Useless RAM with fake chips in circulation

Scammers are counterfeiting memory chips made of fiberglass, selling useless DDR5 modules. First reports are coming from Japan.

Sam Altman said it's "quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world's limited supply" of DRAM sitting in personal computers.

You know what Sam? I think that it's quite terrible to have all the billionaires have a bunch of the world's money sitting around in their personal bank accounts unused when there are people living on the streets and children going hungry.

And also, as always: Go fuck yourself Sam Altman.
