already been debunked on the NEOGAF forums folks....good news for everyone. the scoop is that this is info from current PS4 dev kits, which have bloated OS sizes thanks to developer tools. they also only have the standard 8gb of ram due to them not being finalized dev kits, when dev kits generally provide larger ram sizes to accomidate for the bloated dev tools.

TLDR, this rumor is false. confirmed by sony insider. check NEOGAF forums.

If you make claims like your title you ALWAYS provide a link for proof or something to back up what you said. 

People ain't got time to go searching somewhere else

Umm no it hasn't. There was a post about a developer not connected to Sony speculating that this could be the case. Not even close to insider info, not an insider and not claiming insider knowledge, just second hand speculation.

based on info from killzone devs and the amount of ram that was being used on earlier dev kits... people are saying .5-1gig will be reserved for the OS. shadow fall was using between 3 and 3.5 gigs of memory on initial dev kits, and they had 4gb of ram originally. assuming things have ballooned a bit, expect the OS to reserve around 1gig.

Still waiting to see a link from Sony debunking this. No one seems to have one however. NEOGAF can't debunk anything. They are the ones who spread 1/2 the false rumors we've seen.

NeoGAF insiders provide nice insights worth noting, but they do not debunk it. An official statement or a dev going on the record will. I'm inclined to believe the OS isn't really 3.5 Gigs, but we shall see.
