Sam Altman Renames Himself 'Ram Altman' on X

Sam Altman changed his X display name to "Ram Altman" on 4 November 2026, after an X user challenged him to. It follows backlash over his podcast remarks that scarce memory in people's computers, called DRAM (a computer's short-term workspace), is "quite terrible." Altman says he was taken out of context and wants more memory produced.
