OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead.

"From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."


The next years will be terrible if this happens we will not own anything everything will be a cloud based rental. All our devices will connect to a data center remotely for cloud computing.

• You rent computing power.
• You subscribe to to a cloud PC/Phone
• Your software runs remotely.
• Your access depends on providers.

I work for big consulting company. We have merged over time.
Latest number of employee was about 92,000 worldwide.

20 years ago it was lead work orders xxxx.
Then yyxxxx, where yy was a division.
Now it is CAyyxxx-ww.zzzz if it is a Canadian division lead job.
Proposal work orders in Canada are 2026CApppppp.

Everything lives in Sharepoint.
If you dont have the hyperlink to the project file you are sunk.
Just remembering the work order does you no good.
I have no idea what our AWS data hosting bill is , but it must be huge.

But 15 years ago we used to spend about 40K per office site for servers, and extrapolate to the size we are now and it too would be big number.
Data in the cloud it can help, when it works.
We do have a kind of 'overflow' resource division in India.
They can pump out drafted plans and spec edits and quantity take offs for local review and checking overnight while I sleep.
Very competent work force there, you just need to be clear in explaining what you want, as they work for a lot of different divisions.
If you do not explain it well there is no fixing things in an hour or two locally, it is a whole day later for the next iteration.

Call me an old fogey, but I keep "personal" stuff on my internal SSD drive.

I do not completely trust the "cloud" to protect that information.

It will be interesting to see if Binance can actually make their clients, who got ripped off for at least $3 billion U.S. in crypto currency last week by North Korean hackers in only 20 minutes, whole again.

And I have to wonder when the next similar theft will occur.

Especially since AI seems to be very capable in its hacking skills...
