Altman Renames X Profile to 'Ram Altman' Amid DRAM Backlash

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 podcast remarks that scarce DRAM (dynamic random-access memory, the working memory in computers) sitting in consumers' computers is "quite terrible." Altman says he was taken out of context and wants more memory produced.
