getting roasted online after suggesting it\u2019s \u201cquite terrible\u201d that ordinary people are using up the world\u2019s limited supply of computer memory instead of putting it to better use in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>The Bay Area tech billionaire made the eyebrow-raising remarks during a recent interview with S<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\"

Sam Altman called it \u201cquite terrible\u201d for people to have DRAM on their personal computers. <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The OpenAI chief argued that because the average person only uses their DRAM about 5% of the time, the world\u2019s supply should be put to maximum use \u2014 particularly in what he described as a \u201cvery supply constrained environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>The comments quickly set off a RAMpage online, with viewers accusing Altman of suggesting that computer memory belongs in AI data centers rather than in the hands of everyday consumers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter

computers because from my perspective it should all belong to me,&#8217;\u201d another comment read.<\/p>\n<p>Altman continued his RAMpage by adding that \u201csomehow, many people\u2019s intuition is the opposite\u201d of wanting to maximize the utilization of the cloud.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span

apparent argument that OpenAI and other tech giants should have greater access to the world\u2019s memory supply, rather than leaving so much of it sitting in personal computers.<\/p>\n<p>The OpenAI CEO also used the conversation to tout his company\u2019s AI tools, arguing that people are increasingly willing to turn to artificial intelligence to improve the way they work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a culture where people, even if they\u2019ve done something the old-fashioned way for a long time, are super willing to try using AI to do it better,\u201d Altman said in the interview.<\/p>\n<figure
