OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faced online backlash after stating it is "quite terrible" that everyday individuals are using the global supply of computer memory instead of directing those resources toward the cloud.
Altman delivered the controversial statement during a recent interview while addressing the rising need for memory capacity in personal computing hardware.
"It's quite terrible that people are using up the world's limited supply of computer memory instead of putting it to better use in the cloud," said Altman.
The remark triggered numerous reactions from technology analysts and platform users who expressed doubts regarding the practicality of shifting memory away from personal machines toward cloud networks.
