At this point I think CEOs are just trying to rage bait us

Personally, I think it's quite terrible that Sam Altman isn't currently experiencing testicular torsion.

Owning shovels is bad says shovel renting company.

He can rent ram from me if he thinks it's so terrible, it's the best option for those who need compute after all. I'll rent a VM with 16GB of RAM to him for let's say $1000 a month. Go ahead Sam, it's the best utilization after all. For $5,000 a month you can have a part time "spot" instance with a GPU.

Oh but I don't work like Nvidia, Sam, you get the same terms we do with subscriptions. You miss one payment, one payment doesn't clear, you're cut off.

That sounds about fair for how us consumers have been treated.

It’s quite terrible for Sam Altman to have a head, and yet.

I have a combined somewhere around 512GiB DRAM. I am glad to know it pisses Altmann Off.

To answers the obvious: Homelab.

It's quite terrible for AI CEOs to keep breathing

Thankfully, OpenAI will barely survive 2026, and will die n 2027. We shouldn't have to hear too much more about him.

Big talk for someone who can't get the funding for their insane spending anymore.

i think it's quite terrible that so much oxygen is wasted on these mf'ers.

From a global allocation perspective, actually, it's quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used 5% of the time," Altman said. "You want maximum utilization in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment. And somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that.

Sounds like Sammy sees what way the winds are blowing, and is scared

Models are getting a lot more efficient, and the billion dollar models are going to have to compete with something basically free to run

Quite terrible to have all that wealth in the hands of so few. We should distribute that more evenly to raise the quality of living for more.

Next he'll be paying off politicians to make it legal for police to come to your door and seize your RAM for 'national security'. There'll be a huge right wing media campaign, funded by the taxpayer, under the heading 'The War Against Home RAM'. People who own their own computers will be labelled 'terrorists'.

Keeping the AI bubble alive requires infinite compute resources for the hyperscalers

Sam Altman should be hung upside down and forced to subsidize hardware prices for everybody to offset the damage he's caused.

What a dumbass. CEO does not require intelligence.

I took all the ram out of my computer and now it won't turn on. How do i get to ai now?

Fuckin moron.

"These resources make me money, so only I should have them". This is like clowning on people for owning their music instead of streaming it, or growing their food instead of going to a super Walmart.

“Do you really need two kidneys?”

Get fucked, Sam!

Fuckin give up your ram to your new god

Fuck that guy

How bout we ram his dumb head up his dumb ass?

What really needs ram is his front door.

So, so many fewer people agree with him that with the rest of us.

It's quite terrible we're slipping into a technocracy because building my own PC is becoming cost prohibitive for the first time since the fucking 60s.

What's terrible is that the tech industry is constantly engineering for planned failure. Nothing ever just lasts the way it should. People literally think it makes sense to buy a new phone every 2 years when that's actually bat shit crazy. There isn't any RGB, folding ass gimmick that takes away from that fact. They make it an issue because they can't just come out with what will essentially be peak for modern PC. Capitalism ruins everything.

If I used ai, I would need a device that has ram in it to do so. I can't just yell at the clouds.

This reminds me of the work being done on grid and distributed computing up to the mid-2000s.

The idea is that your computer does your work but it can also do the work of others, assuming the work can be divided up into small chunks.

And it’s not limited to processing tasks! There are grid computer implementations that distribute storage across fleets of machines to improve redundancy, reduce the need for centralised file servers, etc.

But it was always intended to be implemented at the organisation level (work, school, uni). At home you’d be unlikely to need it, but you could always opt in.

I think the main survivors from this era are distributed computing programs (Folding@Home, crypto mining malware, etc.)
