"RAM Altman": the script that shares your PC's unused RAM with Sam Altman

A satirical open-source script called “RAM Altman” now emails Sam Altman a daily report of how much unused RAM sits idle on a user’s PC, turning the OpenAI CEO’s recent remarks about wasted memory into a running joke. The project, covered by Cryptoast, requires users to run the script locally and report their idle memory to Altman, though the article gives no specific figures for RAM volumes or participant counts. It matters as a lighthearted test of Altman’s argument that spare computing capacity on personal machines is an underused resource, a theme that echoes the decentralized compute and DePIN narratives in crypto. What to watch next is whether the stunt stays a meme or draws attention to protocols that pay users for idle hardware, and whether Altman responds.
