“Rent-seeking psychopath desires all the rent”
Literally the mentality of the English land-owning gentry enclosing the ancient commons and driving people off the land into dependency on them. It was bullshit then, and it’s bullshit now.
It’s straight up kleptoparasite mentality.
It’s been the central mentality of the owning class since the ability to individually own the means of production was conceived.
They won’t care about rent-seeking without their brains. There’s a simple solution to these problems, we just have to do it. It’s easy and fun, so I hear. I’m willing to be the first, I’ll accept those dirty hands
It is the cyberfeudal lord’s wet dream. Can we skip the dark ages and go straight to the French Revolution?
Uhh that’s exactly what they want. The French revolution was just more rich assholes taking control. In this case it was the merchant class. The Techbro class definitely wants to take control. Also, the majority of people beheaded in the French revolution were commoners.
Digital Maoism Intensifies
Funny how »global allocation efficiency« always ends with everyone renting access from the company whose CEO wants to do the allocating. Local AI offers privacy, independence, and no monthly tollbooth. Apparently the real waste of RAM is letting people control what they own.

Sam Altman, reading your comment, hissing in agony three times like someone poured holy water on him…
Perhaps we should apply the same theory to petrol and cars. Everyone should take the bus - having a lump of metal rusting outside your front door is a waste.
I wonder how far that logic would work with US republicans?
Altman argued that ongoing memory supply chain woes were because selfish individuals wanted to run their AI models locally instead of leaving the remaining AI chips alone for hyperscalers to hoard in data centers.
Selfish? We’re selfish?
Goooo fuck yourself. You’re the problem you fucking cunt, and you know that.
“Don’t get tap water at home. Drink the water I sell”
Fuck this guy
Pipes are inefficient. If you want water, you should buy it from my big lake. Also, I should be able to set the price of water. Also, fuck these three people in particular, for using water in a way I don’t like.
Cory Doctorow predicted this fifteen years ago, although in a different context (transcript here).
Soo-soo sook!
I mean the analogy he’s making is more like “nobody should pump their own water, all water should be gotten from the municipal circuit”, but it’s obviously a faulty comparison that falls apart when you realise that 1. OpenAI is for profit and 2. different AI is not equivalent the way water is
Uuuummm… Tap water is literally pooled resources.
I would rather Sam Altman gets hit with a car, but here we are.
You can take my ram from my cold dead hands.
I hate the idea of Sam Altman and I’d like to RAM a data center up his ass
He’d enjoy it.
I hate the idea of Sam Altman not being in prison
Why should we continue allowing him to drain us like the parasite he is? He’s okay with ending our species if he’s able to generate the most capital and control of any organization in history, why is it so unacceptable that we simply end him instead?
Rich people are safe and comfortable in prison, and their influence slips through the bars
I prefer putting him in a certain prison…
The prison that he had been in before he was born
Literally the point of AI is to get everyone to store everything in the cloud so they can do to all your data what Facebook did to your social profile (and worse)
And CHARGE YOU FOR IT. Sell it to insurers, surge pricing at stores, and anyone else that will raise your prices because of “behaviors” they deem chargeable. That’s what they want.
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.
Especially not when he said how he envisions ai to someday be a utility like water or electricity, that everyone will pay for
Shocked, I tell you. I’m utterly shocked
He can pry my local AI out of my cold dead hands. My gpu is capable of running it and damnit i will run it locally
God that guy needs to be punched in the face.
God that guy needs to be
punchedguillotined in thefaceneck.Certainly, but also needs to be punched in the face first.
And after.
Can I pee on him before and after?
Smeared with pate and introduced to a tank of hungry lobsters
Reality: He’s still pissy about people not going full cloud computing in 2012.
Also I don’t even want to run a local model, I just want a GPU that is still supported driver-wise by the manufacturer.
On contrary, we should run all our models locally.
Absolutely! 💯
Con man, and so many people are falling for it.
How hasn’t this guy been Luigi Mangioni -ed yet ?
