"OpenAI CEO says it's quite terrible for your PC to have RAM - Sam Altman says data centers offer better utilization"

Because of the RAM shortage, cause by AI data centers, having DRAM sitting in your own computer is bad - says one of the causes of the RAM shortage and the CEO of a company whose business model is impacted by running open-weight LLMs at home on your own DRAM, purchased at inflated prices.

...Have you ever asked a question you weren't supposed to ask?

Someone should tell Sam Altman I'm using 96GB of DDR5 RAM to run Syncterm, log into my text-only-mode BBS, and post this message.

I want to see him have a stroke.

...Don't go to work, there's a lot to do.

I can't imagine being of a mindset to strip-mine intellectual property
for the "betterment of mankind", then built a profit model on selling
the results of said strip-mining back to people. All while
RAM-shaming your customers (is that a thing now?), threatening to sue
others for stealing the content you misappropriated and calling out
that your product has a non-zero chance of killing all mankind.

We're living in a Marvel comic with comic-book villains being idolized.

Supposedly, Elon Musk has called Altman out for that RAM-shaming quote, so I guess it is not all of them (or at least publicly it is not all of them).

Pretty much.

I'll need to look on twitter for a one-line, unpunctuated sentence
fragment from him.

LOL!

Read this morning that Altman has since walked-back his comment. He is OK with us "normals" having our own RAM. :D
