That is what he meant when he said he envisions a future in which big tech is the owner of a tap that distributes skill and information to the rest of the world. This man is a walking crime against humanity.
He’d probably call people having money in their savings account wasteful since it isn’t in his account.
My home ram is idle a lot, it’s true. But AI datacenter ram is being wasted 100% of the time.
This reminds me of a section from a favorite book of mine:
The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as “Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With.” The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as “a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes,” with a footnote to the effect that the editors would welcome applications from anyone interested in taking over the post of robotics correspondent. Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as “a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker’s Guide, #1)
Sam Altman is a mindless jerk who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. He’ll be right after Elon.
Fuck Sam Altman
And I just read that Amazon will cancel any order for computer parts and in some cases closing your account.
Ya know its funny several people basically made his argument to me here on lemmy when I asked folks about self hosting their own LLMs
They’re going to try to make non-cloud computers illegal in the next decade. Count on it.
They will say that it’s to protect the children.
I agree. I have more to say, but not right now.
Keeping Sam Altman alive is wasteful.
tHIEL controls altman through voodoo puppetry, and being the anti-christ just corrupts him from the inside.
Come take it, you rapist weirdo piece of shit.
who is associated with thiel an Epstein/rapist associate with trumpa nd ghislaine.
“Sam Altman props up chip makers by trying to spin their pivot away from consumer electronics as a net positive, more at 11.”
He’s doing what they’re all doing. Trying to use spin and headlines to prop up a dying industry to keep the bubble from popping. Get the pitchforks.
Sam Altman drawing breath is wasteful
Like it or not, I perceive this to be the future; shitty/scary times ahead for us all in these new hardware-scarcity times.
Or we all get a bunch of discounts when they have production infrastructure for a bunch of data center AI horseshit nobody wants any longer, driving up the supply of desktop/laptop RAM chips.
Doesn’t hurt to dream and hope a little during these dark times.
They will burn it all down and destroy countless bits of precious metal and other expensive material at a high cost before they sell them to us.
IDK man, but I think our best-case scenario so far will be HBM graphics cards returning for a while, not the flood of cheap hardware.
I’m really sorry, too used to dealing with shitheads on Reddit that only want to offend with passive-aggressive responses, I’m only a recent addition to the Lemmy-sphere, please forgive.
I misunderstood your tone; it’s sad that one should have to “hope” for such a thing now!

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 cost 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.
