Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Sam Altman says AI is gonna need so much energy that we need to be investing in new energy strategies.
If it still takes humans doing all this extra work to get the job done, wouldn't it make more financial and ecological sense to just...
...
...pay artists a living wage to do the same fucking job instead?
We're gonna burn our planet to the ground and doom our species to extinction for this bullshit? Fuck me, maybe it's what we deserve, then.
Someone should tell them this was an option all along before they waste any more time and resources on this.
We? Or maybe just a handful of tech bros with too much money.
I mean, arguably, yes, but I meant more "we" as in "humanity as a whole."
Sure, plenty of us don't actually get a choice in what is happening, but outwardly, you would attribute it to the human species, even if it was only a subset of the human species. Mosquitoes and bedbugs aren't responsible for the destruction of the planet, although it would be nice to be able to blame them.
it's incumbent on sam altman to pretend that ai will more efficiently drain the world's money, capital and power into the hands of the ultra rich, because this is how he causes money, capital and power to drain into his hands
