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!
How the f do you have 38GB???
Probably two 19GB sticks. My board has all four slots populated for a total of 74GB.
Anyone using that would probably very quickly get their email on a blocklist. Still, I appreciate the sentiment.

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?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’m thinking “late 90’s”
Somebody should make a movie about that. 😋
Just one, though. It’s a great premise but I bet they’d try to make it a trilogy or something and just fuck it up.
But if those creators enlisted a bunch of other folks to make anime adaptions/extended stories, I bet that would be okay.
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.
Way ahead of you

I was too busy not using my brain to think of that

When we set the upper limit of PC-DOS at 640K, we thought nobody would ever need that much memory. — William Gates, chairman of Microsoft

Man I might be a wierdo here, but I don’t want to give him free data. His company has stolen enough as it is.
Who says it has to be real data?
I like your thinking.
Throw open a bunch of cloud VMs
Tell him how much of his own RAM is currently unused.
…but then he probably knows how much is sitting in warehousing.
Here’s the unused ram that I keep laying around in a box. Can someone tweet it at Sam for me?

Get a load of Mr. Moneybags over here. They have memory AND a video card just laying around.
Man, these days that’s a dangerous pic. Gonna have roving ram gangs knocking down your door
I already have my pitchfork. 🔱
You mean X it?
How the F did this guy convince all the world’s richest people to invest in his chatbot?
“Hey guys, if we trade money back and forth for a couple years people will think we’ll be worth more and we can leverage our stock options to make shitloads of money we can use to take even greater control of the economy”
Rich people, by and large, incredibly stupid and narcissistic. They do not have the intelligence to understand how awful Ai is and they are easily duped by the promise that it will a) do their jobs for them and b) suck them off over how “smart” they are for asking basic questions the whole time.
by telling them it was gonna replace knowledge workers. people believe what they want to hear.
Because the chatbot felt human enough to trick many people into a hype.
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.

This will be the most satisfying bubble burst i’ve ever witnessed.
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.
Ram man Sam should fall into a Dam.
Based on the spelling on the Github page, I’m not running this. There’s an absolute lack of attention to detail advertised by the abysmal writing in the Readme. Say what you will, but red flags are red flags; and after a few decades we learn that sloppy writing is sloppy writing.
It’s a 287 line shell script; it’s pretty easy to read. It’s also very obviously LLM generated
287 lines to run

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”
I have a computer with 352 GB just sitting there doing nothing. I finally have a use for it!
Email him that you’re using it for local inference too, even if you aren’t.
Fucking RAM Burglar.
Well, sniffer. He sniffs for free RAM now. 🤭
