"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Is this guy mentally ill or something or has too much money and publicity gone to his head? Saying people don't need RAM in computers? I mean, if he's got a better and cheaper solution, then bring it to the world stage - maybe it could actually benefit humanity, who knows. But if you don't stop spewing nonsense just for publicity, media attention, and a stock market boost...
Money can't buy brain cells, so you don't need to worry about losing any.
And
Water is wet, so you don't need to drink it.
He's hinting at owning nothing and subscribing to cloud streaming.
"Hey, we got all the hardware. Pay us exorbitant fees and we'll do all the heavy lifting for you."
"you want your computer to do something? tell us, our computer will do it, and then you can pay us in addition to paying for your computer"
also you can't use your computer for anything we don't want you to use it for.
"and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt."
It’s about endgame, which holds so much real estate in his head it likely did not occur to him to say anything but the truth on this.
You will own nothing and like it.
Basically, you spend more earnings on yet another monthly payment to have these assholes do your heavy computing tasks for you. More wealth siphon from poor to rich. More monitoring, less privacy. And most of all, remove the possibility of your own home bred AIs on your machines.
End game with data centers is to end home computing.
He has been a Silicon Valley chud since long before chat gpt, he just has no real tether to the real world
When people talk with their social and work groups in certain ways that will carry over into how they talk to others. This is likely a common discussion he has with his life associations.
No home computer RAM is likely so basic a thought for him at this point that it didn’t occur to him how off putting speaking this idea would be to the masses while he sat in the interview. After he may have thought oops.
This is end game, spoken aloud. They do tend to tell us their intentions for our future.
Like all super-rich Epstein-class fuckers, Altman doesn't realize that the days of impunity will soon come to an screeching end and the pitchforks are coming. He's gotten used to get everything he wants, and people's RAM is something he wants that he doesn't have yet.
