Its actually even worse, the not yet manufactured ram wasn't actually purchased yet but reserved because the AI companies have non binding agreements that say they will purchase ram at a future date. Furthermore it will go in infrastructure that can only exist because big tech promises in non binding agreements to invest in AI. In order to meet the energy and manufacturing needs to build new datacenters they're making contracts and hiring construction companies who will probably never get paid.

So...hold out for a couple of years and then buy when cheap RAM floods the market?

When the house of cards crumbles, we might be in for a treat, as there will be a big RAM surplus.

Haha jk there will be the Next Big Thing then to screw us over.
