Sam Altman says personal PCs hoarding DRAM is 'quite terrible'
Sam Altman can give me a billion dollars to divest myself of my DRAM otherwise he can go fuck himself sideways
lerris.bsky.social7Agreed. Also, I believe it is _essential_ that we own our own technology, not just rent it from others who have absolute control over everything. I do not want televisions with cameras and microphones and everything leaving my home. 1984 is to be avoided or at least resisted.
Dr. Alfred Neccesiter4Its like they are trying to out-cartoon the cartoon villains.
Disband ICE3No kidding. What a fuckin ghoul.
mebranigan.bsky.social3Agree 100%. These tech dorks are such morons.
Voltaireon - 5 caustic French philosophers in a trenchcoat2He can go fuck himself sideways anyway. Go on, Sam, I'll tell you when to stop...
skippile.bsky.social1The arrogance of the man. The whole personal computer industry was a backlash to the centralized computer industry of the mainframe days. People *want* the independence that comes from running their own software on their own machines.
Sam's latest dumb comments were made on Cheeky Pint, a YouTube channel by Stripe co-founder John Collison one of an endless array of tech bro safe-spaces intended to supplant actual journalists asking actual questions of powerful people
Karl Bode82Rogan, Theo Von, Lex Fridman; this fluff comes off as harmless fun time chit chat but one of its core functions really is to create a safe space for terrible assholes that operates beyond the reach of actual critical journalism
Karl Bode47I genuinely don't know when Altman does any actual work
Chuckles8@karlbode.com man, fuck that guy.
Tombs of X'iane - Controversial Ghost Icon5I think about all the campaign spending that is, fairly demonstrably, pissed away in media buys. I wonder what would happen if half that money went to endowments to preserve journalism?
ddll.bsky.social5"Sam's latest dumb comments were made on Cheeky Pint, a YouTube channel by Stripe co-founder John Collison" I am sad to say that is a factually correct description of a real event.
AnthropoceneMPG 🌊3Sam, how about we use your computers‘ excess ram. 😡
Koze’s Discord was hacked8i hope sam altman gets shinzo abe'd
Wil (He/Him)7I can guarantee the DRAM in both of my laptops gets far more than 5% utilization when I'm using them, and when I'm not using them Altman can still fuck right off.
Molly Jeffery, PhD MPP4This makes me want to go out and buy like 3 of the $30,000 Macs. Just so Sam Altman can't have that RAM.
Dwight Williams 🇨🇦4Again, yeah, this was dumb of Altman. Our personal computers should *remain personal* to us.
AnthropoceneMPG 🌊2Sam is from another universe.
Jeff Abbott2please please PLEASE we just need you dependent on us to deliver shareholder value
viejo86.bsky.social2I still find it surprising that the corporate world and some of the world's biggest investors can buy into this clown's story. What an imbecile. Being a billionaire must be nice, you don't have to know anything or work for anything, you just have to spout nonsense and people keep listening.
i said some months ago that they don't want you to use computers at all and was recently wondering if i sounded overly conspiratorial. i guess not www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...
Cat Manning31I need this guy to [tos violation]
Delirious Quips24Going back to a 1996 level of personal computing so that Claude can more quickly tell OpenAI execs how to respond to their 3 year old's latest email.
aria8not a sam altman fan but the thing he is talking about is much more narrow than the headline suggests it'd be more accurate to say that he thinks local inference of large open-weight models is deeply inefficient and not enough to actually replace datacenters, because the utilization is so bad
Noah Weinberger3Linus Torvalds cannot stop WINNING. Big Tech is making normies adopt FOSS tools and even build their own sovereign machines. Yes, we need more of this. HP 255G10 laptop with Arch +Hyprland +Caelestia and Libreboot AMD 16gb memory 512SSD
塑料巫醫 Plastic Shaman3Fucked up that such an evil company has Open in it's name.

