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.

I don’t think it’s out of pocket to think these guys have fried their brains talking to LLMs.
Dogfooding is a tried and true software development philosophy to enhance the QA process so these guys have likely been talking all day to LLMs for a decade now with zero concern for how their brain is eroding.
@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.
@r_alb He’s psychopathy spectrum. When Musk said empathy is a weakness he meant he works without it, too, because personhood only causes problems in processing. CEOs are much higher in dark triad traits than normal population.
Side note, it’s like 1 in 10 people. So, most people, mostly, don’t see dark triad. Trump is America’s large exposure, and he breaks people’s brains. For those of us who have had to process a bad faith actor already, the obviousness and allowance given are maddening.

And right before your post I saw a toot that stated “now I can feed my notes to the slop extruder faster!”
Sam Altman knows very well that AI was developed & paid for by fossil fuel funded fascist interests.
Does he never ask himself why the Saudis have developed a sudden interest in AI?
Or Charles Koch? Or Putin? Or Alwaleed bin Talal? Or #PrinceBonesaw ?
The oil industry isn't "pivoting" or "transitioning".
It is laundering its money in preparation for an utterly necessary fossil fuel phase out.
The subversion of any democracy acting on climate too.
"The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must".
Altman is a prepper, he can literally survive on his bunker island that's stocked with guns, antibiotics and water while you fight with others for basic resources.
He can say whatever he wants, it's not like there's much you can do against him
@r_alb
These assholes all seem to think reality is just a strategy game they're playing and AI is just the next upgrade on the technology tree. Like, "We can phase humans out now..."
Fuck off and go outside Sam.
@r_alb
I see only a solution, stop using their services. They should drown in debt.
