If we didn't have RAM in our phones and PC's, how would we use the data centers?
It's almost as if Sam Altman is a moron.
Also a lot of the hardware for data centers is just laying around unused, because the data centers aren't even built.

It's also a shame that he gets some of the air we all need, but here we are.
"Don't think too hard. Give me all the money, all the GPUs, all the RAM. Or else, you risk angering all-powerful AI." Everytime, I think I have failed in life, I just think about the tech-bros CEOs and I get a semblence of peace that I maybe a failure, but in the current tech world, this is what success is like, being in a cult, all mental faculties turned off.
Holy fuck he's already at Musk levels of delusional narcissism.
Honestly, he was always there, and more a pathological liar than musk is. Like musk lies when he thinks it’ll get him something, Altman just… lies about shit that is completely pointless. Like being a pro level ping pong player… despite having never played ping pong.
Internet CEO Me says its "terrible to have datacenters have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM" instead of shoving it all to everybody
Is this because he's one of those techno cult weirdos that thinks it's ethically wrong to do anything to impede ai progress because it'll anger the future omnipotent/omniscient general ai entity we create and they'll destroy us?
It's probably just because "we want all the money, you shouldn't have any". But even if it's the first thing it's mighty convenient that that view benefits him financially
I think this argument would make more sense if data centers were nationalized. Not saying thats a good idea either, but the me vs you argument is much less powerful than me vs us.
He might have something resembling a point if he were running a nonprofit.
What's everyones bets on the cult or business being more in charge of these statements?
Is it just "imagine how much money I'd make if I alone was allowed to own this?" or is there a little "Only the god we make in our data centers should exist." too.
One of humanity's biggest op either way
Out of curiosity, how does this tie into the whole "AI might destroy humanity" thing?
Makes sense. Everyone is only thinking about themselves while Sam sees the big picture, himself.
