A Linux script called Ram Altman checks a computer’s memory use and, if more than 10% is free, sends one email a day to Sam Altman with the figures, PCMag Australia reports, quoting its developer, Iain Kay. It is a joke aimed at Altman’s comments about PCs sitting on scarce memory while using only a small share of it for local AI.
Why it mattersThe useful detail is also the obvious pause point: the script sends real RAM figures to Altman, so this is a gag to understand before you run it, not a harmless bit of background wallpaper.
Discuss: Is this a fair piece of tech satire, or does sending someone’s actual memory figures cross a line even when they install the script themselves?
