A viral meme pastes Sam Altman's face onto a RAM stick captioned "RAM Altman btw", joking that the AI compute arms race is the real culprit behind the current surge in memory prices.

The joke lands because it reflects a real industry shift: massive data-center demand from AI training and inference is squeezing consumer RAM supply, and PC builders are feeling the price hikes. It's a funny but pointed take on "AI eating the world's memory capacity."
