Guess it's time for everybody to find some grass to touch.
When RAM becomes an AI tax, "touch grass" means that labs stall, ICUs postpone upgrades, schools ration PCs. But Altmann buys a new yacht.
I don’t really think the per student Chromebook thing is useful anymore.
Kids should be learning with pen and paint, which are shown to be more effective anyways.
Obviously this doesn’t apply to every class, but those classes always had out of date computer labs.
I wish Altman would meet a French crowd like in the good old times.
Which was absolutely great, ideal almost. Just look at the exemplary equal and fair society that's France.
Imperfect as it may be it sure as hell is better than the US.
So we agree that the guillotine failed completely. At least you can think.
The magic potion, of course.
🤦♂️
All of those things hit a brick wall from policy well before this artificial shortage aka fraud
Artificial shortage or whatever you choose to call it is still real to the consumer.
Maybe ICUs will upgrade their staffing ratios instead if the costs change that much
