Monitors your RAM and reports any "quite terrible" unused capacity directly to the CEO of OpenAI.

Ram-Altman is a satirical bash script that reads your Linux machine's memory usage and, if more than 10% of RAM is available, emails a daily report to Sam Altman about 'hoarded' RAM. It's a parody of the OpenAI CEO's claim that personal computers waste the world's DRAM supply, with real stats from /proc/meminfo, CSV logging, and rotating joke email templates.

Why now: It's trending as a humorous response to Sam Altman's recent comments that home computers' DRAM is 'quite terrible' globally allocated and used only ~5% of the time, amid a RAM shortage.

Who it is for: Linux users and sysadmins who enjoy tech satire and want to mock AI-industry hot takes about resource usage.
