Lol
My extra spicy first pre coffee thought im response to Sam Altman’s viewpoint here: I imagine sam Altmans neighbors have bullets, just wasting their potential sitting in boxes. they yearn for the minds
Look how much money is wasted in billionaires. It would be far more useful with poor people who would actually use the money instead of hoarding it like dragons.
That’s what money does.
Exponential wealth and power consolidation is an emergent property.
Free as in unallocated
Any chance you could get charged for harassment or something using this?
Might technically fall afoul of anti-spam legislation if you don’t respect unsubscribe requests, though I’m not sure if that’s specifically for commercial email in the US, and it’s not like unsubscribing from one instance of this would do much. Probably easy to filter, though.
I’d buy this on a T-shirt
It’s not vibecoded if anyone else wanted to check.
I’m really not sure why he wants all these male sheep anyways.
Dragons are known for hoarding wealth and stealing sheep.
#NotAllDragons
I just hoard things I should probably throw away, but it might be useful later.
I legit didn’t notice your usernames. I was referring to the comparison between billionaires and dragons hoarding wealth.
Don’t worry, I’m making a funny
Why are we talking about maga voters all of a sudden? 😆
I think he wants anti-siege weapons.
Because Quark’s brother won’t return his calls.
left on read-only :(
In fairness, he says the remarks were taken out of context, posted “i want you to have so much ram”, and briefly went by Ram Altman on X. That makes this script a daily progress report.
Umm I read/watched the context and somehow the message does not change. Am I missing something?
Do I hallucinate or does he?He definitely hallucinates, but I think what he might be trying to imply is that if they get more RAM in the data centers it’ll be easier to get more RAM for people and lower the over all cost? Which because of capitalism is obvious bullshit. But also, this is the guy that said AI will bring about the end of the world, so I suspect he wants more RAM to speed up that process.
What he implied was that in a shortage of RAM, RAM that’s sitting in a PC doing nothing, is useless to most of the world, whereas RAM in a shared resource (data center) gets utilized significantly more. Which is not incorrect. It’s just that 1) personal freedom, 2) why should the shared resource be allocated to a private company
LLMs have the basic decency to admit they were wrong when corrected. That places their humanity level above that of CEOs.
They’re both always enthusiastically and confidently wrong. No wonder CEOs love AI.
There’s also a RAM vinyl just sitting on my shelves, unused…
Yeah, why shouldn’t I listen to it again?
The Trance artist or Daft Punk album?
Latter, of course.
Ohhh man, he’d hate to hear 128GB DDR5 is just sitting in my basement unused at this time. Building an office/game room and it’s disconnected for <1year
Can I get your address, work hours, and mortal weaknesses?
Haha, yes, my address is 123 Main St.
Mortal weakneses, all the normal stuff haha.
That much RAM could pay my mortgage
sticks of RAM will be a currency stronger than the US dollar, just you see.
Funny thing that I sure choose when to buy brand new devices with significant RAM.
I’m going to need a machinegun nest, arent I?
Pffft. We all know you can just download more ram. What’s this guys problem?
Good old Memmaker! Classic memory boosting program. Sam should take notes.
Honestly the best version of this joke so far.
I love you beautifully creative bastards.
cute, and i love the sentiment, but unless it can actually waste sam altman’s money i’m not interested.
he has changed his user name on twitter to “ram altman”. he does not care about the jokes.
Ah yes, the cope by pretending to play along. Like PirateSoftware’s profile picture once being his own parody, which is a thing I also learned from others reporting on it as I don’t use Xitter.
Ram Altman? Oh I fucking would, with a steamroller.
I am new, so be gentle? But is any part of his sentiment correct? From a societal change and/or national security for AGI development perspective the more RAM/data centers the quicker he achieves these goals which in his mind will up end computing and the human relation to computing. While yes I want to game, program, and use my own internet machine the faster we reach the tipping point he has envisioned the sooner none of that will matter.
The question is whether that goal is achievable. And the reason he has been lambasted is because most folks who k ow what’s what, do not think it is nearly as easy or achievable as he does.
Sam Altman is a notorious liar, his job is to get the press to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt, but not in the usual way - aimed at competitors - but his own company. Because uuuh, big scary AI very powerful, very smart, very super, wouldn’t want to be left in the dust, buy now!
The RAM comment he made doesn’t actually help with that though, it just pissed people off because the AI hype has caused prices to shoot up and stay up. It’s the head of a private company sounding incredibly entitled and tone-deaf. So now he tries to backpedal, probably also because there’s real resistance to data center plans.
I think the hype bubble jumped the shark when he announced that he believes that we’re already in the age of AGI. We are so clearly not that you’d think that even the dumbest investor would start asking questions. Maybe they’ll notice that actual researchers are calling him out on his bullshit too. We are still in the “AI sends you to the gas station on foot because gas is expensive” era and won’t be leaving it with the current tech.
Why would society allow or help this psychopath achieve his stupid goals? I want a Disneyland in my backyard, that goal is achievable, I deserve everyone’s money.
AGI development
Aka science fiction.
i don’t think it’s worth making our present worse as it is now for a hypothetical future utopia, even if the chances were quite high (they’re not).
People and the environment are suffering now because of big tech’s incessant rush for an AI singularity, expensive ram is only a small thing on a huge pile of grievances.
