According to CoinMeta, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman complained during an interview about the global shortage of memory supply, stating that a large amount of DRAM was idle in personal computers and only used for about 5% of the time, which he considered a waste of scarce resources. He suggested that memory should be centralized in cloud data centers for more efficient utilization. Netizens joked that he wanted all the world's memory and even suggested that he change his name to „Ram Altman“. In response, after saying „ok yeah“, he actually changed his name. Altman later explained that he hoped for a significant increase in global memory production so that everyone could install the amount of memory they desired in their computers and expressed dissatisfaction with his words being taken out of context.
