Sam Altman says an AI glut is inevitable, maybe in 2-3 years, maybe 5-6, and likely more than once Costs have fallen 40x per year per unit of intelligence, which strains infrastructure "if breakthroughs continue, personal AGIs could run on laptops" We expect demand to grow,

@slow_developer Then what happens to massive giga AI clusters after AGI gets live ?

@slow_developer Snake oil salesman, there is no AGI AI is a superior search engine

@slow_developer Sam's being honest about the shakeout coming. Most startups betting on API access or generic models are dead already, they just don't know it yet. You need defensible applications or data moats.

@slow_developer Im sorry I fail to believe the theory you need only massive power and compute. The first needs to be a beautiful elegant code. A code the writes itself and grows on its on. Not a built cage of code that restricts at ever edge.

@slow_developer what will happen your personal AGI does not like your friend's personal AGI? who will mediate? Even worse, what if they get into a fight??

@slow_developer ai companies are beyond cringe

@slow_developer Sam Altman wishes openai was public just so doubters could short the stock and get burned...

@slow_developer When we get an agi. It will self learn. Cost will be time not money. Once AGI starts to use technology it can use LLMs as a knowledge source..quickening its comprehension. AGI won’t need continual human training cycles or expensive curated datasets. It will generate its own

@slow_developer The future is looking very bright or very dark haha

@slow_developer And this is why the hardware and biotech are the way to go. Not going wrong with Tesla. Still looking for the biotech plays. Hard to determine who will be nimble enough first.

@slow_developer Eventually, one model will win. There’s no need to have 1000 different AI. The one with the least bias, and best reasoning will win

@slow_developer We do not have AGI at any price or on any infrastructure.

@slow_developer So much contradictory, mixed-mode and wishful thinking here. He's saying that AI will be fully commoditized (no moat) and that there will be infra overbuild. He's recognizing that this is the end of economics as we know it, yet at the same time, frames the whole enterprise within

@slow_developer Fuck "AI" It's just a search engine that creates porn Learn a trade. Become a king.

@slow_developer @slow_developer Check out @S_I_M_A_N_N. They have reach these points.

@slow_developer Every gold rush ends the same way — oversupply, chaos, and a few who knew how to build through both. The glut isn’t a threat, it’s the filter.

@slow_developer @sama I see your points, my bus driver demands money, same, I am an unpaid musician, and I got songs with Eminem, 50 Cent, Nas, Cypress Hill Redman Method Man, etc..even own Channel Live with KRS-One. And Nico & Vinz Am I Wrong hit 1000 million hits on spotify, I sing!! unpaid.

@slow_developer Ya AI will put street Buskers out of work. Why play an instrument downtown or at the beach when you can have a radio and choose you songs. :)

@slow_developer Gosh the more I hear this guy talk the more he’s so guilty of it all

@slow_developer I love this tech. It's all I ever work with, anymore. I can't wait for it to glut all over me, so I can just lay there... glutted!

@slow_developer The infrastructure cost collapse is the part everyone's underestimating. We've seen this pattern before with computing resources.. but 40x annual reduction per unit of intelligence is a different magnitude entirely. That doesn't just change who can afford to run AI, it

@slow_developer Sam Altman is a douche

@slow_developer That actually make sense... to be able to run AI LLMs on cheaper/regular laptops.

@slow_developer They need to get AI to where it's actually intelligent. Right now it's a glorified relational database. Oh and all those Nvidia cards have, what, maybe a 5-year lifespan? Better get cracking on this so called AGI Sam.

@slow_developer Interesting take, Sam. An AI glut sounds like the ultimate democratization tool—personal AGI running on laptops could spark a creativity explosion. Elon Musk is doing his best to break through the infrastructure bottlenecks. Who else is preparing for that future? 🚀

@slow_developer These interviews are literally never insightful

@slow_developer How will this affect enterprise AI adoption?

@slow_developer costs dropping that fast, just think being locked in for a few billion as a investor

@slow_developer I don’t want to hear anything this man says ever again. Is that clear enough? Haider, your analytics HAVE TO SHOW YOU… OpenAI is evil, Sam is a pathetic and spineless human, and their lies WILL BURN. •

@slow_developer There’re too many ai companies today. Some offer products that already been “replicated” by the big giants… why use an AI that only generates images when you have other ones that do that and also generate videos, and help with research, etc..? I’m sure some of those single use

@slow_developer It is certainly an inevitability, but more caution is warranted than currently permitted.

@slow_developer Can’t stand this guy. But he’s right.

@slow_developer Sam’s definition of AGI is very loose at best. It is helpful for sure, but still a tool.

@slow_developer Not via an LLM.

@slow_developer A glut of intelligence sounds great until you realize we still have a shortage of wisdom. 😏

@slow_developer AI winters always follow hype heatwaves, balance incoming.
