Sam Altman says your idle RAM belongs in data centers. ASI Alliance CEO Ben Goertzel has another idea OpenAI CEO @sama said on the Cheeky Pint podcast, in an episode released Thursday, that it is “quite terrible” for the world’s scarce memory chips to sit in home PCs. He estimated those PCs use their RAM about 5% of the time. The remark drew wide pushback online, including a meme from @elonmusk. @ASI_Alliance ($FET) CEO @bengoertzel agreed that idle memory is a waste but argued it doesn’t all have to go to big server farms. He said people should be able to rent out spare memory and processing power from their laptops through decentralized networks and earn tokens along the way. He pointed to NuNet, a compute network that grew out of @SingularityNET and went live in March, and to ASI:Chain, the alliance’s blockchain, which has yet to reach mainnet.
