Briefings

A developer named Ram-Altman created a satirical script to mock Sam Altman's comments on the Cheeky Pint podcast, where Altman criticized the assumption that local AI inference requires no data center infrastructure. The project, described as a parody, allows users to email Altman daily if more than 10% of their system RAM is available, directly referencing his claim that global DRAM allocation is terrible. The script was inspired by Altman's October 29 remarks, which he later clarified were taken out of context and his display name changed to 'RAM Altman' on X.
