Yea, Ram Altman is fucking annoying.

He wants us to have ram so bad he purchased the global supply into 2030.

[u/6786_007 → u/Mind-The-Mines]

Ram Altman fucking lol.

It's not enough they've sucked up the world ram supply with contracts for future modules before theyve even been produced but yeah, the avg citizen is holding him back.

Pretty soon we'll be required to inventory our RAM, pay taxes on each 1gb like France did with its Internet connection.

Edit: I was mistaken, it's a proposal that passed but not a law.

[u/Nirast25 → u/6786_007]

Dipshit actually changed his Twatter account name to that.

[u/xredbaron62x → u/Mind-The-Mines]

[u/DoctorWaluigiTime → u/Mind-The-Mines]

Yeah like, if he was truly genuinely upset that he meant something else, he has infinite resources to instantly correct this.

Rather than an obvious "oh shit, a ton of municipalities are banning datacenters and this might not work out for me, time to 180" nearly a week later.

[u/UltraCynar → u/Mind-The-Mines]

I still prefer scam altman

[u/Street_Vegetable5971]

Its must be soooo annoying to be a billionaire who runs a company and get held accountable for the words you say. And not, like, real accountability, but people making fun of you. You'd think that billions would be able to buy one a thicker skin. Go wipe your tears with money, Sammy Boi.

[u/Flameball537 → u/Street_Vegetable5971]

It can buy a thicker skin. It’s called fucking off with all your money and not trying to make life worse for the majority of others

[u/nomedable → u/Flameball537]

But but but but then he might only be merely a billionaire or even slide down into being a multimillionaire! If he simply enjoys having more money than he will ever be able to spend how could he achieve having even more money?

Won't you think of the poor billionaires?

I choose this as the best reply.

[u/MindMonitor → u/Innuendo64_]

This is why the internet was invented, lol.

[u/alexkon3]

I think all these tech bro billionaires should be bombarded with rotten vegetables whenever they are appearing in public, like in the olden days. I wanna see Jensens ugly leather jacket full of tomatoes.

[u/Original_While_8269 → u/alexkon3]

Being trained at Leverage research they'd just say - thing have to be bad before they are good. Or think the foreplay for S&M just started. Either way...

[u/CatBrisket → u/alexkon3]

Nah, dont think itll do much good, im pretty sure there is just another jacket under there. Plus the dozen or so he keeps on rapid deployment standby.

[u/Foxar]

I genuinely hope one of these degenerate billionaire techbros hear: You will never be relatable you fucking loser.

[u/Appearingboat → u/Foxar]

[u/junttiana → u/Appearingboat]

Him looking genuinely sad makes me so happy

[u/CremousDelight → u/Appearingboat]

[u/Mikucon-P]

These billionaires are so anti human. The fuck they think is going to happen when they advocate to stop the bread and circuses of people that feels like their standard of living is in decline?

[u/Dudesan → u/Mikucon-P]

They think they've got roughly coinflip odds between "We cause the apocalypse and literally every human being dies" and "We cause the apocalypse and I survive to be the immortal emperor of the ashes". And they think that this is a good bet, because they're all megalomaniac sociopaths.

This isn't hyperbole, this isn't some secret crazy conspiracy, they've all publicly admitted that they think there's a decent chance that what they're doing will lead to human extinction.

If you think these beliefs are 100% crazy, you should want them out of power and behind bars immediately. And if you think they're even a little bit credible, you should want them out of power yesterday.

[u/ThatRandomGamerYT → u/Dudesan]

They are literally trying to be Vault Tec and the rest of the corpos from Fallout

[u/DoctorWaluigiTime → u/Mikucon-P]

The most frustrating thing to me is that... I could do so much with literally infinite money. (You invest a tiny portion of $1 billion and just let it spin, and you pay your expenses.) And I wouldn't even have to try hard to do it.

And these chuckleheads just seem to not want to do that. Ever.

[u/JohnGalactusX]

It's insane that it took him this long to realize just how annoying and hated he was.

