Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

All those data centers will be of little use. The components used are deliberately e-waste, designed to die in 5 years or less. The rack space is the cheapest part and if there's no demand, they will be quickly deprecating real state. Anything built will be demolished and sold as soon as the bubble bursts. That's their usual destiny, as data centers are not a very profitable for lease space.
