Thermodynamics; your convenience and comfort (CnC) are merely externalized on others not eliminated; someone else makes your stuff, deals with the environmental toll in the future.
Happy to sacrifice some of your CnC to ease obligations on those you give no assurances to.
Huh mines been the opposite; I use the internet less and less the last few years.
Difference maybe is during covid I got rid if my TV and got into guitar. I also deleted Twitter and Facebook in the early 2010s. Never fostered a sense of ownership over an account.
Not having the "work laptop to TV" pattern created a need to fill time otherwise. Cooking skills have greatly improved. Home improvements are getting done much cheaper without labor costs.
Sign ups and paywalls everywhere when I do take a minute to surf the web help. Anything that wants me to sign up is ignored.
Further reinforcement during these windows of surfing comes from not being wrapped up in thought-less rush to join in. Just browsing makes the banal content stand out.
Yeah this feels like Altman not knowing engineering well enough to realize where the focus should be.
Like he is optimizing to keep providing a vanilla token factory when weighted chips are coming and local models will supplement.
My head canon is savvy chip execs will be etching architecture his OpenAI pioneered into their flagship products while trying to minimize how much foothold he can get in hardware. Murica done offshored it. Not ours to control.
