Sam Altman: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
Meaning: We stole all your knowledge , writing, and art, and now we’re gonna put a meter on it and sell it back to you. You’re welcome.”
In response to that post about Altman’s ‘future of intelligence', @Kierkegaanks suggested I watch the movie Idiocracy. (Thank you!)
I did last night, and I’d recommend it.
It's technically a comedy, but also a disturbingly accurate preview of the United States and its proud, ongoing project of engineering stupidity.
@rubinjoni @Kierkegaanks Agreed, it's not the best introduction.
Still, the point connects to a broader issue.
The basic ability to reason, decide, and choose, particularly when it comes to women deciding what happens to their own bodies.
@Climatehistories
Everybody will be stupid, but can buy intelligence as a service (IaaS). A donkey's world.
(IaaS is Dutch for the donkey's hee-haw's)
Nuke this guy from space. Such an arrogant POS. At least they're not hiding the world they want, so we can all actually see it and rebel against it.
In other words, we want to profit from your daily use of electrons, and control the medium.
It's the streaming model for computing. Intelligence has nothing to do with it, nor does conservation of energy or the environment.
It's like cloud computing services with no opt-out. These guys would charge people for air if they could. They have no concept of life outside their own control and enrichment.
@Climatehistories @lisamelton They’re all arseholes.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.

@Climatehistories “the best thing … is to just flood the market”
“Flood the zone” all over again, but “the zone” is nearly all of modern life
@Climatehistories
And what next?
Will you charge me for the air I breathe?
Will you charge me for the sunlight I use to see the world?
Will I need a subscription to feel my own emotions?
This is absolutely monstrous.
@Climatehistories the race to put humans in a zoo, what a goal.
From child prodigy to a race to be the one that puts humans in a zoo. Great look into our current trajectory. Who will wield the stick? https://www.tribecafilm.com/films/thinking-game-2024 https://youtu.be/d95J8yzvjbQ #DemisHassabis #AGI #AI #LLM #DeepMind #Google #Geopolitics #ProteinFolding #Science #ThinkingGame #MachineLearning #Energy
does the thing / thinking with intelligence also function without a meter ?
can i also only share it instead of selling it ?
Correction: we’ll sell you a revocable license for it. Piss us off and we’ll delete everything you know.
I worked in AI early in the century for a boss that when questioned about Artificial Intelligence replied that he needed all the help he could get.
@Climatehistories
Okay, that's it.
I'm seriously starting a new religion; I'm a Butlerian now.
Butlerianism, needless to say, is a religion of peace. But why, yes, we *do* aknowledge the concept of a rightful Jihad - what made you ask?
@Climatehistories what a cyberfascist POS!
