    We could build hundreds of thousands of homes for families that need them, but it goes to stealing water, power, and land instead.

    Oh you own all silicone production for a couple years?

    Yeah you ain’t got shit kid. I own the entire output of humanity from 2035 to infinity and beyond. I declared it was all for me, and a couple really really big wigs agree with me. So that means it is very real, and very legal and very not a monopoly.

    So, you wanna rent everything you used to own from me? to bad, you cant afford it. See you in my prison slave camps later sucker.

    There are reports going around that an AR-15 is now cheaper than current RAM sticks. We could sell our RAM sticks and pay Sam Altman a visit.

    So now that people are boycotting Open AI over their partnership with the US Department of Defense, will that extend to these corporations who are enabling Open AI and their bad policies?

    We are grateful for the support from our partners and have a lot of work to do to bring you the tools you deserve.

    What about the ram and storage I deserve?

      Exactly. Nobody asked for AI.

      What we ask for is cheap storage and RAM.

      They are taking away something we want, and replacing it with something we don’t want.

        eh, I look at as: we already paid for cheap storage and ram, but the AI buildouts are gobbling those markets up instead of creating their own supply chains.

          The people that didn’t have a chance to buy cheap storage and RAM yet didn’t pay for it, did they? Not everyone bought components before the shortage. I bought a whole beast PC, so I was lucky, but not everyone had such timing.

      Naaaa you think you deserve that but in reality you don’t need that. You’ll soon see how their products and tools make ram and storage redundant for you. I’m sure

    It’s easy. You buy a set of ram on Amazon and put your old sticks in the box when you return it.

    I upgraded half the parts in my computer this way over a year ago. We really need to promote stealing from large corporations. It’s silly how many people are still following the rules of society when they aren’t.

        Over a year later. Falls under petty theft which has a statute of limitations of a year in my state. I’m not losing sleep over it.

        And this is all theoretical for internet points. I’d never actually do something like that. Never never never. Not even once.

        I also don’t weight every fruit and vegetable at self checkout as a potato (lowest cost per weight item usually). I’d never ever do that.

        Nice. Zero victim crime.

        The bonus for me is that the GSkill RAM i got is now a part of a class action settlement on their RAM speeds being advertised falsely. No idea how much I can get “back” but gonna try.

        Working overtime on taking a little bit back from what they steal from us in taxes alone.

    This is absolutely insane to me. AI is destroying society.

    Now is the time to stand by your principles. And if you don’t have principles, maybe raise some. Become anti-consumption and remove yourself from capitalism, as much as possible. Hate those people. You should hate them as much as possible.

      It sucks too, because the power for pattern recognition and identification behind Machine Learning is incredible, and if we were being more responsible with it, we could be using it only for truly valuable purposes like early cancer detection, assistant tools, proofreading etc, instead of training it to plagiarise other people’s work and kill people somewhere.

        100% agree. What alpha fold did, which had to do with protein folding, was awesome. But ya, then comes capitalism and the idiocy and comfort-seeking of society and ruins everything for everyone.

      They want to destroy society, and build a new one in its place. Preferably one, that comes without this pesky feature called “empathy”.
