And I just read that Amazon will cancel any order for computer parts and in some cases closing your account.

That is what he meant when he said he envisions a future in which big tech is the owner of a tap that distributes skill and information to the rest of the world. This man is a walking crime against humanity.

He'd probably call people having money in their savings account wasteful since it isn't in his account.

My home ram is idle a lot, it’s true. But AI datacenter ram is being wasted 100% of the time.

This reminds me of a section from a favorite book of mine:

The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as “Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With.” The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as “a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes,” with a footnote to the effect that the editors would welcome applications from anyone interested in taking over the post of robotics correspondent. Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as “a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide, #1)

Sam Altman is a mindless jerk who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. He'll be right after Elon.

Fuck Sam Altman

Ya know its funny several people basically made his argument to me here on lemmy when I asked folks about self hosting their own LLMs

They're going to try to make non-cloud computers illegal in the next decade. Count on it.

"Sam Altman props up chip makers by trying to spin their pivot away from consumer electronics as a net positive, more at 11."

He's doing what they're all doing. Trying to use spin and headlines to prop up a dying industry to keep the bubble from popping. Get the pitchforks.

Keeping Sam Altman alive is wasteful.

Come take it, you rapist weirdo piece of shit.

Like it or not, I perceive this to be the future; shitty/scary times ahead for us all in these new hardware-scarcity times.

Sam Altman drawing breath is wasteful

Billionaire calls regular people wasteful.

Altman should have to lease oxygen.

For a long time now, silicon Valley has wanted people to only have thin clients just powerful enough to access their cloud services. AI and datacenter build out is the closest they've been to realizing this dream, so of course Altman is going to have this view.

And to that I say go to hell

The damage to the planet from AI Data Centers is a net negative. They would have to totally reform society. Expand green spaces, and reverse climate change in order to be worth while.

They've only done the opposite. We should be rid of them, as they will never pay off as much as they need to.

They are a net debt on humanity.

'waahhhhhhwaawaaahhhh.. you're fucking up my payday'

I get his argument logically, but I wonder how many vacant bedrooms he owns. He should give them to my housing collective so they aren't sitting idle all the time.

Who's driving Altman's car and sleeping in Altman's bed when he's at a meeting? Maybe solve the parked-car and empty-building problems first.

This is just the typical capitalist/colonialist/expansionist playbook, and Altman is the kind of dude that would see absolutely no problem in actually, physically taking away the stuff from you. By letting your devices stand idle, you are being selfish and wasteful. He, on the other hand, wants us all to have access to his super awesome product.

Absolutely please donate your data centre level hardware to us. We will bless you with good health, not that you deserve but for a few nvidia h100s.

Sam Altman wants your RAM

You’ll own nothing and be happy.
