Altman argues that having RAM in personal computers is inefficient when the world faces a compute shortage for AI development. The DRAM shortage has driven up prices for gaming consoles, PCs, and electronics, making them unaffordable for regular consumers. Social media users criticize Altman for showing no concern about consumer suffering while benefiting data centers and AI companies.
