Iain Kay has launched a parody project named Ram-Altman, which lets users email OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once a day if their system RAM is above 10 percent. This project arose from Altman's comments on the Cheeky Pint podcast regarding the inefficient use of DRAM in personal computers. Altman later stated that his remarks were taken out of context and humorously altered his display name to 'RAM Altman' on social media.
