ChatGPT 创始人:个人玩家用大内存简直浪费 内存持续紧缺,AI 大佬开始嫌消费者浪费内存资源了

ChatGPT founder: It is a waste for individual players to use large memory. Memory continues to be in short supply, and AI bosses are beginning to think that consumers are wasting memory resources! Recently, OpenAI CEO Altman gave a "high talk" in a podcast: There is a serious shortage of DRAM memory in the world, and it is a pure waste for everyone to install large memory in personal computers! In his view, the current memory chip production capacity is tight, and the utilization rate of DRAM scattered in massive personal computers is extremely low. It is idle most of the time and is actually working only about 5% of the time. From the perspective of global chip resource allocation, this model is very inefficient. He prefers to centralize limited DRAM into cloud data centers. Then, relying on the dynamic scheduling capabilities of the cloud, memory can be shared among multiple tasks, increasing overall utilization and using scarce chip resources in high-load scenarios such as AI computing power. What Ultraman said may make sense, but in his eyes, the memory sticks that we players pay for have become a "waste of resources"? Your AI efforts have turned memory into a scarce resource, not to mention the significant increase in our purchase costs. Now that you have finished the work, you think we are wasting it? However, this incident also reflects that the competition between AI manufacturers and consumers for memory is far from over. I'm afraid memory price reduction is still far away, so everyone should be prepared for another three years of tinkering!
