Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to sell intelligence like a utility
During a recent appearance at BlackRock in Washington, D.C., OpenAI’s Sam Altman, shared his vision for the future of AI. At one point saying, “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
Altman was describing a world where AI becomes a foundational infrastructure, something woven into everyday life so deeply that consumers and businesses simply “plug into” it the same way they rely on electricity, Wi-Fi or running water.
Snake oil salesman is saying that snake oil is a cure for everything.
So basically a world in which the only ideas that exist are approved by AI companies? I know evocations of 1984 have been a cliche for ages but
The wording also struck a nerve because many AI models were trained on enormous amounts of publicly available internet data such as books, articles, forums and creative work created by millions of people who were never directly compensated.
That’s much too kind. We were never indirectly compensated, either.
and creative work created by millions of people who were never directly compensated.
That’s much too kind. We were never indirectly compensated, either.
We were never even asked for permission to use our works and words.
Stealing your original work so you can pay for a regurgitated version of it.
There are plenty of people with solar panels and wells. The beauty of the internet and mobile compute is having the wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips. It’s DIY, but easy. Just Google it (RIP Google). If the goal is centralization and control, chat with IBM. They have their place, but it was a slow crawl out of the muck they put themselves in. Someone will always come along and realize that ease and accessibility are key to the end user, and they’ll kick your whole business out from under you, every time.
Stop buying up all the chips you worthless piece of shit.
Lmao, Sam Altman wouldn’t know what intelligence looked like even if it came up and punched him in the face.
Putting aside that what they sell is not even inteligence: if they are providing a utility, then let’s regulate them like a utility, e.g. electricity distribution
Why does he keep calling it “intelligence”? It’s not intelligent. Even calling it AI is a stretch. It’s an LLM.
Also, intelligence already means something else. When phrased like it is in this context, it sounds like he’s talking about selling espionage.
But then again, telemetry and adware are essentially espionage. So maybe that is what he means…
Flimflam Sam says…
🥱
Luckily, people who don’t buy intelligence from him tend to have enough already.
Is this guy a clone of Bryan kohberger?? They look like they’re brothers or clones or something.
Ollama
Unbelievably naive.
that assumes they actually believe the shit they’re peddling. aint called scam altman for nothing
Altman will say anything to keep the scam alive
Yeah chatgpt used to be leader in tech now it’s nothing , no one is buying AI corporates maybe normal user no
Every motherfucker who went “what am I ever gonna USE this for?!” in computer classes in school are the same ones who like this magic man’s funny words and “save so much time writing emails” and say shit like “Yeah but what are we gonna do? That’s progress!”
I have lost respect for so many people.
I think that’s the problem, most people think this is movie A.I. and it can do anything. In reality it’s just a tool like the computer is a tool. I use A.I. all the time to help me do my work, I don’t use it to do my work.
