This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Well ofcourse first step to this is to cultivate an environment where most people lose their skills or don't train them at all. So I bet each time someone uses AI for exams they have a little orgasm.
Don't get me wrong, I am open to the idea of AI tools as productivity enhancers, especially local models with open weights. But the OP puts what these tech bros want more aptly then I ever could, they want to monopolize on intelligence and skills.
Every motherfucker who went “what am I ever gonna USE this for?!” in computer classes in school are the same ones who like this magic man’s funny words and “save so much time writing emails” and say shit like “Yeah but what are we gonna do? That’s progress!”
I have lost respect for so many people.
Great. Sabotage the collective intelligence of humanity so they can sell it back to us. Seems like either the bubble pops or we do.

Luckily, people who don't buy intelligence from him tend to have enough already.
Honestly my thoughts on how I'd actually use AI... versus OpenAI's are exactly the opposite. Honestly I could see a world where a lot of people get an on site LLM server. Plug it in etc... I could actually see that as useful, IE keep it air gapped, and then you can train it off of your e-mails, your house etc..., not trust everything to some outside company. From what I'm gathering from the chinese open source models that sounds very viable.
Of course the ultimate annoyance is, the datacenter surge is actually taking compute out of regular price ranges.
Actually annoyingly makes me think of the point in time that electricity itself was at this crossroads, where eddison wanted every house to have a DC generator, while Tesla was pushing for AC transmission to send current from centralized locations

That's not going to happen no matter what. Open source models are already catching up to frontier proprietary models. Altman wishes he had a monopoly over that, but he doesn't. The bubble won't last, and things like OpenRouter will become the main way people use AI. Google alone is a major reason why intelligence will never be like a utility like electricity or water or internet.
I will not be buying intelligence from that weirdo lizard. Because I am unfortunately literate.
Back in the day...
Are you sure you have enough to spare Sam? Har har har.
I can't wait to lance the AI bubble like a doggone perineal abscess.
Lmao, Sam Altman wouldn't know what intelligence looked like even if it came up and punched him in the face.
While I don't begrudge them trying to make money from their service, the deleterious effect on people's lives, careers cannot be overlooked. I think it's obvious that most AI companies are incredibly unethical so governments need to impose the ethics onto them and companies tempted to use AI. They should never be considered as powerful as a utility nor invaluable. Never.
I do begrudge them. Their service was created through mass copyright infringement
Honestly, it’s rather remarkable how far up his own ass Altman is. In any other context, he’d be considered an expert contortionist.

There are plenty of people with solar panels and wells. The beauty of the internet and mobile compute is having the wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips. It's DIY, but easy. Just Google it (RIP Google). If the goal is centralization and control, chat with IBM. They have their place, but it was a slow crawl out of the muck they put themselves in. Someone will always come along and realize that ease and accessibility are key to the end user, and they'll kick your whole business out from under you, every time.
You'd have to have intelligence to sell first... you dollar store con man
