Linus Sebastian compresses his RAM-heavy AI build into a Short

The quick workstation tour has drawn roughly 550,000 views, while viewers nominate rather less demanding uses for all that memory.

My F-You To Sam Altman

Linus Sebastian has turned his elaborate local-AI workstation into a rapid hardware tour, with room for a colleague to suggest that two graphics cards still aren't enough.

The new Linus Tech Tips Short, "My F-You To Sam Altman", revisits the build we covered earlier, rather than unveiling another machine. It has collected roughly 550,000 views in its first 17 hours.

Linus opens by describing remarks he attributes to Altman about finite DRAM supplies sitting in personal computers. His response is hardware: a Xeon processor, a workstation motherboard, banks of memory and two RTX 5090 graphics cards, assembled to run AI locally. The longer video's description frames that approach as an alternative to cloud subscriptions, downtime and privacy concerns.

Viewers supply a smaller-scale punchline, joking about dedicating their own generous RAM allocations to Roller Coaster Tycoon, Minesweeper or simply watching this video.
