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.
What you get is not dollars, but like productivity.
Interesting. Interesting theory Altman.
What if the dollars went to the people who generated that productivity, perhaps?
And remove those dollars from those who have the most of them?! What are you, actually crazy?! You’re clearly crazy.
Clearly the dollars should go to the people who tell others what to do, and thus stand at the base of increasing productivity, how else would the plebs know what to do. A telling others what to do economy, or perhaps if you will a command economy.
What if we had something to represent that productivity? Like, pieces of paper in various denominations. You could just trade them for whatever goods or services you needed.
Is he trying to reframe the concept of a free trial as if it’s some altruistic thing?
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.
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.
Instead of Universal Basic Income, everyone should be given a small stipend to pay tribute to I, Sailor Sega Saturn. I demand tribute!
I will do anything for you, Segata Sanshiro!

This is part one of enshittification: You give your service away to get users, and cater to their wishes. Then once they’re hooked you can do whatever you want because they can’t leave.
Just more technofeudalism from a technofeudalist.
it’s more insidious: it’s not giving it away. it’s subverting the “hmm UBI is good actually” argument and saying that people should receive compute instead of money, with a quiet “oh and naturally someone will have to pay us for providing them that compute”
not that I’d bet against them pulling a lock-in move down the line as well (or upsells or any number of other exploitation plays), mind you
Let me sell mine for bread/rent

I thought Thatcher on Acid was a band from the 80s, not the EAies’ approach to economic policy
personally, I’m in favor of it. imagine all the use cases. shouldn’t take long
so when you can’t get the retail and/or enterprise markets to give you enough money to get dem gainz you were hoping for on your grift, ah yes naturally it should be government money that bails you out. got it.
Hey it worked for that other fascist guy
Hasn’t there been internal email and chat logs leaked showing that he knows he’s completely full of shit and just trying to make the most fucking money at any cost?
That’s convicted fraudster sam, different sam. Easy mistake, you can usually tell them apart by the hair.
I’m not aware of any, got a source?