ae30i blocked someone who qskeeted this with “sama has a point” yes, sama. his longtime twitter handle
Sylvia Chi 齊思涵6From a global allocation perspective, it's quite terrible to have OpenAI and other frontier labs using a bunch of the world's capital to pump climate pollution into the atmosphere when we're already at 427ppm.
sweet little raquel5I hope we don't end up in the bad timeline where personal computers are just the sun ray and they don't even look as good
Meh5If there's one thing this guy does and does better than perhaps anybody, it's continue to say the dumbest shit you've ever heard somebody say.
Sam Clemente3Centralized compute has always been a shit idea Network terminals are authoritarian
MrNelson007 Belongs in a Museum3These guys are chronically unable to shut up and then remain baffled why so many people don’t like the sand that thinks
Boo-tros Boo-tros Ghoulish2From a global allocation perspective, actually, it's quite terrible for humans to have individual sentience. If all of the biomass on Earth was reallocated to create more compute, then who knows? The planet could be maximally monetized to turn everything into even more money.
Ghost of a Werewolf2They have always wanted this. Steve Jobs wanted this when he didn't want apps on phones. Everything should just be cloud shit and web apps. This theft of tech power away from the people is frankly insane to watch in real time.
tell you hwhat, Sam Altman can come on over and take my DRAM from my COLD DEAD HANDS
e.w. niedermeyer51I am ready die beside my questionably ergonomic kneeling chair to defend the dignity and integrity of my personal computer
rex 🦖1Just like data centers can utilize drinking water better than people can. Duh.
A Whole Skeptic1I didn't think it was possible to hate this asshat any more than I already did, but here we are.
BREAKING: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says having RAM in personal computers is an inefficient use of the world’s limited DRAM supply, arguing it would be better allocated to data centers, per Tom’s Hardware
spartychemist.bsky.social85next having electricity at home is inefficient .. just donate water and energy to Data centers
Hazard Hostile64I would argue the same about our precious supply of oxygen being used in Sam Altman
Operation RYaN15The crash can't come soon enough
h4ximus.bsky.social12yeah well Sam Altman is a fortunate idiot.
GO round9It’s 100 degrees out, the air conditioner is running full tilt but the windows are all open; the oven is on 500 with the door wide open; the furnace is blasting; the dryer and every hair dryer in the house is running; and this guy says he needs the toaster too because he’s not wasting enough energy.
Ryan McGarry8I'm certainly not advocating for it, but it's a wonder that no one has punched him squarely in his smug little face.
rivers mccown268BREAKING: It is an inefficient use of the world's fists that none of them are embedded in Sam Altman's face.
nick pants33it is an inefficient use of the world’s oxygen that sam altman breathes
Minty Root12Over my dead body, bitch.
animal from the international network7Charlie Kirk was such an inefficient choice for that sort of thing
🌱📈7"and what is this act called?" "rationalism!"
Spencer Bagley6Sam Altman can, and I wish to be crystal clear about this, go fuck himself
Septimus Brown6And of course he means to pay us for access to our RAM, right? Right???
yorick 💀5this fucking guy. Individuals having things for themselves in inefficient. Give all your resources to me and pay me to use them instead. Much more efficient when I'm a pay-to-use bottleneck holding all compute in the world hostage!
Coyle "Barricade Material" Boron4now see when I talk about ewaste like this people give me funny looks.
Doc Hammertime4We don’t need to have These Guys to have a society! They should shut the fuck up!
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks it's "terrible" for people to have RAM in their computers rather than in a data center, as the scarcity of memory caused by the AI boom continues to drive up costs. https://bit.ly/47LJ09d

ThunderTHR6Try to take it from my cold, dead hands then Sam. You play a large reason we're in this mess that we're in. Fuck off Altman.
ʀʏᴀɴ ᴛʜᴏᴍᴀꜱ ʀɪᴅᴅʟᴇ 🇵🇭 🏳️🌈5Nah, bro, you're wrong. About everything. As soon as I can I'm gonna get an external hard drive to store shit again locally and get it off the damn cloud.
(Vic)Gurgis5Não tem ninguém afim de Luigiar esse cara não?

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says having RAM in personal computers is a ‘terrible’ use of limited resources and that it would be better utilized in data centers "From a global perspective it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their computer"

David M. Argüelles12wow wonder why this guy isn't popular
Trevor 🇨🇦11I don't know. The RAM in my PC isn't responsible for enshitifying the internet or wiping hundreds of billions of worth out of the world in a single day. Can he say the same?

“‘[I]t's quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used 5% of the time,’ Altman said. ‘You want maximum utilization in the cloud…’” And if you don’t want Sam’s tool, tough! #AI www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...
Grumpy Philosopher30There was plenty of RAM for all until these boring twats decided to build a misogynistic flimflam machine out of stolen goods so they could have all of the power & money in the universe for themselves. Now, we aren’t even allowed our own computers. I wouldn’t allow Altman even a packet of crayons.
Antonio E. Porreca 🐳3I don’t know if the biggest clown is Altman or those that pay OpenAI money. (That’s not true, I know the answer, but apparently it’s politically incorrect to say it aloud in academic circles.)
