  Sam Altman has nothing to do with the current RAM shortage. Moreover, this is not the first RAM shortage. It also occurred during the earlier crypto-mining boom, and at that time no one was having public meltdowns trying to hunt down the inventor of Bitcoin.

  The reason there is a RAM shortage is straightforward, the manufacturers that control the majority of production have chosen to sell primarily to a single industry because that is where the highest margins currently exist. From a financial standpoint, they have little incentive to sell to anyone else.

  If you are looking for accountability, direct it at the large corporations that are deliberately allocating supply to maximize profit. They are the ones shaping the shortage, not individual tech executives.

    Now, who could be in charge of the company most well known for needing absurd amounts of RAM to make their product work?

    Who goes around making hundred billion dollar deals to ensure their business has access to massive datacenters filled with GPUs that need 2000GB of RAM?

    Whose company recently wanted to buy 40% of all RAM on the market, and got a letter of intent from major RAM producers who were willing to supply it, assuming they got paid?

    Oh, right! SAM FUCKING ALTMAN! You’re right that RAM producers are currently profit-maximizing openly and nakedly, but to call him blameless would be naive and just wrong. They wouldn’t be doing so, at least not to this degree, had ChatGPT and LLMs not become the hottest new scam bubble tech industry through his actions.

  That’s the least significant reason for beating Sam Altmann to death.

  Recently upgraded my servers. 256GB ddr5 each. Was 1600 moneyz altogether. Now, not half a year later, the exact same ram is 6400 now.

  I bought twice the amount by accident and sent half of it back…for which I now bit my left nut off…could’ve been a free bunch of gaming PCs.

    Oof, you lucky dog. Except the last part, but that’s just the difference between being just lucky and being really fucking lucky.

    Elon Musk wanted to do this, but his mom said he couldn’t.

    It’s Saltman who bought 40% of world’s supply of RAM until 2029.

    He is also a Zionist Jew.

  But why not give in? Bottling up negative energy is not good for you.

    Came to ask the same thing.

    Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.

      Damn, that’s also true.

      Fortunately Kissinger is dead!

      Unfortunately, Altman is still alive.

  Normally, I think killing a CEO will cause no good because they’re so replaceable, but I could make an exception and celebrate Sam’s death.

  At least until I have to look at 500 Tankie posts trying to convince western teens and facebook uncles to worship him.

    right, but have you considered that (targeted!) terrorism works?

    Disagree because they would behave differently if there was consequences

    I don’t think it’s tankies doing that.
