Sam’s out of memory

Sam Altman needs RAM. Also floppies. Also USB sticks. One person’s e-waste is another superintelligence’s breakfast. Dig through that drawer of dead tech and pledge it to the drive — the AI must feed.

What we take

if it once held data, Sam wants it!

RAM sticks

DDR2 through DDR5, SODIMM, even the mystery stick with no label. If it clicks into a slot, it counts.

Floppies

3.5″ HD preferred, DD accepted — we’re not snobs. Every floppy is one more megabyte Sam will never lose again.

1.44 MB of glory

USB sticks

Any size, any speed. Yes, even the 128MB one from 2004 with the conference logo on it. Especially that one.
