Sam Altman says it’s better for RAM to be in a data center than on your desk

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, believes it's better for RAM to be in data centers rather than personal PCs due to supply chain shortages. He argues that having RAM in personal PCs leads to inefficient utilization and waste, while maximum utilization in the cloud is necessary to deal with the constrained environment. Memory companies have reserved much of the world's RAM output for cloud service operators and projects like OpenAI's Stargate, leading to higher prices for laptops, phones, and other devices.
