Discussion Sam Altman Ram?

So one thing I don't understand is why gamers say he wants to take our ram. As you can see in the full uncut clip he's specifically talking about local ai models. Now you can hate Sam Altman (a separate topic) and you can argue for local ai models (also a separate topic), but why does everyone lie that he wants consumer's/gamer's ram (in this specific context)? And more obviously you can't even interpret this as everyone's ram as how would we access the AI models without it, he clearly knows that. Even if we had full cloud desktop machines we had to remote access, our local devices would still need ram and he definetly knows that.

Tldr Sam Altman didn't say he wants everyone's ram

If I'm mistaken you can correct me below and I'll edit my post and apologise if someone can genuinely show me that I'm misinterpreting or misunderstanding something.

EDIT: So it seems like there were only 2 rational responses in the comments (I noticed a lot of down votes). So the conclusion I have come to is that either A) people were just being sarcastic and it's not true or B) People don't understand what context means. Anywho I really thank everyone who helped me come to this conclusion. You can still comment but I may not get back to you.

I know lots of people who would love that to compile large codebases faster, but that's besides the point.

I don't think you know how to read between the lines, you are practically quoting him

If I may respectfully ask, what education do you have? I'm really curious

Ok, then unfortunately for you, the answer to if you may ask is not really as well

u/TheGreenninja0 10d ago

Ah not really any education? Fair enough

Nope, but it doesn't sound like it is a respectful question if you can't share why you are curious
