Sam Altman 回应 RAM 言论争议：大家想装多少内存就装多少
Sam Altman addresses RAM comments: People should ‘put as much as they want in their computers’
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman 在 X 上将昵称改为“Ram Altman”，回应此前在 Cheeky Pint 播客中“个人电脑占用全球 DRAM 供应却大多闲置”的言论引发的争议，称其被断章取义，并强调自己长期呼吁扩大内存产能。AI 数据中心抢占 RAM 供应导致短缺和涨价，Intel 预计短缺至少持续到明年，SK Hynix 预测可能延续到 2030 年。

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spent election night defending his position on PC RAM purchases. He changed his name on X to “Ram Altman” in response to another user’s comment, saying, “i actually do want the world to have tons of memory and people to put as much as they want in their computers, and it is fucking annoying that this was taken out of context. i have been arguing for the world to ramp up memory production for a long time.”
He replied to another comment, saying, “i want you to have so much ram lets build more.”
Altman’s posts follow an interview on the Cheeky Pint podcast, where he said “it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time.” AI data centers have been snapping up the world’s RAM supply, driving shortages that are leading to tech price hikes and making it tough for many people to “have so much ram” like Altman says he wants. The RAM shortage might not let up anytime soon, either — Intel’s expecting it to last through at least next year, and SK Hynix predicted it could drag on until 2030.