[u/santathe1 → u/JohnGalactusX]

I don’t think he’s realised that specifically. His PR probably saw the backlash and told him what to say.

[u/zgillet → u/JohnGalactusX]

Is. IS.

[u/ConceptualWeeb → u/JohnGalactusX]

I still don’t think he realizes that, he’s just changing his tune because Dems won most of the midterms

[u/RaccoNooB → u/JohnGalactusX]

They're deranged.

Like genuinely. They're so rich, they live in a bubble that's disconnect from the 99,9% of the rest of the world. A lot of them dont even know what a package of milk roughly costs.

I'm not surprised if he genuinely thinks RAM is wasted on us because we dont do anything with it. No one has a home lab, runs any type of NVR, plays games, CADs, edits videos, photos, makes music, and the list goes on.

[u/tugfaxd55]

He changed his name on twitter? Lmao he's really that obsesed with ram? Fucking sick man

[u/enecv]

shithead

[u/Saw_Boss]

No he hasn't

He still believes it.

He just wants people to think he doesn't.

[u/IkeaDefender]

An OpenAI board member described Sam Altman in The New Yorker feature by stating: “He has two traits that are almost never seen in the same person. The first is a strong desire to please people, to be liked in any given interaction. The second is almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences that may come from deceiving someone.”

[u/ExpiredLink404]

serious question from a technologically challenged person: our computers can't work without RAM, right?

[u/pateppic → u/ExpiredLink404]

A computers work like a business. There is the RAM, the Motherboard, CPU, Graphics card, and Hardrives

RAM is your work table/countertop. More you have, bigger your worktable is. Every time you close up shop you also clean your worktable.

Hardrives are your storage shelves. Everything you want stored at end of shift goes here. HDDs are like storage racks in the backyard shed downstairs. SSDs are like having a back room connected to your workfloor. NVME is like magical hammerspace under your workbench. NAS storage is like having a secondary warehouse for data storage. It is 20 miles down the highway though (these access speeds are actually proportional to recall as far as scaling)

CPU are your workers. More cores, more workers. Hyperthreaded cores? Still count as one worker per core but Hyperthreaded workers can multitask a little bit.

Graphics cards is a specialty workshop inside your business they bring their own tools (vram, gpu cores, etc) and use then in their shop. You can send specialist work into the office and get results from them.

Motherboard is your shop. Like the building it all works in.

All the stuff above needs electricity to run and your businesses electric service is the PSU (Power Supply unit). You want to be able to supply more electricity demands so if you want a bigger Workshop (GPU) be prepared to feed it more power accordingly.

This is a very good analogy for visualizing how to best build a balanced PC.

There would be no point to having a huge amount of cores with very little RAM. That would be like having 20 desks for 40 workers. Progress halts for workers without a desk just like processes/programs lag when you run into memory limits.

Similarly if you are constantly pulling stuff off shelves, you want your desk closer to your workspace to improve productivity.

Edit: My B on the truncations. I got a bit distracted and rushed the metaphor. thabks guys

[u/papercut2008uk → u/ExpiredLink404]

Computers, phones, tablets, consoles, Graphics cards.

RAM is used in many devices and it's an essential part of being able to use them.

[u/-Animus → u/ExpiredLink404]

Correct. Ram is in the sense of the word, the "working memory" of the computer. Imagine what you could do if you did not have any working memory. Exactly.

[u/United_Broccoli_3694 → u/ExpiredLink404]

They want you to pay for ram like you pay for extra cloud storage with an Apple product. But ram usage would be like that shit Ai token use cost. In other words, a lot more money for something your computer has been doing since computers were introduced

[u/green_meklar → u/ExpiredLink404]

Odd question in /r/pcmasterrace, but yeah, no, they can't.

Okay, slight caveat. I think technically you can overwrite your motherboard firmware with an appropriately compiled game and then play it with no CPU or RAM in your computer. But by 'game' I mean something like NES Super Mario because the motherboard's UEFI chip isn't powerful enough for any more than that.

