'The People Deserve to Have Their RAM Too!' Elon Musk Mocks OpenAI Sam Altman's Claim that People Owning Home PCs with RAM Is 'Terrible'
Altman said scarce memory should be used in cloud systems because personal computers keep DRAM idle most of the time, as prices rise across the industry.
- On Saturday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with about 50 Samsung presidents at their training centre in Yongin, South Korea, to discuss how AI will reshape business decision-making over the next ten years.
- Two days earlier, Altman told Stripe co-founder John Collison on his podcast that it is "quite terrible" for the world's limited DRAM to sit in personal computers, where it is used only 5% of the time.
