Ram Adan meme: what it means and where it came from
What does the Ram Adan meme mean?
A captioned photo joke that spells "Ram Adan" instead of Ramadan. It shows OpenAI CEO Sam Altman standing between two men in traditional Gulf dress, with the caption claiming that is his face after hearing about "RAM." The punchline is a pun linking the Muslim holy month's name to computer memory, riding the wider wave of Altman / DRAM scarcity jokes.
