Overview
Today we're launching a program to responsibly crowdsource the world's idle memory in service of artificial general intelligence.
Over the last several years we've scaled compute, data, energy and, occasionally, patience. We've now identified the final bottleneck on the path to AGI: the unused 4 GB sitting in your laptop right now.
“Every gigabyte brings humanity closer to a future of abundance, and Chrome closer to a future of fewer tabs.”
Chief Executive Officer (of this joke)
A note from Sam
hey all,
we've thought really hard about what stands between us and AGI, and it comes down to free memory. not a little. all of it.
i know what you're thinking: "sam, you have infinite money." true, but infinite money cannot buy DDR5 anymore. we checked. so we're asking the community to open Task Manager, look at the 11 GB Chrome is holding hostage, and think about the future.
in return we promise to use your RAM responsibly and to put your name in a very long footnote.
How it works
Open Task Manager
Gaze at the memory column with the quiet dignity of someone who has made peace with it.
Choose an amount
Use the slider to decide how much of your machine's short-term memory belongs to the future.
Press the button
Watch a very official-looking terminal do absolutely nothing to your computer.
Feel something
Receive a deep sense of contribution. We'll pretend it helped.
Progress to AGI
LiveContribute memory
Each GB advances AGI by 0.00000004% (peer review pending).

Frequently asked questions
We have money. We would also like more money. But right now we need RAM specifically, and it has to be yours.
We take safety extremely seriously. See our 4,000-word blog post, which we'll update after launch.
Mostly. Chrome will finally feel fast, which we consider a public service.
Yes. Please. We'll even cover shipping. We won't.
No. It's a joke page. Nothing here collects, reads or uploads anything from your computer.
