The case got thrown out last week because she refused to to attend an independent medical examination
BBC News - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wins dismissal of sister’s lawsuit
Don’t just post Sam’s side
Annie Altman could not fly to Boston for a court-ordered medical examination which would have assessed her mental health for evidentiary purposes.
Annie has multiple long-term serious health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She says she was not well enough to fly, due to symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (a group of inherited conditions that affect the body’s connective tissue) and recent orthopaedic surgery, and had a doctor’s note explaining that she was unable “to ambulate” – a medical term meaning she was unable to walk independently. Annie had also offered to cover the costs of flying Sam’s lawyers to a location closer to her hometown in order to fulfil the medical examination requirement. She also offered to do the assessment via video conference.
Bluestone, who is a relatively recent Trump appointee and member of the conservative legal Federalist Society, dismissed the case via a court order https://www.thenerve.news/p/sam-altman-annie-altman-sexual-abuse-allegations-openai-ceo-civil-case-deposition-family-dismissal
an llm told me, so it must be true
Trust bro
true vro 🙏
Never doubt the internet bro, unless it’s AI.
Control freak.
Would the planet be better off if everyone ran their own models locally and bypassed data centers? Seems like it would, but there may be other factors.
It’s probably the case that a data center is better at running an AI than a home PC, they’re crazily optimised. I also doubt it would be more cost effective, unless you were using the hardware all day.
Kinda like folding at home.
Yes and no, it’s hard to say.
Individual things will always be less efficient than mass produced things.
Food
Factory produced items.
Electric vs Gasoline cars.
Local vs central models.
But also, people might use it less frivolously if they are footing the bill directly. Plus, you will still need a data center somewhere in the chain to train the models, you cannot train models on local hardware. Not with any level of meaningful usefulness (AI hate it’s never useful blah blah aside).
The main advantages of local AI are two things. First Privacy, which is huge. No stealing your prompts of tracking what you ask about for ads or potential abuse by fascist assholes etc. Second, it’s not edited or censored (with the right model). You can ask it whatever you want from Tianamen Square to making bombs, to naked pictures of your favorite celebrity etc. If this is good or not is debatable, but it’s one of the two main reasons local is better.
I will never, pay for Open AI.
I might, in some future, pay for Claude, but not OpenAI.
But also very much probably not on Claude either.
claude is just as bad, they are trying to get AI regulated so they will be the only ones charging people for thier services, they know the bubble is about to bust.
You think Dario Amodei is any better than this?
I think Claude is actually useful for things I need it to do sometimes while Open AI is very much not (coding). Open AI is often wrong in simple ways it should not be. Claude is really great at iterative building.
I will begin hand scribing everything into clay tablets before I pay for any AI.
Who has decided to let these nerds run wild? We the people really need to pull the leash on these dorks.
Neoliberal policies did.
In his defense, open weight models really fucked with his entire business model. Do you know how much more profitable Open AI and Anthropic would be if Meta had never released llama and then Chinese companies hadn’t fine-tuned llama and released their own models? What he’s saying makes no sense at all, but… it’s understandable for him to be biased on this… Because but for Meta, of all companies, there wouldn’t be open weighted models.
It’s also something to remember whenever being annoyed with Meta.
“Rent-seeking psychopath desires all the rent”
Literally the mentality of the English land-owning gentry enclosing the ancient commons and driving people off the land into dependency on them. It was bullshit then, and it’s bullshit now.
It’s straight up kleptoparasite mentality.
It’s been the central mentality of the owning class since the ability to individually own the means of production was conceived.
They won’t care about rent-seeking without their brains. There’s a simple solution to these problems, we just have to do it. It’s easy and fun, so I hear. I’m willing to be the first, I’ll accept those dirty hands
Digital Maoism Intensifies
It is the cyberfeudal lord’s wet dream. Can we skip the dark ages and go straight to the French Revolution?
Uhh that’s exactly what they want. The French revolution was just more rich assholes taking control. In this case it was the merchant class. The Techbro class definitely wants to take control. Also, the majority of people beheaded in the French revolution were commoners.
There’s not a whole lot of techbros I dislike more than this guy.
I don’t know, they all pretty much suck at this point. Is there any single one out there that is actually advocating to help humanity?
It’s like asking what variety of the ebola virus I’d like to have the least, I’m too busy bleeding out of my eyeballs to give much of a damn.
Hahahaha, damn, thats fucked but so true.
Wozniak was one tlof the good ones. I don’t know if he still is.
Yah, but that was before the llm/ai bull shit. Some companies even touted a do no evil slogan back then lol
This dude and Jared Kushner…they’ve got this face that just makes me want to punch the screen! I wonder why…
Don’t punch the innocent screen. punch a billionaire with the force to cause coma.
For (nearly) legal immunity, punch them with a car!
I’m picturing doing a falcon punch while hanging out of my car doing 100mph. I can dig it.
But but we set it up with a life like situation with a beer (we heard wageslaves drink it in those kind of places)?!! Don’t you bond with this fellow human?!
“Don’t get tap water at home. Drink the water I sell”
Fuck this guy
Soo-soo sook!
Uuuummm… Tap water is literally pooled resources.
I mean the analogy he’s making is more like “nobody should pump their own water, all water should be gotten from the municipal circuit”, but it’s obviously a faulty comparison that falls apart when you realise that 1. OpenAI is for profit and 2. different AI is not equivalent the way water is
Cory Doctorow predicted this fifteen years ago, although in a different context (transcript here).
Pipes are inefficient. If you want water, you should buy it from my big lake. Also, I should be able to set the price of water. Also, fuck these three people in particular, for using water in a way I don’t like.
Beware this guy.
He wants to rule the world for serious.
He’s probably moving more money than anybody else. He’s absolutely burning more money than anybody else.
If nobody stops him, then it’s going to be bad times that we cannot imagine yet.
We’re gonna end up living in Altmanverse. 🤭
Ready Player Garbage.
And there it is, the quiet part out loud. The “you’re gonna own a thin client with nothing else, AND YOU’RE GONNA LIKE IT!”
Yeah trust the opinions of someone who can’t even use their true voice. … Elizabeth Holmes wanna be
Why not just skip the ram altogether and go ahead and just send all the money to one person, too? Having it all in one account seems way more practical than spreading cash out all over the country.
Technically we’re almost there. There are like a few dozen parasitic assholes who have all the money, and if you graph the average person’s wealth alongside theirs, it rounds to 0. You’d need a really tall chart for that first pixel-height bar to render at all.
“But from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of
[dynamic RAM]food sitting in their owncomputerpantry,” he added.Sounds a bit evil, like the kinda thing a cartoon villain would say. Doesn’t matter if it’s food or RAM, he wants what is yours. His continued existence is a personal and direct threat against you, your family, and their safety.
We should give him what ge wants, and help him shed his corporeal shell and go into the computer
