OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a podcast interview that "it's quite terrible" for people to have RAM in their own PCs when it could go into AI data centers.
With data centers full of RAM, your PC is apparently the problem.
…sigh…it seems people think that I’m siding with Sham Faultman here. I’m not.
There are, however, absolutely benefits to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Far better compute/watt and compute/dollar. Like…significantly. It makes a lot of sense for businesses to consolidate into VMs on a handful of large clustered servers, as opposed to running a bazillion pizza boxes each doing one thing.
There are also drawbacks to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Probably chief anong them being privacy and ownership of data. And that’s a big thing.
I don’t think you side with him, I’m just correcting that he also is wrong in his statement, which is incorrect and no it is not better to pool all compute into datacenters
Sorry, but telling something is “wrong” without any “correct” alternative is questionable, too.
As if, how are we sure it’s not trolling if no actual evidence/reference is stated by just “wrong”?
No it is also wrong

Correct is that anyone can own processing power
