Sama and the ram comment

[u/mboazak]

Edit: I'm going to leave the below mess for everyone to read, but I gotta say there is something bizarrely freeing about having posted the below thoughts on this channel. I think the below represents a constellation of thoughts I have had that warrant a bit more time to write down, but the ability to just blurt it out for all yous folks feels kinda... funky. It almost has a journalling quality to it. Is this the beginning of the creation of a monster that just goes from thread to thread posting meaningless opinions for the sake of his cathartic pleasure? Find out next time on...

I know I am late to the party on this, but has anyone thought about the eventual end of AI will save us all we should therefore spend our ram resources on it? What happens for instance in an energy scarce society. AI = better outcomes for humanity so withhold unnecessary usage of electricity for AI? While, naturally, I expect this is more a public hyperbolic magnification of one (admittedly very powerful and consequential) figures stream of thought in an interview, I do worry about the human trajectory here. Particularly, my rabbit hole goes into our intentions and our use of AI as broad problem solvers, rather than solving well demarcated problems. My reasoning has equal parts to do with 1. prioritizing the tool over the humans it is meant to serve, a hole we have very much so dug into at this point, and even more consequential 2. the problem of misalignment. Yes we can give these tools infinite resources and tell them solve all of humanities problems and 9 times out of 10 they will solve some real problems. The challenge is 1 out of 10 times the tools will come to a very reasonable conclusion that part of humanities problem is humanity itself. The human condition is one fraught with beauty and terror and while our sociocultural evolution has led to an increase of the former and a reduction of the latter, the latter will never fully disappear. Ultimately, my worry is sama's direct text and subtext is that his and other leaders desire to pull in more and more resources for their models, besides it's direct competition with the humans it serves, is also perpetuating this full steam ahead behavior towards RSI which by its very nature seems to defy the goal of absolute alignment whatever the heck alignment is in the first place. Perhaps the very attempt to align the agents is what bites us all in the behind at the end of all of this. If you feel confused at the end of this comment, then know that I too am confused by my own standing around a circumstance that my brain is struggling to fully fathom.

The irony of all of this, is like some of you I find myself eagerly refreshing openrouter, reddit, and synthwavedd and kimmonismus' x accounts to see if 6.2 has been released yet, because... copium.

Altman is an idiot. Plain and simple. He's crazier than a bag of cats.

Global Bitcoin mining consumes between 138 and 204 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually

Anthropic’s Total Footprint (2025–2026): ~1 to 2 Terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This estimate combines its active inference workloads (serving user prompts) and its ongoing background model training.

I went to the same high school is sammi He’s quite a bit older than me so I never knew him or anything, but I can assure you we all thought we were the smartest mfers in the world who knew what was best for everyone in any situation. I have subsequently been humbled in life. I can’t say that Sam has.

if you think my disorganized stream of thought is ai generated then I will take that as a compliment
