A developer has published Ram-Altman, an open-source Linux script that checks available memory and can email Sam Altman when more than 10% is idle. It is a cheeky response to Altman’s comments about how scarce DRAM is allocated between personal computers and AI data centres.
Why it mattersGadget Review says the script checks every five minutes but limits itself to one email a day. It has a dry-run mode, and users must configure a recipient before anything is sent. Its repository warns that mass automated emailing could amount to a denial-of-service attack, so the joke works best at the stated, decidedly non-mob scale.
Discuss: Is this a harmless bit of tech satire, or does automating a real person’s inbox cross a line even at one email a day?
