Altman says leaving RAM idle in PCs for local AI is “pretty bad” amid a memory shortage
On the Cheeky Pint podcast, by Stripe's John Collison, Sam Altman said that, from a global allocation standpoint, it is “pretty bad” for each person to have part of the world's limited DRAM supply in their own computer, used 5% of the time, and that in a tight-supply scenario the ideal is maximum utilization in the cloud. Gizmodo criticized the remark, read as a defense of concentrating memory in OpenAI's own data centers.
