    So we’d own a basic terminal, and pay a subscription for our computing needs.

    Gosh, who’d’a thunkit? Never saw that one coming.

      “In this supply-constrained environment, efficiency of centralized control only makes sense!”

      “For whom? Also, why is the supply constrained in the first place?”

      “Well, we used hype from central bank-level investors to lend us enough to buy up all the supply. We have sooo much debt that we need every penny of efficiency we can get.”

    Nope. We’re slamming out our software, canceling our accounts, and running things ourselves. Requires a lot less electricity and works faster. Efficiency is king in business. You sir, are inefficient and no one enjoys giving you their money.

    This idiot never learned the golden rule: everybody is using everybody. Even him. It’s within the customers right to do this themselves. Don’t play the game if you can’t handle the rules.

      Most people don’t understand just how little compute they actually need to run their lives, a few basic self hosted apps on a 10+ year old laptop sitting in your closet can replace at least 85% of your dependency on big tech. You get a better experience, and your data doesn’t ever leave your house.

    I just read an article yesterday about a young woman who passed away after following the advice of an AI to stop taking her medication. I simply don’t understand why these capitalists are always so intent on monopolizing the market and controlling people. Are they truly so foolish that they always assume they’re right about everything—as if they were omnipotent?

      Power and money. They’re real life super villains. It’s why most people run for politics or become cops. Some want to make the world better, most just want to control others because they’ve lacked any kind of control at home or through their lives.

      Yes, they assume because they have money they are doing everything right and must be the smartest people around. Even average people equate money with intelligence for some reason. It’s insane because the majority of people with lots of money inherited it. It’s almost impossible to become rich using just intelligence and hard work though. You always have to exploit people and be unethical in some way

    I mean I was waiting to see how shitty the apple tv neuromancer adaptation would be next year, but at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up pushing random Timmys into becoming techies and netrunners. Life imitates art I guess.

    So is he gonna redistribute his wealth? Cause ya know? Wealth hoarding is terrible and the people hoarding wealth (Sam Altman) should have to redistribute their wealth because that money could be better used to serve the people, right? In fact all billionaires and trillionaires should be engaging in wealth redistribution, right?

    If we’re gonna agree from a general consensus agreement POV why not make him give us his money because I mean if people owning computers is hurting the worldwide Ai industry, then clearly the wealth hoarding hurting the global economy can be solved simply by someone telling others to engage in redistribution, right?

    I’ll reinstate my previous comment. Crackhead Altman fuck himself with a 12"er.

    Here’s my thought and in mimicking an Ai overview for fun: I think that guy needs a comprehensive psychological evaluation. He might think he’s okay but he needs to find a health professional for his constant delusions of grandor. I recommend CBT or Thorazine.
