Prasoon Pratham pushes back hard on Sam Altman's comments about the memory shortage: today's AI agents spawn so many processes that 32GB RAM is table stakes, and computer/browser use makes it worse. He calls blaming consumers for a shortage the industry created a 'tone-deaf F-tier take', noting consumer demand is marginal versus enterprise demand. His quoted post shows off 256GB of RAM aimed at Altman.
