So Sam Altman's response to concerns about the wastefulness of his company's technology is basically "Well, raising humans consumes a lot of energy too!"

Either he has finally fried his own brain with his slop machine or he doesn't even bother any more to hide the degrading, dehumanizing, and despicable mindset that fuels the industry he's in.

Either way, those people shouldn't wield any power in the real world, where the rest of us 'dispensable humans' dwell.

@r_alb this is not the first time i've seen this argument from the large language models promoters; i think there was an article or a paper that also went this way.

but it's nice to know that the fuckers are equating their beefed-up GPUs with human lives. gives some clarity where we stand with them.
