I know the main cause is AI but why now, why was there not this demand at the same time as when GPU prices started to sky rocket?

Also I dont see why AI needs RAM like VRAM I get it but why RAM?

Based on the way this is all going, there will be a sudden dip, then Trump will tweet some horse shit about AI popping, then it will be a vertical line down. Those who support him, which is every billionaire right now just about, will be in the know or find out at point that Trump fucked them.
