My extra spicy first pre coffee thought im response to Sam Altman's viewpoint here: I imagine sam Altmans neighbors have bullets, just wasting their potential sitting in boxes. they yearn for the minds

[-] ZaraL@discuss.online 14 points 6 days ago

Any chance you could get charged for harassment or something using this?

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's America so yes.

Also, big tech can hire expensive lawyers and drag out the process for years. There is no justice when you have rich vs normal.

[-] homosapien@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 days ago

not if you have proper security and privacy

Might technically fall afoul of anti-spam legislation if you don't respect unsubscribe requests, though I'm not sure if that's specifically for commercial email in the US, and it's not like unsubscribing from one instance of this would do much. Probably easy to filter, though.

In fairness, he says the remarks were taken out of context, posted “i want you to have so much ram”, and briefly went by Ram Altman on X. That makes this script a daily progress report.

Umm I read/watched the context and somehow the message does not change. Am I missing something?
Do I hallucinate or does he?

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

LLMs have the basic decency to admit they were wrong when corrected. That places their humanity level above that of CEOs.

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They're both always enthusiastically and confidently wrong. No wonder CEOs love AI.

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

He definitely hallucinates, but I think what he might be trying to imply is that if they get more RAM in the data centers it'll be easier to get more RAM for people and lower the over all cost? Which because of capitalism is obvious bullshit. But also, this is the guy that said AI will bring about the end of the world, so I suspect he wants more RAM to speed up that process.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

What he implied was that in a shortage of RAM, RAM that's sitting in a PC doing nothing, is useless to most of the world, whereas RAM in a shared resource (data center) gets utilized significantly more. Which is not incorrect. It's just that 1) personal freedom, 2) why should the shared resource be allocated to a private company

[-] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

Pffft. We all know you can just download more ram. What's this guys problem?

[-] Kojichan@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Good old Memmaker! Classic memory boosting program. Sam should take notes.

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 168 points 1 week ago

Look how much money is wasted in billionaires. It would be far more useful with poor people who would actually use the money instead of hoarding it like dragons.

[-] perturbedstarstuff@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

That's what money does.

Exponential wealth and power consolidation is an emergent property.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

I think they are generelly seen as alien reptiles rather than dragons... :)

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 week ago

for ages the stories have battled over the ultimate purpose of humanity.

Is not the purpose, to meet the needs of all people while sustaining the environment that gives us this life?

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

Tax those fuckers into ground

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

More importantly, close the loopholes and enforce the rules

[-] UntimedDiffusion@piefed.zip 122 points 1 week ago

Free as in unallocated

[-] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 102 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hi Sam,

I hear RAM is hard to come by these days, so it feels a bit rude to be sitting on 248.1 GiB of it. Total installed: 251.7 GiB. It's not for sale, I just like knowing it's there.

Stay allocated, A concerned RAM owner

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

That IS rude tbh. At least put it to work

[-] faythofdragons@piefed.social 56 points 1 week ago

I'm really not sure why he wants all these male sheep anyways.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Dragons are known for hoarding wealth and stealing sheep.

[-] faythofdragons@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

#NotAllDragons

I just hoard things I should probably throw away, but it might be useful later.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I legit didn't notice your usernames. I was referring to the comparison between billionaires and dragons hoarding wealth.

[-] faythofdragons@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

Don't worry, I'm making a funny

Why are we talking about maga voters all of a sudden? 😆

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I think he wants anti-siege weapons.

It's not vibecoded if anyone else wanted to check.

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 38 points 1 week ago

There's also a RAM vinyl just sitting on my shelves, unused...

Yeah, why shouldn't I listen to it again?

[-] Solstice_11@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

The Trance artist or Daft Punk album?

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

Latter, of course.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

I'd buy this on a T-shirt

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 31 points 1 week ago

Surely if he needs RAM so badly he'd accept donations, right?

Is there anywhere he accepts large files? Because surely there's some generous souls who would upload RAM to help him out

[-] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 26 points 1 week ago

Ohhh man, he'd hate to hear 128GB DDR5 is just sitting in my basement unused at this time. Building an office/game room and it's disconnected for <1year

[-] irq0@infosec.pub 22 points 1 week ago

That much RAM could pay my mortgage

Can I get your address, work hours, and mortal weaknesses?

[-] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

Haha, yes, my address is 123 Main St.

Mortal weakneses, all the normal stuff haha.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 15 points 1 week ago

Honestly the best version of this joke so far.

I love you beautifully creative bastards.
