So now that people are boycotting Open AI over their partnership with the US Department of Defense, will that extend to these corporations who are enabling Open AI and their bad policies?
We could build hundreds of thousands of homes for families that need them, but it goes to stealing water, power, and land instead.
Fuck those homeless/hungry/sick people I guess.
I hope altman fell into unreasonable unending depression.
With that much money? Doubt it.
(And no, before you get all preachy, Sam won’t end up poor, just the plebs)
I just upgraded my laptop’s ram so I hope that is the last I’ll need for a few years.
It’ll be gone in 3 months and they’ll be asking big daddy gubbment for a handout
I hope that dude chokes on his own puke and dies.
If a RAM stick or my GPU fails in my computer, I’m ruined financially.
I had 32GB ranked ram and one stick failed. I now have 16GB now.
This confirms me that anyone with a cute anime avatar is a huge weirdo. It doesn’t even look like him.
This is absolutely insane to me. AI is destroying society.
Now is the time to stand by your principles. And if you don’t have principles, maybe raise some. Become anti-consumption and remove yourself from capitalism, as much as possible. Hate those people. You should hate them as much as possible.
It sucks too, because the power for pattern recognition and identification behind Machine Learning is incredible, and if we were being more responsible with it, we could be using it only for truly valuable purposes like early cancer detection, assistant tools, proofreading etc, instead of training it to plagiarise other people’s work and kill people somewhere.
They want to destroy society, and build a new one in its place. Preferably one, that comes without this pesky feature called “empathy”.
Fuck 110 billion… These people have way too much money to burn. Literally throwing money away for some shit tech that so far hasn’t produced any returns and probably never will.
Yeah seriously, $Billions and $Trillions are too common in the media to have the impact they should have.
This one headline is discussing an investment of $110,000 MILLION Dollars. That’s enough to let an entire football stadium (either US version or everybody else version) of people retire tomorrow.
40 years of 100,000 people working $15 an hour would just barely make that much. Before taxes. And unpaid sick time. Of course. Sorry to be US-centric but we seem to be leading the way in this whole Road To Dystopia thing.
Sam Altman is a money launderer. he’s just holding the money so everyone else can say they don’t have money
I’m not sure this is money laundering (that would imply there’s a bunch of dirty money to get clean). But it is a scheme for sure.
Most of that cash is going to be spent, either directly or indirectly, on hardware from nVidia and now I bet they’re going to use a bunch of cloud services from Amazon too.
Just inflating stock prices all round because for its investment in OpenAI, nVidia probably gets to own part of OpenAI + also one of the biggest end customers for their data center GPUs has more money to either build data centers or rent from existing providers.
I use my computer so seldomly that I honestly don’t care. When it dies I won’t be replacing it at all. The Internet quit being fun and interesting a decade ago and my smart phone is a time suck that makes it too easy not to practice music and only brings news that spoils my mood. I genuinely miss the all analog life. Thanks for reminding me. I’m going to go say hi to a stringed instrument now.
my smart phone is a time suck that makes it too easy not to practice music
I felt this on a personal and professional level
So this should satisfy Sam Altman’s hunger for a week?
Even micro SD cards have got crazy expensive.
I think some CEOs are starting to slowly realise how unpopular AI is with the public. But at this point their sink costs are astronomical.
RAM, like fines for breaking the law, is only for the rich elites.
