I will never, pay for Open AI.
I might, in some future, pay for Claude, but not OpenAI.
But also very much probably not on Claude either.

Why not just skip the ram altogether and go ahead and just send all the money to one person, too? Having it all in one account seems way more practical than spreading cash out all over the country.

No, give only us the money to replace your employees!

“But from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of ~~[dynamic RAM]~~ food sitting in their own ~~computer~~ pantry,” he added.
Sounds a bit evil, like the kinda thing a cartoon villain would say. Doesn't matter if it's food or RAM, he wants what is yours. His continued existence is a personal and direct threat against you, your family, and their safety.

Can’t charge people rent if they own it.
Give him what he wants. Have the government seize his data centers and make them public utilities. Cloud servers for everyone.

Control freak.
The best thing for all of us is to have him in charge of our lives. Sign me up, dickbag.
I work in SV almost 20 yrs. The amount of fucking people who either a) had one good idea or b) executed one fine idea, seem to think those are qualifications for making decisions on behalf of the 99% who are too stupid to govern themselves....
I'd rather take up gun making as a hobby than rent all my compute power.

Who are the people behind the curtains funding these losers? WTF, one cannot be an AI hobbyists.
I'm not at all suprised he thinks that, but I dunno. I am a bit suprised he said it out loud.

Fuck off Sam
This man is an idiot. Hire a PR team, you need help.
Just be glad he trusts his own product as a PR team. Imagine if he could deceive people even better.
Dear Mr Altman,
We're not turning to local inference for efficiency. We're turning to local inference because we don't trust you.
We don't trust that your LLM will give us unedited results.
We don't trust you to keep our data private.
He deserves to be hung in a public square along with a whole bunch of others like him.
“Sam Altman Absolutely Hates the Idea of People.”
FTFY.
I'll reinstate my previous comment. Crackhead Altman can go fuck himself with a 12"er.
Here's my thought and in mimicking an Ai overview for fun: I think that guy needs a comprehensive psychological evaluation. He might think he's okay but he needs to find a health professional for his constant delusions of grandor. I recommend CBT or Thorazine.
I recommend the other cbt.
Get lost, Sam
