"We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter..." -- Sam Altman

I'm not claiming that they're right, that you are actually buying "intelligence" from them by the meter, I think that's misleading.

But also, the fact that that's the *framing* goes to show to you that they absolutely, completely want it to be, and want to sell intellectual slavery, as far as they can get it.

don't say that too loud or some techbro will try to invent artificial water...

[lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me]

@cwebber And Altman is all out of it

@cwebber

they'd have no moral problem hoarding all the oxygen.

[meeper@udongein.xyz]

@cwebber wtf does that even mean these are just words with the impression of meaning

[mfierst@mstdn.social]

@cwebber
This depends on his particular definition of "intelligence".
It is likely that I am using a different definition.

@cwebber Every day radicalizes me more. I need to figure out what flavor of communist I am now.

@PetterOfCats abso-fucking-lutely

@wjmaggos @cwebber one very good reason not to go to Mars with these people

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@cwebber I would like 0.21 intelligence please

[john@vyrse.social]

@cwebber Perfect phrasing. I'm sure they'll sell a cheaper price plan if you get your kids to sign on to accepting your debts after you die, too.

[moira@mastodon.murkworks.net]

@PetterOfCats Or really more specifically, since he _does_ cover that - and even says it's bad - it's arguably worse. "We see a future where we control all thought and metre it out for payment, and everyone is already enslaved."

@lykso @cwebber can always be an anarchist instead. never too late

[xgebi@hachyderm.io]

@cwebber does he look sleep deprived only to me? He also sounds exhausted.

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@cwebber it's wild how white men get in these positions despite having the charisma of a wet sack of potatoes

[cxberger@mastodon.boiler.social]

@cwebber funny, I recall OpenAI repeatedly saying "too cheap to meter" in the past. Hypocrisy is nothing new from them ofc, but, y'know.

[greyduck@wellduck.me]

@cwebber They're inventing a market that they can corner, or at least try their damnedest to.

[lykso@tiny.tilde.website]

@elexia @cwebber Yeah, that's fair. I'm somewhere on that spectrum, but I haven't read enough of either's literature to have a clear idea of where I fall. I'm not a humanist, which seems to make many anarchist positions difficult, but I also recognize that the State is fundamentally a protection racket.

If I say any more, I'm definitely going to say something stupid (if I haven't already!). Better for me to listen, I think.
