    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

      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.

    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?

      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.

      LLMs have the basic decency to admit they were wrong when corrected. That places their humanity level above that of CEOs.

    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

    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

    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.
