Oh no.

There are going to be a ton of people that have no idea why this sentiment is absolutely horrible.

He should just download some more RAM for his data centers

He can purchase it from those who aren’t using their own.

The big servers in data centers probably don’t use the same mem cards my Mac does.


No, but by and large it does use the same wafers from the fab that could be going to data centers.

Imagine looking at a global power grid crisis caused by massive unoptimized model bloat and deciding that the real problem is the 32GB of DDR5 sitting in some incels gaming basement at his moms house.

"Maximum utilization in the cloud" is just corporate speak for, please stop running anything locally so we can lock you into a metered billing cycle where you pay per token to parse a local text file, anyone working on the technical side of software development, machine learning engineering, or the cloud computing space will spot this a mile away.

Next thing you know, architectures will require an active internet handshake just to execute a basic grep command because bare-metal execution hurts shareholder value. Leave my local swap space alone, Sam. You fricking non engineering clown.
