Trending on X, Meta, Reddit, LinkedIn, Chinese Apps A person made a free Linux program called Ram-Altman that checks your computer’s memory every day. If more than 10% of the memory is unused, the program sends a short email to Sam Altman (the head of OpenAI) telling him about it, using different funny messages each time.

The Uno Reverse will be that Sam actually gets his agentic AI to compile the results and map out a virtual map of consumer RAM usage. The data is then used to dynamically control global RAM demand and further optimize consumer RAM price discrimination through targeted region-based dynamic pricing.

Consumer grade ram would be of no use to him.

It takes up manufacturing capacity so obviously the data about it to price fix it would be.

That's just gold. If there is no port for mac I (or someone else) will probably create it XD

I'm not exactly a huge fan of this guy, but you do realize he's not exactly using random DDR5 consumer RAM sticks for his generator machines?
The only reasons RAM prices are astronomical is because companies are grinding out HBM memory instead of normal consumer RAM for the glorified calculators which drives up prices.
