TRX Altman calls consumer DRAM use 'terrible' amid AI memory scarcity
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said it is "terrible" for people to have RAM in their computers rather than in data centers, according to an interview with YouTuber Cheeky Pint cited by IGN. He argued the market's "invisible hand" is failing and that maximum utilization in the cloud is preferable given a supply-constrained DRAM market. The post attributes rising memory costs to scarcity caused by the AI boom.