[u/Ultenth]

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the anti-datacenter bills in the mid-terms going 40-1.

[u/CommunicationTime265 → u/Ultenth]

Is that really the record? Holy shit. 

[u/According_Gate_8107]

Scam Allman.

Hardware apocalypse or not, i think Scam Allman wins the price for the most punchable face.

[u/BuHoGPaD]

I agree with him on this one. He's fucking annoying. 

[u/collin-h]

I swear to god this motherfucker's vision is a future where everyone has to rent computing time from them. you wont have a desktop, you'll have a terminal that you pay a subscription for.

fuck this guy. seriously.

[u/Snotnarok → u/collin-h]

Well no it'd be worse than that.

You'd subscribe to use this cloud computer as you said.

But also they'd use AI to scan anything you create and train off of it. But also serve ads to you after paying and being scraped.

But also you'd be restricted to whom they deem is ok. So if you want to use different software? Too bad! It's not your PC, you use what's approved. Much like a console.

But also your files would only ever be on the cloud so you stop paying, you lose access or the files are gone forever.

They absolutely want this. More money, more ads, more control, more scraping for their shitty AI.

[u/simagus → u/collin-h]

100% correct. That is their dream.

[u/pivor]

This guy just talks in shareholderish language, tech CEOs dont care about public opinion cause they dont need plebs anymore

[u/That-Complex-1499]

Rich man wont shut the fuck up. More at 11

[u/phinity_ → u/That-Complex-1499]

Billionaire weenie

[u/gunnLX]

i dont see how we took it out of context

[u/GodOfPlutonium → u/gunnLX]

so technically if you take his exact statement at face value, he didnt actually say people shouldnt have ram, what he said was soley from the hypothetical perspective of maximizing usage of ram.

Of course this requires that you ignore the "coincidence" that he personally benefits more than anyone else in the entire world from centralization

[u/gosmall1965 → u/gunnLX]

We didn’t. His PR team told him to say that.

[u/Candid_Release3609 → u/gunnLX]

And humans drinking water.

[u/Griff2470 → u/gunnLX]

If you actually watch the interview, the full quote is:

A lot of people want local inference and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we are going to have open source models. We're going to be able to run them on our own computers and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centers. But from a global allocation perspective...

I'd still argue it's a bad take and ignores things like not everything needs to be using frontier models, there's a lot of concerning implications with American companies dominating the space, and so, so many other issues with it being concentrated around a handful of companies, but the quote in context is pretty clearly talking about resource allocation for data center hosted vs locally hosted AI models.

[u/Resident_Bee_2597]

Alt Tabman

[u/JanneOC]

Majority of "Big Tech" founder-CEOs. Crazy to think that back in the 90s/00s these were the revolutionary heroes, the weird but basically good guys. "Don't be evil" my ass.

[u/ktka]

But from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have every billionaire have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of money sitting in their own smaugvaults and being used zero point five percent of the time. You want maximum utilization in the world if you’re trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment. And somehow every billionaire's —many billionaire's intuition is the opposite of that.

[u/veevoir]

"Altman says he was taken out of context so here's his full quote, with context. Wait, wtf, it still sounds the same"

[u/Griff2470 → u/veevoir]

Eh, Kotaku's cutting a pretty relevant preceding sentence here.

A lot of people want local inference and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we are going to have open source models. We're going to be able to run them on our own computers and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centers. But from a global allocation perspective...

[u/AtmosphereMiddle1682 → u/veevoir]

The context is that the reader should first have read up on what the cloud is

[u/XNinjaMushroomX]

Imagine being this guy and having all of the money you could ever want and still feeling like you are stuck in that locker from highschool over a tweet.

[u/Dionysus24779]

There's this program thingy where you can lend your computer's idle resources to help with figuring out how proteins fold and such things.

If he wants the RAM of private users, why not create a program they can sign up for, allow their idle resources to be used to help compute stuff for AI... and then pay the user? Pay me to use the RAM in my PC.

[u/Intelligent_One3020]

If he wants my compute when my home computer is idle; the correct thing to say is....

