“Don’t think too hard. Give me all the money, all the GPUs, all the RAM. Or else, you risk angering all-powerful AI.” Everytime, I think I have failed in life, I just think about the tech-bros CEOs and I get a semblence of peace that I maybe a failure, but in the current tech world, this is what success is like, being in a cult, all mental faculties turned off.
It’s also a shame that he gets some of the air we all need, but here we are.
Holy fuck he’s already at Musk levels of delusional narcissism.
Honestly, he was always there, and more a pathological liar than musk is. Like musk lies when he thinks it’ll get him something, Altman just… lies about shit that is completely pointless. Like being a pro level ping pong player… despite having never played ping pong.

He might have something resembling a point if he were running a nonprofit.
Maybe if it was a publicly owned utility then sure. I wouldn’t even trust a non profit here.
Seize the RAM of production?
As Cory Doctorow says: we must seize the means of computation.

Internet CEO Me says its “terrible to have datacenters have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM” instead of shoving it all to everybody
Is this because he’s one of those techno cult weirdos that thinks it’s ethically wrong to do anything to impede ai progress because it’ll anger the future omnipotent/omniscient general ai entity we create and they’ll destroy us?
It’s probably just because “we want all the money, you shouldn’t have any”. But even if it’s the first thing it’s mighty convenient that that view benefits him financially
I don’t think Saltman has any moral beliefs that persist from one conversation to the next. He’s like an LLM himself in that way.
I think this argument would make more sense if data centers were nationalized. Not saying thats a good idea either, but the me vs you argument is much less powerful than me vs us.
But I want to use my RAM for stupid stuff society dislikes too. I’m just willing to pay the external cost for it.
Oh fuck you buddy
Makes sense. Everyone is only thinking about themselves while Sam sees the big picture, himself.
What’s everyones bets on the cult or business being more in charge of these statements?
Is it just “imagine how much money I’d make if I alone was allowed to own this?” or is there a little “Only the god we make in our data centers should exist.” too.
One of humanity’s biggest op either way
Out of curiosity, how does this tie into the whole “AI might destroy humanity” thing?
Easy.
He wants to destroy humanity before AI does.
