“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

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
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.
Why are this dipsticks quotes constantly being posted? Every title with his name should be “pedophile sam altman”. He raped a two year old.
I’m gen-x and trying to think of what was cool 5 years ago. 2021. So middle of the pandemic. I guess wearing funky masks, working from home, socially isolating? Aw shit, I miss those things too.
I quit smoking pot five years ago. Altman’s not wrong re: me.
Pre-metaverse VR too! Now that’s actual exciting technology.

Sam is so cool.
Brother we like old shit cause new shit doesn’t work.
I must be off my game today. A headline started with “Sam Altman Says” and I accidentally read the whole headline.
Oo wee that’s a sick burn lol.
Soooo AGI, when?
How big asshole he is ? Guy thinks that he can say same things over and over and people won’t get sick of it. The product he sells is not work tool, it’s pop culture. The problem with pop culture is that it shifts to something else every 5-7 years.
So RIP AI because time is ticking. Their product if it have not attracted enough people to survive will vanish in the next 1-3 years. Deal with it.
Cool things don’t have an expiration date. That’s a depressing as fuck way to look at life.
Actually what young people want is the connection between their struggle and their achievement. It’s mentioned in Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers”.
So, that kind of products seems to not be very tall in that regard.
Could you elaborate on this please
If you mean the book, then the moment when Dubois talks about Johnny’s sports award. If you mean AI bots, then the part where the user doesn’t do most of the work. That’s not necessarily a problem, say, while for bodybuilders doing physical work required to get somewhere is important, for house builders that’s not quite so and power tools are not considered something dishonest. But most things generative AI is being used for are where some form of art and culture could coexist with useful practical outcomes.
It’s like people who, during conversations on niche interests, use Google so fast that they seem erudites. Like with Turing test, that might be good enough for others, but if they themselves are not interested enough and just relay things they hear to Google, what’s the point?
This guy is really enjoying the smell of his own farts now.
Somebody please Luigi this fascist cunt. I live in Europe so I can’t
I’m Gen X, but Gen Z right now is my fuckin’ hero. Every time I hear a story about young folks rejecting AI and taking critical thinking and creative writing classes, it casts a ray of hope.
