Sam Altman has a problem with RAM in your PCs, as he sees a better utilisation for them, one that has made many Americans ‘upset’

​Sam Altman has questioned how personal computers use scarce memory. The OpenAI chief executive argued that cloud data centres could use it more consistently than home machines running artificial intelligence (AI) occasionally. Speaking to Stripe co-founder John Collison on the Cheeky Pint podcast, he challenged the assumption that locally run AI models would reduce the need for large computing facilities.​“A lot of people want local inference. And somehow, they assume that the problem is solved now. Because we are going to have open-source models. We're going to be able to run them on our computers. And so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data center.
