“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water & people buy it from us on a meter.”

- Sam Altman

As someone whose books were taken without permission to train OpenAI, I have a problem with this.

How can a company claim to own work it didn’t create & sell it back to us?

Sam Altman Says Intelligence Will Be a Utility, and He's Just the Man to Collect the Bills

"Intelligence too cheap to meter" doesn't quite come across the way Altman might intend.

@Sheril this can't be emphasized enough.

They're nothing but thieves and grifters. Governments and law institutions are doing almost nothing. All in the name of "progress." Altman and the other snake oil merchants keep promising them things they don't understand. And instead of surrounding themselves with knowledgeable people, they just buy the fools gold, no questions asked, either hoping it's real or scared they'll be left behind if they don't.
