"From a global allocation perspective, actually, 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 5% of the time," Altman said. "You want maximum utilization in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment. And somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that."

Insane that taking almost all of it and hoarding it like smaug isn't enough.

I get what he's saying, but at the same time, I bet that the vast majority of the recently produced RAM has gone to data centers, or at the very least PCs probably aren't exactly taking up a particularly significant portion.

Anyway, I'm not going to watch the actual interview because I have better use for my time, but just by the sound of it, he's pretty detached from us regular people and our interests. I'm willing to be proven wrong, of course, but that's my impression.

Yeah, it would be so much better to sell even more RAM to the tech bros to have it collecting dust in some warehouses because the glorious data centers aren't getting finished anytime soon. Great idea. Love it.

Fuck you very much, Mr. Altman.

Really are some shitdick cunt fucks who need to be punted into the shadow realm.
