    Sam Altman lamented in an interview where he was asked about the RAM supply shortages (that he is partly responsible for) that it's terribly inefficient for "a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM" to be sitting in people's personal computers and suggested it would be much more efficient to centralize it all in (his) data centers where it would be more fully utilized (charged by usage at a rate that he sets, of course).

    That sounds like all the old west capitalists who thought that every drop of water in a river that reached the ocean, every acre of unspoiled forest, every inch of prairie that was untilled, every ore filled mountain that wasn’t dug up, any piece of beautiful landscape that had coal left under it was a waste. Every valley should be filled with smoke stacks, every animal that’s not in a stock yard should be shot. Screw the song birds, you should be able to hear a steam whistle from anywhere in the country.
