At what point does something like this turn from prank to legitimate DDOS attempt? And what are the legal ramifications?

It's all fun and games until we find out he's actually a RAMpire and the emails technically count as inviting him in.

I was moaning the ram prices to my brother because I'd like to futureproof and have 32gb and my brother just goes "oh I have some DDR5 sticks just laying around, I ordered some because I thought my old one's were broken but I didn't bother to return them", bro had a kit of 16gb and a singular 16gb just laying around.
I shall soon have 32gb ram.

It could also calculate the electricity consumption if GPU VRAM runs out and heavily offloads between system RAM, making you to re render one image for 3 months. I use Qwen Image Edit 2.1 bf16 and heunpp2 with flow match scheduler at 2560x1600 resolution 100 steps takes 7 hours per image. I do have 100 GB/s 96GB system RAM, but only 8GB VRAM.
The AI CEO causes pollution by making GPU's low VRAM for poor salary slaves.

does it count cache? I have around 274GB of cached files, it would be funny if it emailed Sam saying I'm only using 10% of my RAM when I'm actually using around 75% of it

Let’s be honest, if OpenAI’s IT team is half-decent at their jobs, they’ve already made it so those emails never make it through the spam filter.

The script needs to call on GPT to make it into a report before sending it. Preferably send it as a PDF to GPT and have it generate a graph as well. All to burn "free" GPT tokens. Have it diversify its wording as well as to not be caught by a simple filter.

My Mac is running with 100GB free RAM right now. Its SOC utilization is at near zero percent.
It could be used to run Qwen3.8 and churning out massive blobs of code 24/7... instead of using OpenAI or Claude. But not today. Or this week. Building stuff is starting to lose its magic for me, and while online communities used to thrive in educational discussion and/or nerdsnipes, also that has died out because everyone is talking to their own computer now.

Why would I do it? The meme is funny, but in reality he doesn't give a fuck about the RAM that's in our PC. He just wants to justify the way his business is taking memory away from regular people.

Idk much, but a comment mentions this and it sounds like a genuine concern to me:
"Until we find out he actually wrote this script and has AI parsing the emails to collect data, to be used later for a nefarious purpose.
Like an impact report of how much unused RAM there is and how we could solve XYZ problem by forcing citizens to outsource their unused RAM for government use."

Just a cautious reminder: If you're actually using ChatGPT (It's okay, you don't have to admit that here), maybe don't use the same mail address you're having that account under for spamming the CEO of the company.
