The humorous RAM Altman script, published on GitHub by developer Iain Kay, was inspired by Sam Altman’s comments about unused memory on personal computers. Every five minutes, it checks available RAM and can send Altman a daily email whenever utilization falls below 90 percent. The tool provides eight subject lines, ten messages, and six polite formulas, and requires Linux or the Windows Subsystem for Linux to run.

Its author urges users not to turn it into a mass email service that could amount to a denial-of-service attack.
