Fuck AI

"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.

The tech billionaire argued that “from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer. And be used 5% of the time.” While OpenAI is allowed to buy up 40% of the global DRAM output, Altman believes the 32GB of RAM sitting in your computer is tantamount to public greed.

“You want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you’re trying to deal with this very constrained environment,” the AI billionaire continued. “And somehow everyone’s, many people’s intuition is the opposite of that.”

This has to be satire. It’s like supervillain level of writing.

Also, I am pretty sure that all that RAM in graphics cards in storage and unpowered data centres is having a usage rate of 0%, which is, ... looking at notes .... less than 5%.

Oh, so RAM should be distributed evenly among all the people instead of few people hoarding it? I wonder what else we could distribute evenly.
