Sam Altman wants your RAM
Sam Altman drawing breath is wasteful
Aside from tech billionaire being an asshole ……
Let me play devils advocate a bit here. Consider a voice assistant device. They’re cheap thing, basically only a microphone and network card, with minimal compute and memory, yet leverage cloud resources to do far more than such a cheap device could by itself.
Of course the real reason is he wants to hoard all the memory plus monetize your activities and track your every thought, but the point remains that voice assistandt devices can do far more with cloud than they could on their own
Because they’re explicitly deaigned to work that way.
I could install a voice assistant on my PC and have it do everything that the device with the cloud can do (except for steal and sell my data, charge me a monthly subscription fee, spy on me, etc.)
Having it be a standalone device is completely pointless (unless you value having your privacy violated) for the consumer, it only benefits the manufacturer and the service provider (and the databrokers they deal with).
It leverages resources to do nothing these ones want, though.
It shouldn’t run on my power grid it should run on the states power grid? how the fåk is that any diffferent. He is either dumb as a door or lying to those that are.
Billionaire calls regular people wasteful.
He’s made statement that data centers are cheap to run, compared to human workers, because humans cost 18 years feeding and teaching them.
So he was saying AI can use some electilricity and give same answer as a human, but the humans coat more. People were like, wow, yeah right, he’s amazing.
Um how much did the data center cost to setup? LLM training, workers to clear the land, resource mining, all the labour to manufacture the resources unto data center infrastructure. Food resources to feed the builders, architects, labourers etc. etc. He glossed over that part.
For a long time now, silicon Valley has wanted people to only have thin clients just powerful enough to access their cloud services. AI and datacenter build out is the closest they’ve been to realizing this dream, so of course Altman is going to have this view.
And to that I say go to hell
You know what, let’s try turning Altman into RAM. Surely that would be a better use of his Carbon and Silicon than his body, right? Surely he won’t mind becoming part of a datacenter, right?
RIGHT???
Why doesn’t he refine his models so they are not as ram hungry?
He probably doesn’t even need the many billions in his account right now, I, on the other hand, could really use them…
You know what? Fuck you. PC builders have been doing it before you so fuck off.
Also, without our interfaces to the web and our tools, why would we fucking use your cuck coding service?
Said CEO of a company from USA that started wars and killed kids. Fuck USA, fuck their AI companies, fuck them and stop using their products.
Who’s driving Altman’s car and sleeping in Altman’s bed when he’s at a meeting? Maybe solve the parked-car and empty-building problems first.
So when they said that they want to make intelligence like a utility, what they really meant is that they are going to relentlessly fuck up Google search and every other search engine until it is absolutely useless and just covered with ads so that they can pay all people into using their trademarked AI search engine of choice.
You’ll own nothing and be happy.
