Reminder that Sam Altman’s sister has accused him of sexual assault and abuse.
“Intel inside” disgusting! It’s not supposed to be inside! It was never supposed to be inside!
“Let’s make them smaller and smaller every year, yet keep putting stuff inside” just horrible! Won’t someone think of the poor PCs?
his existence is aggressively annoying
Is it true that 80% of my job can be done with 20% of the RAM I have? Yes, absolutely. However, I also need to run Slack sometimes and do the other 20% of my job or I will not have a job for much longer. And I need 100% of the RAM to do 100% of the job, so Sammy-boy better learn to share a little, as I can’t rent out the RAM to other people logged into my machine at this time with the level of zero days getting published before being patched these days. I wonder who caused that whole situation. Well, it is probably not that important.
Probably 100% of my job could be done with 4% of the RAM if apps were coded by hand like they used to do on the Commodore Amiga by the way.
Ah, the classic case of “communists want to abolish private property, capitalists want to abolish personal property”.
Truke.
For any liberals or libertarians and what-have-you. I don’t like the feeling of taking porky’s stuff any more than you. But porky wanted to take my stuff first!
It is “quite terrible” for Sam Altman to have air in his lungs when it could be in the atmosphere.
This guy is reinventing from first principles the whole utopian centralized society industrialists early last century imagined and advocated. Only back then they were thinking houses and such were inefficient and giant towers of porcelain with mass transit for all the workers to and from their factories was the obvious future for efficiency.
Funnily you’ll never see a guy like this take this to its logical conclusion which is of course: destroy cars, destroy car infrastructure, build mass transit everywhere and build dense housing. Because that steps on the toes of other bourgeoisie including the big trans-atlantic financial ones.
From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible for everyone to have kitchens and cookware, instead of eating at the staff canteen
From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible for individuals to have bedrooms. They should just rent 6-hour timeslots at the capsule hotel
From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible for people to own clothes that are only used once per week. subscribe to UndrWr for a low monthly fee, and get daily, pre-worn briefs to your doorstep (return them after 24 hours)
trains? ew. i don’t want to share a vehicle with other people. every individual maneuvering their own giant steel death cage across countless kilometers of dedicated concrete infrastructure is the only way
We’re going to have communes that are also somehow hyper individualistic and alienated from community.
no first places, only second and third. and using the thirds cost most of the money you make from the second

I think it’s a great shame that this guy still has blood in his body.
I agree. From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible for Sam Altman to have blood in his body.
The humane thing to do is to send him to the bottom of the sea in the billionaire atomizing carbon fiber sub.
Unfortunately that sub sacrificed itself for the greater good
We can built it back, worse and weaker

” From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used 5% of the time," Altman said.
Communism is when you have to share your toothbrush
Dude hogs all the RAM in the world, hoards it in warehouses and says we gotta be more efficient with it.
As an aside I want to [redact] (aka debate in the marketplace of ideas) every one of these tech influencers. They just sit there and let these lizard people say the most asinine shit with no accountability. And there is so many of them.
Who only uses 5% of their ram?? Shits expensive, I make sure I have enough tabs open to use it all
He seems pretty scared of locally run AI. I always had a hunch that this will break the necks of all those AI corporations. If you can just have your own AI agent instead of being under the control of those tech bro freaks, then it’s only businesses and government institutions that are left as clients. Of course you need good enough hardware for that, but it’s just a matter of time until such hardware becomes affordable to the masses.
You can run it on a mid range gaming PC just fine these days. Which is why he’s terrified
Yeah, people don’t really get the point of the massive data centers. While they do need a decent chunk of infrastructure to run their models for customers, a large amount of it is just for training, data processing and collection, and other R&D tasks.
The models themselves, once trained, are much more reasonable in terms of computation.
it also means that once the model has been trained to the point of diminishing return the data center just becomes a pollution factory that does nothing
which to be fair is what they already were but this also may be where we are
More models! More training! Infinite growth!
When the bubble pops (or at the very least when all that data center hardware gets obsolete) GPU and RAM prices gonna TANK. I’m not a fan of AI, but by that point, local-run models will be extremely cost-effective.
Only reason AI companies are even slightly competitive on price currently is because supply hasn’t yet caught up to their mass cut-price purchases, plus the fact they’re subsidising price still on huge losses.
When the bubble pops (or at the very least when all that data center hardware gets obsolete) GPU and RAM prices gonna TANK.
There is a very high probability that the hardware companies will significantly reduce their production to keep the prices from falling.
I’m sure they will reduce their production, but unless they convince most datacentres to chuck their old hardware, I don’t think it’ll be close to enough to accommodate the flood of hardware to come.
We’ve already had a year of massive over-production, and rising still. Even better, Chinese companies have been increasingly entering the market and they don’t tend to stop for sheet.
Unless the bubble pops very soon, no amount of reducing production will stop an oversupply.
I don’t think that the datacenter hardware is going to the retail market instead of getting bought by the surveillance state as a form of bailout.
