Sam Altman's original meaning was: using DRAM for local AI model inference is "terrible resource allocation," because that memory sits idle most of the time.

UnverifiedAltman's original statement was a technical judgment about resource allocation efficiency, not a wholesale rejection of local AI.70% similarUnverifiedSam Altman personally believes that today's AI models are not conscious, and that even if they were, it would be in a very strange form.69% similarUnverifiedAI models have no project memory and start each new session in an amnesiac state, so key technical decisions need to be documented in ADR files for the AI to read.67% similarUnverifiedIn AI workloads, especially in the inference phase of large models, memory bandwidth often determines actual performance more than raw compute, because model parameters must be frequently moved between memory and compute units, and insufficient bandwidth causes compute units to idle.67% similarUnverifiedAs AI tools become deeply embedded in development workflows, their resource overhead (disk, memory, battery) is shifting from "negligible" to "needs managing."67% similar
