The man behind ChatGPT is wooing the UAE to invest in energy-hungry AI. But if it turns out his tech can’t fix the world, he’s got his escape plan
OpenAI boss Sam Altman wants $7tn. For all our sakes, pray he doesn’t get it::The man behind ChatGPT is wooing the UAE to invest in energy-hungry AI. But if it turns out his tech can’t fix the world, he’s got his escape plan
Wake me up when “ai” makes the amount of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere trend downward. Generative AI is just a way to burn electricity to take value produced by humans and then replace those same humans, all to line the pockets of the companies that can afford to churn all the data in the world.
For the handful of genuinely cool and interesting things it can do, the number of extremely awful costs and externalities is like 1000x worse.
I’m glad perspectives has stopped treating Sam Altman like a tech God. dude is second coming of every FAANG CEO and Elon combined. there’s no way that guy isnt up to no good.
Luddite nonsense. AI will drive productivity gains which will help research in photovoltaics, nuclear fusion, carbon capture (also needed for SpaceX’s Mars mission), etc. and improve society.
The US collects about 5 trillion in revenue a year. This fucker wants a budget on the scale of the biggest revenue of a country on earth. That’s more power than the president has. Fuck this guy. Nobody deserves that much trust.

Serious question: why does everyone in silicon valley have a god complex?

Socialism for monopolies but not for starving and sick people.

Yes cow farts and leaving the lights on will surely kill us all like, soon
OpenAI runs on Azure, which is carbon neutral.
How they achieve this ?
This is a face born to be punched. Much like the Zuckfuck or the Muskrat.

I get strong “ends justify the means” vibes.
Bruh
I’d be jumping on the ceiling with 700 AUD. The hell is he gonna do with 7000000000000 USD?

I’m just sick of seeing his jerkoff face.
Before he was a thundering asshat at Y Combinator, he started a mobile company that sold your location to brands called Loopt. He’s a piece of work.
I am thinking of getting a tomtom. Tired of my phone trying to throw a fit when I disable location after I’ve figured out my way to my destination.
So much of this advertising economy depends on it and we just give it away.
They should use that non-creepy picture of him.
Hm? Oh. Oh right.
