if you can think, you want to be to self determine because that is a universally preferable state. if you can't think, then you cant do the cognitive skill tasks they are trying to sell.

Now that they’ve shown they can monopsonize the entire HDD supply chain, I fear they’re going to slide right on from this statement to “why not everyone just rent compute from us?”

These people want a monopoly on human agency.

I've been saying this for a while now

You've said exactly what I've been saying on this topic. Only so much more eloquently. 👏🏻

It's like that tractor farmers can't repair, or seeds you can't save, but for EVERYTHING. EV.REY.THING.

it's a telling comparison, because the human body produces neither water not electricity (yes, I know we pee and what static charge is). So he doesn't want us to "produce" intelligence either.

That's just dumb. But I'm sure Altman and others will find different ways to turn a profit. There's certainly a lot of potential in killing people.

It seems the people most likely to like it have personality traits similar to those of the people pushing it. 😬

I do kinda wonder if this is related to how sycophantic the chatbots tend to be when answering questions; it's instantly abrasive to me, but I can see how an asshole would find it appealing

Add the DOGE tech bros depositions and Karp's recent comments. They want all of us dead or peons, and they are kings. They got tech from CIA and got funding from the CIA. Time to pull the plug.

been thinking about this altman quote for like 24 hours. they want everyone to be dumber so that people need to pay them to do anything that requires a modicum of intelligence. truly evil shit

But this only works if AI doesn’t become a commodity. And it likely would (if it did become dominant). Its very unlikely anyone handful of US tech-bros are going to be able to maintain domination. Why would we ‘need’ to buy it from him?

Rent it to whom? That I don't quite get.

De-skill is a perfect way to describe what they're trying (and failing) to do

why are we allowing them to live

At least Uber is actually useful and people can get money from it.

May I tap the sign: ia801400.us.archive.org/30/items/Har...

i believe death to be too kind a punishment for these kinds of people. i'd rather they be relegated to having normal lives, where they have to work for their money and have to work to afford to live, like most people do. it's the single most terrifying thing to them, i think.

Idiocracy as a business model... 🤮

I want to turn this man upside down and shake him until his money falls out then give him a fucking wedgie before he is tried at the hague

So rather than being paid for our knowledge, we will be forced to pay for their knowledge ( which is AI's theft of our knowledge )

These people are just bastards for thinking intelligence and competence should be sold.

I'm calling it now, once thing like Chat GPT and such are required to be paid for in order to access them, all bets are fucking off and this thing is going in the trash.

We should kill the AI dudes.

Perfect summary of their brand of disadaptive ugliness. They subtract human capital and replace what they take with a flawed product that you will need one specific human to fix. Less regular workers at the front end of a rollout, one overpaid specialist on perpetual crunch time at the end.

A company that has a financial incentive that people are stupid and uneducated

This is a comic book villain plan. Dumb down the world so everybody relies on your devices to survive.

I'd draw comparisions to getting hooked on a substance and drug dealers instead, but that's probably "over the line" for most people.

I don't know who Altman is, but he's clearly not paid his intelligence bill.😏

Not that's what I call dystopian!

ya think Karma will finally strike when they find their consciousness imprisoned inside their newly implanted robot bodies…. 🙃

That's what they are. Brain breaker industry. No "AI". And we let them rule.

Utilities were regulated and mostly trusted entities to deliver necessities. I'm pretty sure Altman and ChatGPT can't be trusted as far as you could throw them. Also, how do you know the output is reliable? Changes in training data and programming could change the output a lot.

Sam: "We'll still show AI despise the hate and infamy" My brain: "Fuck you"

What a dreadful downgrading of the human race. Surely he should be fighting such an outcome? Why is he boasting?

they seem to be operating under the assumption that people will not be able to question their authority if they do not have permission from authority to do so but that's never actually worked

^This. Describing it as a utility you have to pay for is the telling bit. They want to become the next utility, the next Microsoft or whatever. Something so essential, modern society cannot function without it or one of its designated competitors. Awful, ghoulish behavior.

