Sam Altman addresses RAM comments: people should ‘put as much as they want in their computers’

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, also known as 'Ram Altman' on X, has been defending his stance on PC RAM purchases, stating that he wants people to have as much RAM as they want in their computers, despite previous comments suggesting he wanted to limit RAM availability to prioritize data centers. Altman clarified that he has been advocating for increased RAM production to meet global demand, rather than restricting it. The RAM shortage, which has led to price hikes and supply chain issues, is expected to continue into at least 2024, according to Intel, or as long as 2030, according to SK Hynix.
