Sam Altman has built an entire business around theft. Taking everything he can find—but not pay for—he has constructed a monstrous machine that uses an unbelievable amount of energy and an unfathomable amount of water to keep cool. It is an ecological nightmare. In addition, ChatGPT doesn’t just itself fail to recognize the difference between fact and fiction, it presents these answers to people who are themselves unable to discern the difference. Sam Altman is a person who thinks today’s limitation of a laptop is waiting for ChatGPT to respond. He said this.
Both of these men are made for each other in the worst way imaginable. They both seemingly have a disdain for computers. None of what they spoke about in that ten-minute masturbatory video showed any ounce of wonder and amazement for what humans are able to do with computers. I don’t think these men are here to save us.
I don’t disagree with this take.
