", personally). They're companies that buy memory chips and assemble them into things like DIMMs.

Cannot wait for that sweet sweet bankruptcy RAM

You will literally never see a single piece of RAM that these companies fail to assemble for the consumer space.

They're not RAM manufacturers. They're RAM assemblers; The companies that assemble the now insanely expensive RAM chips in to deliverable packages like DDR5 sticks.
