Elon Musk vs Sam Altman: After OpenAI CEO questions people's RAM usage at home, Musk defends ordinary users with a meme

Elon Musk has taken a dig at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman after the latter questioned why people keep large amounts of RAM in their personal computers when the limited memory supply could be used more efficiently by AI data centres. Sharing a meme on X, Musk defended ordinary consumers. The exchange comes amid a global memory shortage that is driving up prices of PCs, smartphones and other electronic devices.
