That's cool and all, but when can I buy RAM again?
In 4 years or never. The latter probably being the most likely, since they are not just keeping RAM from you for AI purposes. They don’t want you to own you own hardware anymore, so they just simply stop manufacturing consumergrade hardware.

Probably not never - CXMT are trying to aggressively expand to fill the market now the major players have left, but it will still be a few years before prices really come down as a result.

Never if you are in the US. In a few years if you are allowed to buy Chinese.
