    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.

      Sam Altman put in an order for RAM. A company is willing to supply it. That company is souly responsible for how they distribute their product. They could only supply them with a small portion of the order and be fair about it but they choose not too. 🤷

      Yes Altman is not blameless but he’s also not responsible.
