sam altman working hard on becoming the most hated human of the month.
This point I feel like the grim reaper owes us a few dead billionaires after been a dick all year.
I think we need to be the change we want in this world.
If only these words of wisdom were taught to all the little children.
AI seemed kinda cool… 5 years ago… 😂
can outlets please stop echoing every stupid thing this man says? we all know he is lying (including him) he is just pushing a very specific narrative. covering him just helps him spread his AI gospel
Sam Altman probably owns the media
Open AI is mostly owned by Microsoft, who owns NBC. He’s paid by the people who own the media.
Well his rich friends do at least
I wouldn’t say they are friend, just business partners (i.e. cult co-members)
Oh, the morons are definitely worshipping AI.
My brain-dead neighbor who said he would ask chatgpt when garbage day was after I told him what day it was and then pointed at a sign the city zip-tied to the parking sign 15 feet from where we were standing at our front door that said what day it was. That kid definitely worships AI.
I will say, as an old and fat and gay millennial, Gen Z actually does make me optimistic with this trend I noticed of a lot of them rejecting newer tech and going more analog.
I even know a few who tossed out their smartphones for dumbphones and some of my other Gen Z friends asked me for help on how to burn CDs.
I dunno, with how bad things are these days, this is something that gives me hope.
Millennials need to stick with supporting Gen-Z. I feel like as people start inheriting money, or choosing to use destructive tech like AI, the media is going to get better and better at dividing Millennials. Elder Millennials are most at risk of splitting off.
I don’t want us to get to a point where Gen Alpha hates Millennials. Millennials are very good at rejecting media programming and trying to break systemic cycles, hopefully that’s our thing, and the next generations can steer the ship somewhere better than boomers did.
CDs are digital storage - source: every CD player from the 80s through the 90s proudly displayed a “digital” decal on its body.
There was a rare CD-V format that played analog video if played on a LD player, and played as a CD in a CD player. I had a David Bowie single with its video on such a disc, long gone.
every photo of his face I see is somehow even more punchable than the previous photo of his face I saw
I mean something that was cool 5 years ago is still better than something that’s not cool now right?
By posting this type of shit you are building his platform and legitimizing his opinion.
You are an enabler of one of the most privileged, selfish, and arrogant pieces of shit alive.
Stop.
This goes for OP and Futurism.
People like Altman live by the saying “No press is bad press”, by both ways you can interpret it:
- There’s no such thing as bad press; and
- Not being in the press is bad.
Even if ragebait/engagement-bait. In the end it only legitimizes him.
And I get that by responding I’m also engaging, but I see this type of comment as more of an “investment” than an “engagement”.
Stop posting things CEOs say they are pathological liars.
Fuck Sam Altmam
“You need to understand that Sam [Altman] can never be trusted.” “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”
-Aaron Swartz
I’m surprised that Altman was relevant enough to comment on when Swartz was still alive
Altman was at ycombinator along with Aaron
Saying “you don’t need your own RAM” is the “let them eat cake” of this generation
“You need to understand that Sam [Altman] can never be trusted.” “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”
-Aaron Swartz
He actually said that?
He didn’t actually say that, He said that it was terrible for people to have their own dram barely being used most of the time when supply is limited and that having ram in data center better distributes ram resources through the cloud.
This is still bad because he’s basically saying people should be forced to use their service but a lot of people have been misquoting him
That fucker should go strip it out of the warehouses full of old corporate workstations then.
Agreed
It’s not a misquote, it’s an obvious implication of his statement.
Sure its an implication of his statement but the second you add quotation marks you are quoting making this a misquote which directly changes what he said. For instance if I had put my initial response in quotations I would have also been misquoting
But we could share in communities. We can do it locally. I can say to my neighbor, “Hey, my GPU is cold half the time, do you want to set up a shared host to split the load?” It’s still a solution, but it’s bottom-up. Yes, it would be more work, and a little less convenient. But the idea that only private corporations have the solution to this is not realistic. It’s a question of priorities.
It’s not a misquote, it’s an obvious implication of his statement.
How is this a rebuttal? It sounds like he definitely said what people claim he said. The only issue here is putting a paraphrased statement in quotes, but I can forgive that since the message didn’t change.
Its not a rebuttal I just think misquoting is potentially dangerous.
Well, I don’t like it when people sanewash billionaire greed, and you defended his logic around “utilization” as if it were a good point.
I’m not sanewashing greed, I’m saying it how it is and specific stated why I didn’t like it. Its greedy and I never justified it
Yeah because whatever people like you get their grubby little hands on, it instantly gets enshittified.
Somewhere in the forest there exists a tree planted just to replace the oxygen Sam Altman wastes. He should find it and apologize.
There was a tree. It was cut down to make way for a data center.
The colony of phytoplankton in the Atlantic Ocean too
Thiel has his voodoo doll.
