"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.

He doesn't pay himself ... on a technicality. Rich folk in general don't spend money like you or I do. They don't even actually have money like you or I do. They're leveraged to the hilt using their stock shares to finance loans and then live off the loans. (This is a tax evasion thing.) So he can claim he's not taking a salary or being paid even while spending a million dollars a day.

And once they have this much "fuck you" money lying around for free, they don't care about money. It would be like you caring about air. It's just ... there.

Only because we've not yet poisoned it to the point where breathable air becomes the most obscene pay-to-live feature.

Don't worry. They're working on it.
