Thank you sir, I didn’t know the way to fix ailing welfare states was to make ChatGPT available to all.

It is truly the ultimate technofix.

    I love the way these idiots keep incrementing the number on their ChatGPT fantasy as if it’s a sufficient image of the future and it’s going to get everyone on board. Complete failure of imagination, don’t try to picture any actual use for it or anything, just make it… more.

    Sam Altman is trying to equate compute time with value but fails to see that value can be traded for goods and necessities. Wtf a lumberjack, carpenter, mechanic, plumber, steel worker going to do with compute?

      This is Sam “WorldCoin” Altman we’re talking about, I’m sure he assumes they can mine crypto with it.

    I will be so happy when we stop hearing about this “AI” nonsense for literally everything. The only good thing is that at least there are less wankers trying to throw “block chain” into everything

    Instead of Universal Basic Income, everyone should be given a small stipend to pay tribute to I, Sailor Sega Saturn. I demand tribute!

    Instead of Universal Basic Compute, where everyone gets a slice of GPT7’s compute and is about as useful to the average person as a waterproof mop, there should be Universal Basic Income, where everyone gets a guaranteed stipend so they aren’t required to work in order to have a quality existence, and would, to the average person, be about as useful as clean air.

    I’m gonna use my compute to break the encrypting that guarantees that everybody gets an equal slice an then the compute is all mine! MINE!!! My next step is going to be autotuning a proper evil villain laugh.

    Odd take, but if we zoom out,…

    access to internet, and functioning computing is increasingly important for everyone. It obviously doesn’t rank about healthcare, safe housing, and foundational income.

      nobody is obliged to construct a less stupid version of the stupid claim, though

      if he meant a less stupid version, he could easily have said that

        Extremely quotable and vastly applicable.

        This post may be the epitaph of our civilization.

        I’m speaking for myself, not him. People need internet and such, but it’s not the first thing on the list

          Yeah but has ‘lack of compute’ ever been an issue for people online? Really weird to do a 80/90’s university style supercomputer computing time per department distribution style system in 2030.

    I thought Thatcher on Acid was a band from the 80s, not the EAies’ approach to economic policy
