"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to sell intelligence like a utility

During a recent appearance at BlackRock in Washington, D.C., OpenAI's Sam Altman, shared his vision for the future of AI. At one point saying, “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Altman was describing a world where AI becomes a foundational infrastructure, something woven into everyday life so deeply that consumers and businesses simply “plug into” it the same way they rely on electricity, Wi-Fi or running water.

Like when we go to the library and we ask..hmmm I wonder what the derivative of this function is. The librarian then charges us a flat pointing rate and she points to the math section. We then walk over to the calculus book section. We open the book and look for derivatives. Then it starts charging us by the word...but it's very fast. You can even say the words to make it output sounds. With that you can then solve your math problem and go home. Next time you can purchase the same book or remember it. You can solve the next equation for free!
