"We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter..." -- Sam Altman

There you go, there it is. Yup.

@cwebber That’s capitalism. Monetizing intelligence.
"I see a future where every techbro billionaire's head is firmly pushed town onto a large wooden pike."
@cwebber This country is increasingly becoming like a dystopian hellscape with every passing day. I remember the movie Total Recall (from the early 1990s), when people had to pay for air.
@cwebber time for the guillotines.
Sweet niblets, Sam Altman looks like Lyle Lovett and Elon Musk made a baby and it grew up to be a Tech Bro.
YIPES!
intelligence doesn't work like that
@cwebber something something Mythical Man-Month.
@cwebber I see a future where he gets keelhauled through a sewer
@cwebber I am curious if anyone thinks Sam Altman is using that analogy as a template to make a fistful of money OR to provide a foundational like a utility? I am hoping for the v latter.
@cwebber Why the FFFF would they buy AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE??
LOLOLOL
Since the mar-a-lago cardboard box affair YOU DON'T HAVE ANY!
@cwebber He wanted to say "futility", then corrected.
@cwebber There's no intelligence for sale from that dumbass. He couldn't even give it away.
@cwebber because now intelligence is, definitively, not something that industry is ready to pay for. Only in the future.
How about stupidity, will that also be for sale, or is this it?
Will they provide the knowledge to destroy all LLMs for ever?
@cwebber So Spaceballs wasn't satire but prophetic...
@cwebber that has to be fake there's no way it admits it so openly like this
@cwebber "Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it."
–Alan Moore, V for Vendetta
@cwebber Until the day they spend less than a million to get a million in revenue, that 'intelligence' parameter remains to be defined.
@cwebber
They keep using that word. I don't think they know what it means.
@cwebber @jalefkowit The next DMCA will criminalize independent thought that doesn’t rely on the intelligence utility
@cwebber wait, they don't recognize Internet service as a utility...
@cwebber intelligence on tap that hallucinates and invents bullshit.
@cwebber oof was not ready for that pull quote
@cwebber funny, I recall OpenAI repeatedly saying "too cheap to meter" in the past. Hypocrisy is nothing new from them ofc, but, y'know.
@cwebber Goddamn rent seekers. Sam Altman should get a real job.
@cwebber and so very proud to be at the controls of his wealth transfer machine
@cwebber non-X-hosted copy of the video
@cwebber
This depends on his particular definition of "intelligence".
It is likely that I am using a different definition. 🙄
they'd have no moral problem hoarding all the oxygen.
Water is life. So is intelligence.
@cwebber wasn't the 1995 documentary tank girl, with lori petty, about this?
don't say that too loud or some techbro will try to invent artificial water...
I'm not claiming that they're right, that you are actually buying "intelligence" from them by the meter, I think that's misleading.
But also, the fact that that's the *framing* goes to show to you that they absolutely, completely want it to be, and want to sell intellectual slavery, as far as they can get it.
@cwebber
.
It’s reality they are taking from everyone
.
like they think there’s something else or something 🤮
@cwebber Exactly. With this they are claiming universal intelligence, but it's more of the same capitalistic theft. Here they are not only attempting to enclose and charge for all of the digital commons, but also enclose and charge for as much of the copyrighted creative human work they can get away with.
@cwebber They are all wet.
AI is a death cult.
Isn't that slightly overdramatic? It's just a bit of marketing hype
@cwebber They're inventing a market that they can corner, or at least try their damnedest to.
@cwebber Perfect phrasing. I'm sure they'll sell a cheaper price plan if you get your kids to sign on to accepting your debts after you die, too.
@cwebber Every day radicalizes me more. I need to figure out what flavor of communist I am now.