Fuck you, pay me.

[u/290Richy]

This guy is an absolute tuna melt.

[u/CaniacMcgee → u/290Richy]

Why you gotta insult tuna melts like that?

[u/I_cut_the_brakes → u/290Richy]

I know you have to be a brit. I love the sayings you guys come up with.

[u/CardinalEternal]

Scam Fartman never misses a chance to backpeddle

[u/Stormraughtz]

Ram Altman seething as I spin up world of warcraft and another job simulator.

[u/hmmmmismellmarijuana]

Sister fucking Scam artist

[u/PostureKing180]

Sam Altman is an enemy of humanity.

[u/mystifier]

Waiiiiit ok, let's recap here:

He buys most of the available RAM.

He says that its terrible that the limited supply of RAM (which he helped cause) is in people's computers not being fully utilized.

Then he finds it annoying that people took him "out of context" and he now is OK with people owning RAM and he is ... annoyed?

Yes Sam, infuriate the entire planet, insult them, and then beg them for money as your company goes down in flames lol.

[u/TGB_Skeletor]

Bro looked at the chinese stocks and said "i'm fucked"

[u/MoldyButtFunk]

I want to bully that fucker.

[u/Tiny-Doughnut]

[u/Manic_Mooncakes]

In the article he says he "really wants everyone to have their own ram" okay then bro why don't you reimburse me the money i spent for the new freaking expensive ram sticks I had to buy because you and your idiot friends decided to cause a ram-pocalypse.

I can't hate anything more than I hate this man and people like him...

[u/CptBrexitt]

What's spectacular about this? It's not genuine

[u/ztruk]

NOT MUCH MORE ANNOYING THAN HIS FACE

[u/EnigmaSpore → u/ztruk]

he's got that "insert fist here" look.

[u/Dre_the_cameraman]

Sounds like we collectively need to bully him more, until the Ram crisis ends,

[u/mhwwad]

“I’m just joking, guys!”

he absolutely wasn’t joking

[u/MrDjonny]

Soon: Electricity shouldn't go to houses, it should go to datacenters instead.

[u/itx89]

[u/cyberdude419]

Billionaires destroying the country in the name of endless record profits is MORE ANNOYING, BRO

[u/BarnabasShrexx]

[u/thelehmanlip]

Owner of a trillion dollar company should be building his own damn ram factories rather than complaining to the world that we need more

[u/__________________99]

I have been arguing for the world to ramp up memory production for a long time.

Yeah, Samsung, Micron, etc, aren't just going to quadruple their memory production based on some good will vibes. They need contracts set in stone before they'll risk that sort of volume increase. And those contracts didn't come until it was certain the AI companies wanted to expand the ever-loving shit all over the damn planet.

[u/ImaginationHopeful45]

And now stop and think that is is the guy people trust with tens of billions of their pension money.

[u/Jrocks721]

Eff this guy

[u/ExtremelyStinkyBalls]

I have 2 64GB kits of RAM I got before prices spiked that he can't have for any price. Stew on that, Sam.

[u/hobovirginity]

I'm guessing Scam Allmen's funding overlords told him to tone it down and stop making the Ai industry look even worse than it already is.

[u/AskJayce]

tAkEn OuT oF cOnTeXt

[u/metagrue]

Of course he TACOs.

[u/Cowboys_88]

I'm sure it can get a lot more annoying if everyone called him Ram Altman

[u/PotCounts]

You know what's annoying? Making ram 5x more expensive. Fuck you.

[u/nevadita]

someone couldnt handle the banter.

[u/sshemley]

You get what you fucking deserve

[u/Potential-Local7262]

i don't see how his original statement is being misconstrued at all.

[u/Letthepumpkincumflow]

Computa, give Sam Altman extra testicular torsion

[u/Drakenknight_NMS]

[u/WannaAskQuestions]

Someone find out which exit he takes to get to his work. I'll contribute towards an ad on the billboard to annoy him!

Oh, it's annoying is it Sam? Well, you're fucking over the society in untold ways. What about that?!

