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.
“ChatGPT 7, please make me a sandwich, I’m hungry.”
As an AI language model, I cannot make a sandwich or any food for you.
However, because you have indicated that you are broke af, which is illegal in the State of Missouri, this conversation and your IP address has been reported to the state police.
Instead of Universal Basic Income, everyone should be given a small stipend to pay tribute to I, Sailor Sega Saturn. I demand tribute!
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.
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.

People without an imagination trying to imagine what a prosthetic imagination would look like
Just wait til they figure out what number comes after 7. IOS is up to like what, 20? There’s a lot of numbers they have to learn before they can compete with the big boys.
The greatest version number war of our age is between Chrome and Firefox, nowadays both of which get a major version bump around once a month. Firefox is on 125 and Chrome is on 124.
Seems ridiculous since a full version updates used to mean something
Ubi is meant to provide people with basic survivability in an increasingly automated world.
I cannot imagine a worse idea than putting basic survivability in the hands of a shareholder bound corporation.
Can’t wait for the mental gymnastics forthcoming about water and energy use.
Oh, they won’t be issues. Well be drinking Compute straight from the can, and all our appliances will run on direct Compute inputs. You’ll get home from your job earning 10 Compute/hr at the Compute factory, pay the standard 120 Compute charge to unlock your front door, hop onto your Compute Generation Dynamo for an hour to power the oven, and then settle down on the sofa for the evening to see what’s on Soravision - discounted to 7 Compute/hr for GPT+ subscribers.
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
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.
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.
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.