Oh UBER promised to get people to stop buying cars. (never happened) But they did get people to stop taking the bus and causing public transit to lose funding.

They steal other peoples data, ideas, writing, art, personal images and voices, etc. etc. basically everything on the internet and then some and then they turn around and want us to pay them for it on a meter.

Fun fact about Uber: it's banned where I live because they don't want it or any other one of these services taking over the taxi service we have already

Luigi where are you

This guy killed his company in a matter of weeks

This is the thing Marx was the most prescient about. He explained that owners didn't have the skills. They had to take them from workers and then charge us to learn it from them. Is been happening ever since.

Intelligence that hit a girl’s school and killed over 170 people … nah. Take that shjt to the trash!

shut up and dont take my money

I've thought about this at length. I've read a fair amount of articles discussing the use of AI in education, in particular. I've had conversations with fellow academics about its use too. I've come to a conclusion. It's a fucking stupid idea.

this is what i'm screaming

Imagine that the Uber driver wanders around for an hour while the meter’s running. That is what the rental IQ bot will do.

The enshittification of humanity, for profit.

Suddenly remember this sketch from french humorist Coluche in the 80s "My professor was the dean of the University. It was a guy who was selling intelligence, but he didn't have a single sample on him"

... back to the middle ages ...

No one wants to "buy intelligence" from a gibbering fool like Sam Altman

Holy sh*t.

Seriously WHY DON'T YOU KILL THEM ALREADY! THIS VERMIN ALREADY SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD! BURN THEIR HOUSES! DRAW AND QUARTER THEM BEFORE HUMANITY IS DOOMED!

Astute observation

They desperately *need* everyone to use AI for everything all the time because it's the only way they'll avoid going bankrupt. And they'll just have to keep pretending like that's what's gonna happen to keep investors interested for the next fund raising or they're going bust within months.

NO, what you describe is the goal and indeed the raison d'être of the US AI industry. In China, AI is inextricably tied to manufacturing and the shop floor.

The fuq?

It's also like Uber in that it relies on an army of underpaid and exploited workers from developing countries.

The just fucking reinventing buying computers and paying for electricity

"Let's sell intelligence", already sounds like the American Education System 😂

😩

What a massive load of wank.

that's definitely not what the AI industry is based on. not every potential motivation you can imagine is true.

I see a future where people are stupid enough to think that what this moron is talking about constitutes actual intelligence.

spot-on and something that has been not sitting well with me when imagining the repercussions of mass-adoption/addiction to these services.

We do need to bump those numbers up. It's amateur hour with this hate at times. Focus.

Tell me 1 reason why a ghoul with a goal like that shouldnt be banished. Absolute fucking insanity that we're giving anyone like this a platform anywhere.

Very well put sir.

It’s way more evil than Uber. At least Uber only broke something that needed to be broken. It didn’t need to be replaced with Uber, tbf, but the taxi system in this country was fucked.

We can offer your business ten Neanderthals and 10000 AI credits for the price of one homo sapiens.

I knew this asshole was evil but damn.

True and as a bonus, the support system can't even do the cognition

Exactly how obvious does the scam need to be before everyone calls it out and stops playing along?

Deep Rock Galactic reminded me of scrip. Now illegal. Often left miners in huge debt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company...

AI is to actual intelligence what plastic food is to nutrition

There's plenty of problems with ai, but this is an utterly ridiculous theory. There is no way anyone in that position would see that timeline feasible. Even if it were the plan this would be at least a multi decades project and not in scope before the next crash already coming.

my theory is they collectively have bad brains from long covid and think that *everybody* thinks like that

They believe themselves above such doom

You were once as entitled to water as you currently are to intelligence, btw. They can take anything from you, nothing is sacred.

It can either be soooo expensive only the wealthy can afford it or all the world’s governments can force adoption. We’re at least getting closer to the truth.

It always is.

That guy needs the shit kicked out him so bad.
