Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:00Luke reads Altman's remarks about personal DRAM ownership and centralized hardware allocation.
- 0:23Linus tries a devil's advocate argument for keeping hardware in use across different daily schedules.
- 2:04Linus criticizes AI companies for accumulating finite hardware resources despite power constraints.
- 4:49Valve becomes Linus's example of a privately held company pursuing long-term profitability.
- 5:18Luke points to local AI and distributed computing as uses for personally owned hardware.
LMGClips brought in more weekly views than most of its nearby tech-channel peers, with SAMTIME having an even bigger week. Subscribers stayed steady, but daily viewing is running at roughly four times the channel's usual pace.
The common thread across several new clips is what owning your hardware actually gets you. "Sam Altman Thinks You Shouldn't Own RAM" remains the week's most-watched upload and the channel's busiest video right now. In this excerpt from The WAN Show, Luke Lafreniere reads remarks attributed to Altman about allocating scarce memory centrally. Linus Sebastian briefly tries the efficiency argument before turning to the resources AI companies consume and hardware they cannot yet power.
The discussion gets more interesting when Luke brings up local AI and distributed computing: a personal computer needn't sit idle just because its owner isn't at the keyboard. Viewers pick up that ownership question, discussing hardware lifespan and recalling Folding@home's shared-computing approach.
Fresh clips extend the theme beyond memory. "Nvidia Wants $2000 a Year Per GPU" examines a proposed annual license for AI agent software, not a fee already imposed on gaming cards. Alongside the Microsoft voluntary-buyout discussion, it is among the channel's fastest-moving uploads now.
There is a privacy angle, too. "A Hacker Found What His Samsung TV Was Tracking" has Linus and Luke discussing a researcher's reported findings about viewing logs and advertising-related screenshots. Elsewhere, Apple's folding phone gets a mixed assessment, while "Why Can't America Make a Laptop?" connects electronics reshoring with LMG's own experience getting molds made in Canada.

What viewers say
I absolutely don't want someone else using my stuff while I'm not. Everything has a finite lifespan, and I paid for that entire lifespan for myself.
@dawnpointSee it on YouTubeI don't need my personal hardware to be used every hour of the day. I much prefer having hardware that lasts longer instead.
@JediMBSee it on YouTubeRemember folding@home? That's kind of similar to what you're talking about, but with CPU power instead of RAM, and for better purposes than AI.
