I hate the idea of Sam Altman not being in prison
God that guy needs to be punched in the face.
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.
why do these so called captains of industry always sound like whiny little bitches? if they’re so smart, come up with a better solution
Somebody kill this cunt on camera and threaten everyone profiting from it that they’re next and man it. People like him deserve to suffer just for our amusement.
That’s the livestream I would actually tune into. Make it a double feature with Trump.
We skip trials when literally everyone already has the evidence.
The problem isn’t the AI, the issue is that the elites are trying to horde it and keep it from us little people. If we are to have agency, having personal ownership over local AI, collectively owned AI, and regulations, are all key to ensuring that democracy and egalitarianism is secure.
The elite will not willingly surrender power, especially there is a void that they can colonize. Ordinary people like us should fill the vacuum, to deny the elite from having total control over AI.
Ok Sam, give your computers up first and then we will negotiate.
On contrary, we should run all our models locally.
“The entire way people use computing in the whole World should change so that my business model has a small chance of being viable”

I mean, he has a point. Hardware is used way more efficiently in the data center, and any sort of deficit is best resolved in a centralized system due to more efficient resource allocation. The same setup could be used like 2 hours a day for your personal needs, or 24 hours a day to serve many people.
THAT SAID, their greed and unsatiable desire to make the number go up by hooking us into subscription economy with ever rising costs is what led us here and it leaves us with little choice but to accept the less efficient way and host these things ourselves.
Remember the times not so long ago when self-hosting was an enthusiast hobby instead of necessity? Barely anyone non-geeky bothered with it, because what existed served people well. Now, having to build our own services remains the only sane choice, and the only way out of the nightmare Sam, among others, has built with his own hands.

Only for a rather narrow definition of efficiency, though. For raw compute power, yes, but you’d also be adding a whole bunch of overhead from all the network traffic and routing that would be necessary for that sort of thing to work in the first place.
If people used their desktops like in the old days where you’d connect to a mainframe or master computer, you’d end up needing computing hardware on both ends anyway, since the user side would need to be enough to be able to connect and send all the interactions to the master computer. At that point, you could just buff up the client computer, and do all that in the user’s home.
There’s also an argument that some of the basic problems would still apply anyway. A data centre does not fully utilise 100% of its capacity. There’d always be some reserve to have failover if a server dies, or there’s a sudden spike in load, like with a home machine.
It doesn’t fulfill the same user case. One can be used offline, the other cannot. One can be used without a subscription, the other cannot. One needs to be running constantly to meet targets, the other can be run whenever I want. One has that memory being used by very specific services, the other has that memory being used for whatever I want to use it for. Why should we care about an efficiency factor that really only benefits Sam Altman and ignores all other metrics?
If you think he has a point, I think you are being dazzled by the inherent proposition of an implementation in the ideal egalitarian society, which we do not live in nor is he really interested in providing.
Yeah with open models catching up and giving reasonable results in consumer grade setups, they are gonna go full on with “unregulated AI is too dangerous we should only allow hardware gated LLMs”.
It is so funny this guy is the CEO of a company called openAI lol.
Said CEO of a company from USA that started wars and killed kids. Fuck USA, fuck their AI companies, fuck them and stop using their products.
This guy is really trying to piss people off with his stupid fucking ideas and acting like he should lead humanity into his vision of the future.
Apparently Facebook forbids saying you hope someone gets a disease, gets killed by a natural disaster, dies without a specific perpetrator or method, or gets smited by a deity or absence thereof…no joke.
Anyway, I don’t want to step on the wrong side of our cyberlords /s so I’ll just say this:
Fuck Sam Altman. I hope he sees that no one likes him, his ideas are dumber than AI generated slop, his parents left his stroller in the sun too long, and I hope he eats some South American beef.
Sam Altman has lost the plot.
His own model of LLM isn’t sustainable or profitable, where the local software model us.
And the economy isn’t there just to make Sam Altman richer.
This is (another) Let them eat cake moment in which another spoiled aristocrat has lost touch with the common people.
subscription models are a scam.
