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.

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.
