exactly right! Plato loved writing and it was Socrates who disliked the static written word.
I think Socrates would have loved AI though because it’s so good at the Socratic method of discussion (if you use it that way, by default it’s sycophant and gives answers in stead of questions so if you don’t set it up it will be anti-socratic)
Ironically it was Socrates his opinion and Plato was the one to write it down. Not the opinion of Plato (who wrote a lot).
Socrates would have loved AI because contrary to the static written word you can have a Socratic method style discussion with AI that has follow up questions and rebuttals.
AI isn’t “silent written word” that Socrates disliked.

that’s not a reasonable price imo

I didn’t mean to imply a narrow subset. Pretty much everything I own is idle and unused most of the time.
I don’t think I understand what you’re saying, sorry.
I like the idea of collectively owning the computing power!
Would be nice to be able to buy part of a datacenter instead of renting it.
It was actually one of their main points they Kamala wants to start world war 3. Iran was a huge part of the election campaign in 2024.
Vote democrat -> war with Iran and world war 3

This and cost of living with that beautiful word groceries were central to the campaign.

It’s true what he says and not just about RAM but about anything you own.
My car isn’t driving most of the time. My drill isn’t drilling most of the time and my oven is off most of the time.
That’s a huge waste of resources in a macro economic kind of way.
You can’t argue with the correctness of his statement. You need other arguments. These arguments exist.

I dreamt about a new roundabout where I thought a roundabout would fix some problems with traffic.
The roundabout was a temporary test setup which will probably remain a temporary test setup for 10 years.
