None of them are. Musk could spend a million dollars a day and not spend his money in a thousand years.
A few of these fuckers could solve world hunger and still have more money than they could ever spend. That’s how you know they’re supervillains.
Sam Altman needs to go to prison
No no no... DRAM should go to personal computers, and data centers should be burned to the ground. People often get that mixed up.
MOST DCs should be burned to the ground. The one in the basement of your court building or hosting your health data, those can stay.
Sam Altman is so wise, we should stuff him into Jeff Bozo's dick rocket and have him start the new civilization on mars for us. What an American hero!
In unrelated news: Creating a serious problem for which only you have the solution is called "racketeering". Racketeers should be dealt with harshly and publicly.
Person with RAM renting business says not renting RAM is bad.
Technically true from a pure utilization perspective, if everyone is using RAM for the same thing, but an OpenAI data centre having RAM doesn't make my VRChat any faster.
He doesn't want to make it faster, he just wants you to rent your pc usage from their datacenters
God I wish this guy would shut the fuck up already
This is all distraction from the binance hack which probably used AI. He had something really outrageous on retainer to say for such a scenario.
King says gold should go to him and not peasants.
So when are we going to do something about these leeches who think we’re expendable cattle?
come try unsolder it
I think we should form a ram collective and lease our extra ram to Sam I Am. We can call it Ram Bank™. We can fill tractor trailers with ram, they can be moved to data centers and when they don't pay their monthly ram bill, we pull our ram from the data center. We can charge $100 per Gb per month to start.
