## Key points

- Altman says his DRAM remarks were taken out of context.
- He supports greater memory production and abundant supply.
- Gamers worry AI demand could mean pricier hardware and more cloud gaming.

## Summary

Sam Altman said his comments about personal computers using the world’s limited DRAM supply were taken out of context. He was discussing the case for running AI models in data centres, where memory can be used more intensively, but many PC gamers heard his remarks as criticism of people keeping memory in their own computers.

Altman said he wants people to have as much memory as they want and has long argued for increasing production. His clarification has done little to ease anger over rising hardware costs, which the article links to AI demand; it notes a PlayStation Pro priced at $900 ahead of GTA 6’s release. The dispute also reflects fears that AI and gaming could move towards cloud computing, leaving users with less control over their hardware.
