Sam Altman wants to remove the RAM from your PC to use it on his AI servers

The RAM memory crisis It is leaving abusive prices for consumers, in all products that have this component, or are simply related to it. All because of the Artificial intelligencewhere memory manufacturers are taking away resources to supply memory servers, leaving a minimal portion for consumers. But this is not what you think Sam Altman of OpenAIhe thinks consumer PCs are wasting the scarce RAM that can currently be manufactured.

Sam Altman believes that RAM is better used in AI data centers

Basically all products depend on the RAM memoryeither because they incorporate it or because they depend on a computer with RAM memory for their manufacture. Memory is going up, and much more memory for consumers, which has multiplied its price by up to 4 for “simple” ones. 32GB DDR5. But Sam Altam goes further and also thinks that manufacturing memory for PCs is wasting this resource, which would be better used in computers. data centers for AI.

Although these statements were referring to the users running the AI on premisesthe comments have unleashed the fury of consumers on the networks, who thanks to companies like yours have made us have to pay quadruple for memory modules for our PC. Specifically, Sam Altman says that memory for local AI is only used one 5% of the timeand that would be better used in the cloud AI servers so that everyone can experience the full power of this technology without depending on local resources.

Sam Altman finds that memory for local AI is used only 5% of the time

On the other hand, dear Sam Altman, all PCs need memory to functioneven if you are referring to PCs for local AI. Surely these are also used for other tasks for which this memory that you want to take with you for your AI servers in the cloud is essential, and in the process continue pocketing millionaire amounts for the consumption of tokens.

The RAM crisis pits OpenAI’s interests against consumers

You want all the RAM for your business, and users want to pay the same as a few months ago for RAM for their PC. I think that, in any case and although you have harshly criticized this, you are in an advantageous position with respect to the final consumer and the purchase of DDR5 memory for a PC.

We leave you the full video below, although it begins at the minute where he makes these statements.