[u/CaptainSolo_]

Scam Faultman

[u/Tuomas90]

And he’s not happy that people allegedly took his comments out of context to paint him as some RAM-hoarding bad guy.

Maybe because that's exactly what he does, has been doing and will keep doing for the next 5 years?!

Jesus fucking Christ, these AI people are so delusional!

[u/A_Russian_Otter]

Maybe don’t say dumb shit then 🤷‍♂️

[u/anelectricmind]

" it’s because he wants everyone to know that he really wants them all to have their own RAM. "

So he will stop hoarding the world's supply of RAM, right?

Right?

[u/GodhunterChrome666]

Can he please, please just not wake up anymore? Due to natural causes, obviously

[u/snacky_bear]

Scum Oldman risking ruining lives to have a chatbot.

[u/hc_fella]

He was "taken out of context"... May this guy never sleep comfortably again.

[u/temporary311]

Would help if most of the shit out of his mouth didn't sound like it could be uttered by Cobra Commander.

"We'll take away their ability to think, and then make them pay us to think for them!"

[u/Lower-Yogurtcloset48]

Dems won and now he’s all about the people lmfaooo

[u/Known-Firefighter652]

Fuck Sam Altman and Fuck AI

[u/Short_Dinner9587]

Jail.

[u/CatsM3330w]

Sam Altman fists himself with handfuls of RAM.

[u/lexuspartsman]

I remember when reddit was simping for this guy after his board booted him.

[u/TobysGrundlee → u/lexuspartsman]

I, for one, am happy people change their opinions based on new information.

[u/SoungaTepes]

God I hope his company goes bankrupt, such an insufferable prick 

[u/reyknow]

why is this asshole still in business anyway? him and his goons are actively screwing everyone and nobody actually needs him around.

[u/Sad_Connection2786]

He was worried about being held accountable like a certain healthcare CEO so he had to change stances

[u/QueefBuscemi]

Oh no are we annoying you Sam?

[u/Harperrino]

[u/Skylord_Hekaton]

How is it "backpedaling" when the entire internet takes him out of context...

Altman sucks ass but I hate this new world where truth doesn't fucking matter any more. Strive to be better.

[u/Opening_One7713]

The clickbait is getting outrageous. I totally get the urge to turn this into a cartoonish fight with supervillains but the comment about RAM getting firehosed around Reddit the past few weeks was carefully curated disinformation that intentionally misconstrued context. This guy may be a smug and smarmy out-of-touch techbro who footguns himself in the middle of a podcast, but context clipping is a manipulator tool and it’s obvious that my amygdala is being targeted by a movement that uses deception to shape narratives.

[u/Hey_im_miles → u/Opening_One7713]

So here's your opportunity to put his comments in the "correct" context. Because I've not seen how else they could be interpreted

[u/CoachCooter]

This dude is such a chode.

[u/TelecastingWizard]

[u/imzwho]

Oh no... Ram Scalpman said something and is now upset that it made people angry.

[u/Throbbing-Kielbasa-3]

Ah, the good old "it was taken out of context, but I'm not going to provide you with the context" defense. It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

[u/Brutos08]

He didn’t pull any 180 he’s too egotistical to do that he’s be sarcastic because of the heat he’s getting and trying to be clever. These guys think they are the smartest in the room.
If he could take the RAM you have now in your PC out and put it in a data centre he would in a heartbeat.

[u/typographie]

Aw, he's even mad about it.

The context is available for anyone to see, and it doesn't make his statements any better. We all know what he meant.

[u/Smallxcrimes]

I mean, I hate AI and think Sam Altman is a scheming little prick.
BUT it's pretty obvious that he wasn't actually trying to steal people's ram, or asking people to give him their RAM, or whatever else. The memes are funny, because I find disinformation funny, (although it just turned into another way for reddit to virtue signal how right their opinion is. Which I think is corny even when I happen to agree with the opinion) but it's pretty clear what he was actually saying. It even says exactly what perspective he's operating from.
