ares623··on RAM Altman: Linux Script Emails Sam Altman Daily How Much Unused RAM in Your PC
Nah. OpenAI themselves are wasting tons of RAM by doing frivolous stuff like providing ChatGPT for free for millions upon millions of people so they can ask what rocks go well with pizza. And wtf was Sora for.

No, if compute/memory was _that_ scarce that you begin thinking about what a waste it is that a decent chunk of it is sitting in people's homes, then why aren't you dedicating every atom of silicon that you already own to more productive efforts first.

Sounds like a great product that could be built from someone who has the tokens for it.

The preferred nomenclature is "largely solved"

(once you realize how much that phrase is used in the AI-sphere...)

You do realize you're contradicting yourself right? To get to a state where "bankers cannot hurt themselves" or "low code [is] done right" is to end up right back at the "take it or leave it" programs.

Security was already addressed, by these "take it or leave it" programs.

Add enough abstractions on top of each other that must be adhered to or else it falls apart, and what do you get? "take it or leave it" programs.

This reminds me of the sovereign citizen movement that got really popular in 2019. The illusion of freedom feels great I'm sure. Until you realize you are entirely dependent on the existing infrastructure and the people who maintain it to enjoy the apparent freedom.

Same can be said for every country right now. And now, there's fewer and fewer reliable greener pastures that unsatisfied people can go to, which used to let off some much needed steam.

The people will always have something to do. What those somethings are is entirely up to the ruling class.

Yes, and the sum total of those costs (that makes _some_ economic sense) end up on the total house price.

Is the same true for distillation?

> who had the skills and the means to do it.

emphasis on means. The means to spend ~8 hours a day contributing instead of dedicating that time to a full time job or a second job.

But the gravy train is ending...

ares623··on Inkling 2 Small
Are they distilling from the big labs or Chinese labs at all? In that case isn't it $1 trillion frontier CAPEX + Inkling's costs for the total costs.

The cool thing is that once scammed, the ~victims~ willing participants are effectively silenced due to a mixture of shame, and utter despair.

As a TechBro, not taking advantage of that would be negligence.
