Kudos to the moderation team for finally putting a line in the sand for calls (and celebration) of violence. Much needed.

As for Altman, just tone deaf. I would love to use my computer more than 5% of the time, but I have a job, family, house, etc. At the end of the day we have just as much right to ram as they do. Reminds me of commercial fishery complaining that I keep a few fish a year, while they kill hundreds of thousands.

If you want to give your PC more use, you can always join Folding@Home to give your computing power away when you're not using it to help find cures to several diseases or other projects that benefit all of us.

It would certainlyt be more beneficial than allowing OpenAI to have our RAM for its own profit.



Please excuse my bad English.

Former gaming PC: i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Current gaming PC: R5-7600, 32GB RAM 6000MT/s (CL30) and a RX 9060XT 16GB

that is kind of cool, i will need to look into it, I certainly wouldn't have a problem supporting some good research.

I'm more interested in people's water supplies getting strained by the amount data centers use.
I don't think there is ever a worse time to build a PC for gaming or any other use. The prices are out of hand.
