OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended his remarks about PC memory purchases on election night, changing his name on X to “Ram Altman.” He said he wants memory production to expand so people can put as much RAM as they want in their computers. His earlier criticism of PCs using limited DRAM while idle came as AI data centers buy up supplies, fueling shortages and tech price increases.
