"Owning hardware is wasteful": Slop Altman wants your RAM in the cloud where it can be rented back to you.

    I can’t think of something that’s an absolute waste of computing resources: AI bullshit. Nobody really needs to waste computing resources, electricity, and water to have ChatGPT tell me that I asked the best question ever because I’m so insightful.

    AI is wasteful. Hell, he’s using up good oxygen, so he’s just as wasteful as his “product.”

    I get his argument logically, but I wonder how many vacant bedrooms he owns. He should give them to my housing collective so they aren’t sitting idle all the time.

    do we need to be running every last scrap of computer, full tilt and always? Doesn’t that make Jesus and Climate Jesus weep? my computer is doing soukseek stuff, and someone is currently downloading season one of Severance from it and I hope they enjoy it, it will bring them more pleasure than even kicking Sam Altman in the balls. why should I have to surrender my computer to this sad little man who is older than me by only three months? It’s my computer, I bought it, fuck him. my computer is full of turtle stickers, fucker isn’t getting my computer >:(

    Counterpoint: Amazon is buying billions in Nvidia AI systems it can’t yet turn on businessinsider.com/amazon-nvidia-ai-gpu-data-cen… Before turning to slower RAM, they collectively made VRAM&GPU a luxury by intentionally exhausting supply to everyone else, and leftover components they can’t (or haven’t even planned) to power on collects dust. There are like tens of ways to ridicule his argument, but I find this one more direct.

    Is this finally the manifestation of “you’ll own nothing and love it” or whatever it was? Someone did the same math as SETI in 1999, when they asked people to take idle compute to grind data. At what point does the free tier of ChatGPT grind data on your machine like some sort of bitcoin mining malware? Let’s extrapolate: Humans are 70% water - Buddy, at what point do to you start trying to dehydrate orphans to cool all the ram you want to harvest from average people?

    “Oh yeah, nice to have all usercontent in our cloud and above the money the user paid to us for it. Now we also can turn the user PC in a paperweight if he don’t pay us the monthly fe.” This asshole even abused sexualy his own sister since she was 3 years old and he 12.

    He’s right about this being inefficient but the reason we can’t have nice things here is that he is the most condensed essence of shit and we can’t trust him or any of his billionaire shitcock friends.

    That begs the question: what tool did dear Sam use to acquire his skills in the first place? Since at least one of his own computers certainly played a role in his career (and he couldn’t possibly have used it to its full capacity for decades) this attitude speaks volumes. Even though his own personal computing power helped him get to where he is now, he denies that same opportunity to everyone else. Fuck you, Sam.

    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
