Well, well, pardon me, Sam
How remiss of us not to arrange society for optimum RAM use. You're right, that was selfish.
Sam Altman thinks that you having a personal computer, using resources autonomously to do whatever you want and live your life, is tragically selfish and inefficient.
…from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time.
You want maximum utilization in the cloud if you’re trying to deal with this very supply constrained environment. And somehow everyone’s— many people’s intuition is the opposite of that.”
The thing is, he’s right. If the purpose of being alive is to make sure we are using RAM as efficiently as possible and ensuring the commercial viability of OpenAI, that is.
