Man who can't stand not seeing his name in the news every single day, keeps talking

[–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 days ago

They didn't even change the photo for the article

[–] stardreamer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Let's be honest, we all keep talking. The question is who put a mic in front of this bumbling idiot.

Or who knows, maybe someone put a mic there to let him self-destruct. One can hope.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Fuck off Altman. Seriously. It's unfortunate your dad didn't hug you enough as a child but you didn't have to compensate by growing up to be a fuck head. He's still not going to hug you.

He has money so it must be important. Psychopathy is a virtue I'm told.

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Casually betting a trillion on the wrong horse.

CEO says bullshit like it wasn't his fucking job

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 88 points 3 days ago (4 children)

What qualifies this guy to make any predictions that are printable? He's just making random guesses.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago

It’s not random guesses, it’s intentional fictions to make investing in ‘AI’ companies sound like a good idea.

They think they can lie their way to real AI by convincing investors to pour enough money into them that poof real AI emerges.

They’re not going to get the poof they’re hoping for.

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Intellectual property thief is confidently wrong about a task he has no right or expertise to be performing anyway. The LLM didn’t fall far from the tree.

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 5 points 3 days ago

this guy to make any predictions that are printable?

That's what heads of State, heads of Corporations, heads of your HOA - are for: making public statements.

He’s just making random guesses.

Yeah, that's been all the rage for about a decade now.

Sam Altman is a danger to our entire planet

~~Sam Altman~~ Billionaires are a danger to our entire planet

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Let's hope he "sees the light" just before a new "Luigi" rounds the corner behind him.

Fingers crossed

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 70 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Just in, guy who allegedly raped his sister is wrong.

[–] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

~~Wasn't his sister also developmentally disabled? Is that right? CEO Billionaire Sam Altman violently raped his disabled sister then admitted to it like it was a relatable situation?~~

I was thinking of a different rich white guy that raped his sister.

Not every rich white guy, but seemingly always a rich white guy.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

Even if those accusations are false, the man still had a billion dollars while his sister was homeless.

Can we pop this bubble already?

[–] Marn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not until the ultra rich have enough ai robots to protect them from an uprising

Can we start a revolution already? Nope and nope

It's the token model that will kill it

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Honestly trying to treat token like watt is pretty crazy. Like a watt of power truly is a scientific standard. A bit of information is closer but again pretty standard, you know what are sending when you choose to send or receive a bit of data. Trying to apply a standard utilization rate to a unit of information in exchange for a non-deterministic rate, size, or quality back is nuts.

How do you meaningfully show an ROI on that?

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Once those bills start hitting company profits, companies will pull back

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I wonder how long they can keep the circus running though. They were obviously trying to vendor lock enterprise size businesses in before they eventually nuke the cost model, and Deepseek just preemptively slashed their cloud pricing probably knowing that everyone else will just migrate or even run on older cloud hardware which providers can sell by watt (and demand).

China might be behind on hardware, but their biggest wrench in the gears will probably just be popularizing their published LLMs which don't require multiple nuclear powerplants to run lol.

Some 8,000 people that just got laid off at Meta disagree.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That layoff was happening regardless

[–] e461h@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

And it’s still fair to call out Meta for using that as bs cover.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He’s delighted that the jobs apocalypse is underway when he predicted it wouldn’t happen. Okay, so?

This guy is such a tool. Can’t stand him!

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"I'm delighted to ⁠be wrong about this, I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs being eliminated by now than ​has actually happened," Altman told CBA Chief Executive Matt Comyn in a virtual interview at a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) conference in Sydney (via Reuters).

...he says after two years of some of the biggest tech layoffs in history that have impacted numerous tech businesses.

Maybe he just means he knows the companies are lying about layoffs for AI and it's just an excuse to cut labor, but I doubt it.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Yeah the job market is teetering and quite frankly I think the numbers coming out are a little cooked these days, because they paint a rosier picture than I see around me.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Oligarch tries to walk back claims to prevent backlash from investors and the general public.

[–] underThunder@thelemmy.club 19 points 3 days ago

"I'm delighted to be wrong" is not something I want to hear from someone who has such an outsized impact on my perception of reality.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He still needs to be scheduled for a guillotine fitting. I'm sure there is one in his size.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Dude seems just so out of touch at this point. You can't make confident threats about the technology and then just go 'oops haha'

So hard to find a good plumber

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

So easy to find a goomba.

[–] Antaeus@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Sam Altman should shut up. He is partly to blame for this.

Selfish prick.

[–] HarneyToker@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

CEO of tech company talks about slop.

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 11 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Sam allotment has the eyes of a man the ai has been using as a meat puppet for a year.

This spelling error was brought to you by swype. Any decent keyboards or there?

[–] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 6 points 3 days ago

I've been using Heliboard on Android for a while now and like it, basically FOSS swipe keyboard.

Currently uses Google's closed-source swipe library which you have to manually download, but they're actively working on crowd sourcing an open source one which you can contribute to in the app.

No bro, companies are not replacing workers with AI, we are delusional.
