Sam Altman is not having a good couple of weeks; ever since he said OpenAI’s ram needs are more important than consumer electronics, the internet has been unforgiving. But one man has taken …

    For the record, I have 38GB of RAM just sitting there doing fuckall at the moment. I don’t have any plans to put it to work this evening. I’m just gonna let it idle while I surf Lemmy, watch body cam videos, and drink beer. What a travesty for Sammy! Someone think of the poor cuck CEO!

    Anyone using that would probably very quickly get their email on a blocklist. Still, I appreciate the sentiment.

          Tell him how much of his own RAM is currently unused.

          …but then he probably knows how much is sitting in warehousing.

    There is no “unused” RAM in a Linux machine. RAM that is not allocated makes a wonderful disk cache, basically since the kernel knew block devices.

        I don’t think so. The people responsible will have their golden parachutes, while the rest of us will have to deal with the full blown recession.

    We could also save a lot of energy if we stopped using our brains, and instead have AI think for us.
    Did anyone ever think of that?

      Better yet, rent our unused brain space and let corporations use that wasted brain energy for their server farms … great income for the average person who seldom uses their brains. Then we could use that income to buy credits to have AI think for us … circle of life.

      In fact, the AI data centers can better use that energy. If only there were some way we could capture the energy our body inefficiently generates and use it to help the data centers, almost like a battery.

      We could even feed back some of the energy we give to the data centers to put our minds at ease, perhaps by simulating a matrix of stimulus approximating, you know, the height of human civilization…

    I’ve just sent an email toward him to report that 2.32Gb of RAM was unused in my computer today.

    I will report every.single.day.

    FYI, the email is “ceo.admin@openai.com”
