New Script Daily Emails Sam Altman Every Time Your PC Has Spare RAM
Because billionaire tech bosses apparently need daily inventory reports on your desktop memory, a sarcastic developer built a tool to make it happen.
A developer named IainKay decided that complaints on social media are far too quiet, releasing an open-source tool called Ram Altman. The script checks your computer's memory stats once a day and automatically fires off an email to OpenAI chief Sam Altman if you happen to have idle RAM sitting around.
The project takes aim at previous comments where Sam Altman called massive amounts of memory in personal computers a “terrible” thing for global resource distribution. Naturally, the tech community responded the only way it knows how: with sheer bureaucratic pettiness.
To keep things fresh, the script cycles through eight different subject lines, ten text bodies, and six sign-offs, gracefully limiting itself to a single daily delivery. It even factors in page cache correctly and logs every measurement into a CSV file just in case an auditor drops by for a visit.
The software is written in Bash rather than Electron, saving users from the supreme irony of an app designed to complain about memory usage by immediately eating twenty gigabytes of it. After getting relentlessly memed, the executive even temporarily changed his display name on X to “Ram Altman” and joked about the situation.
There is a rare poetry in weaponizing background cron jobs against the architects of artificial intelligence. It turns out that when global tech elites try to micromanage personal hardware choices, they inevitably invite thousands of automated reminders about precisely how much silicon is currently napping on home desks.
