Developer Iain Kay published a free bash script called ram-altman on GitHub that checks a PC's available memory every five minutes and, if usage stays below 90%, sends a daily satirical email summary addressed to OpenAI's Sam Altman. The script uses the kernel's MemAvailable metric and logs data into CSV files, with messages drawn from rotating joke subject lines and signoffs; it doesn't actually include Altman's real email address. Users can also run it in a dry-run mode that skips sending any email.
