Look how much money is wasted in billionaires. It would be far more useful with poor people who would actually use the money instead of hoarding it like dragons.
for ages the stories have battled over the ultimate purpose of humanity.
Is not the purpose, to meet the needs of all people while sustaining the environment that gives us this life?
Tax those fuckers into ground
More importantly, close the loopholes and enforce the rules
That's what money does.
Exponential wealth and power consolidation is an emergent property.
I think they are generelly seen as alien reptiles rather than dragons... :)
Free as in unallocated
Hi Sam,
I hear RAM is hard to come by these days, so it feels a bit rude to be sitting on 248.1 GiB of it. Total installed: 251.7 GiB. It's not for sale, I just like knowing it's there.
Stay allocated, A concerned RAM owner
That IS rude tbh. At least put it to work
My extra spicy first pre coffee thought im response to Sam Altman's viewpoint here: I imagine sam Altmans neighbors have bullets, just wasting their potential sitting in boxes. they yearn for the minds
It's not vibecoded if anyone else wanted to check.
I'm really not sure why he wants all these male sheep anyways.
I think he wants anti-siege weapons.
Dragons are known for hoarding wealth and stealing sheep.
#NotAllDragons
I just hoard things I should probably throw away, but it might be useful later.
I legit didn't notice your usernames. I was referring to the comparison between billionaires and dragons hoarding wealth.
Don't worry, I'm making a funny
Why are we talking about maga voters all of a sudden? 😆

Any chance you could get charged for harassment or something using this?
It's America so yes.
Also, big tech can hire expensive lawyers and drag out the process for years. There is no justice when you have rich vs normal.
not if you have proper security and privacy
So... yes?
Might technically fall afoul of anti-spam legislation if you don't respect unsubscribe requests, though I'm not sure if that's specifically for commercial email in the US, and it's not like unsubscribing from one instance of this would do much. Probably easy to filter, though.
There's also a RAM vinyl just sitting on my shelves, unused...
Yeah, why shouldn't I listen to it again?
The Trance artist or Daft Punk album?
Latter, of course.
Surely if he needs RAM so badly he'd accept donations, right?
Is there anywhere he accepts large files? Because surely there's some generous souls who would upload RAM to help him out
In fairness, he says the remarks were taken out of context, posted “i want you to have so much ram”, and briefly went by Ram Altman on X. That makes this script a daily progress report.
Umm I read/watched the context and somehow the message does not change.
Am I missing something?
Do I hallucinate or does he?
LLMs have the basic decency to admit they were wrong when corrected. That places their humanity level above that of CEOs.
They're both always enthusiastically and confidently wrong. No wonder CEOs love AI.
He definitely hallucinates, but I think what he might be trying to imply is that if they get more RAM in the data centers it'll be easier to get more RAM for people and lower the over all cost? Which because of capitalism is obvious bullshit. But also, this is the guy that said AI will bring about the end of the world, so I suspect he wants more RAM to speed up that process.
What he implied was that in a shortage of RAM, RAM that's sitting in a PC doing nothing, is useless to most of the world, whereas RAM in a shared resource (data center) gets utilized significantly more. Which is not incorrect. It's just that 1) personal freedom, 2) why should the shared resource be allocated to a private company
Ohhh man, he'd hate to hear 128GB DDR5 is just sitting in my basement unused at this time. Building an office/game room and it's disconnected for <1year
Can I get your address, work hours, and mortal weaknesses?
Haha, yes, my address is 123 Main St.
Mortal weakneses, all the normal stuff haha.
That much RAM could pay my mortgage
sticks of RAM will be a currency stronger than the US dollar, just you see.

Pffft. We all know you can just download more ram. What's this guys problem?
Good old Memmaker! Classic memory boosting program. Sam should take notes.
cute, and i love the sentiment, but unless it can actually waste sam altman's money i'm not interested.
he has changed his user name on twitter to "ram altman". he does not care about the jokes.
Ah yes, the cope by pretending to play along. Like PirateSoftware's profile picture once being his own parody, which is a thing I also learned from others reporting on it as I don't use Xitter.
