STHaydenBREAKING: Sam Altman points out that putting out fires in orphanages also uses a lot of water.
dumbassThink about how selfish marine life is, they live in water, water we could use to cool our AI data centers! Think about that!
GrimyIn a way, this whole planet is a datacenter, with the oceans as it’s cooling system. We are the data.

God I hate him so much… Well he used to just annoy me, but now I hate him
paequ2Like, a thousand times over. Why does he keep reposting that same shower thought? Why is he so obsessed about that? Is there somewhere else he wants to kiss himself in the mirror?
Stupid orphans hogging all of that water, they should bring a lawsuit against them for endangering the supply needed for ai in having their place get on fire. It won’t win but they can’t pay for lawyers to defend it and they will go our of solvency and have to be dissoluted.
Now why do the courts let the rich file cases that have no merit to force people that haven’t done wrong to pay millions of dollars indefinitely to defend themselves from bad faith allegations by shitty abusive rich people? Because fuck you, that’s why. Any more questions? /s
TrickDacyNo, he didn’t. Please, for your sake and ours, learn to search for facts yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet to do it for you.
I know how to search the Internet but believe or not if someone posts something which may or may not be real, either they can respond accordingly or someone else easily can, as you just proved.
Well, given that it was posted in Memes, and after what he said the other day, it’s pretty easy to determine that it is parody. However, I do sympathize, as we are living in an age where most headlines appear to have come out of The Onion a mere decade ago, but are in fact the reality we face today.
Perhaps I was too harsh. My apologies. I’m just very worried about how people deal with information and truth recently.
voidsignalHe did not say this, but all-in-all, he did say this
“Know What Else Used a Lot of Energy? Human Civilization”
Im sure he will say it eventually, the bar is really low for this reality.
kateWhy do we need an orphanage in the first place? Is the Orphan Crushing Machine not working?
This guy needs a proper pr agent, and his instance of chatgpt a terapist.
children need to stop drinking water, selfish assholes.
ReygleIt at least provides me with better returns than a data center.
Net negative carbon footprint
MinnesotaGoddamYou know I am going to argue for the sake of it
It also conserves mass
I think this is satire, based on his ‘humans also use a lot of energy’ statements.
Actually had to make sure I wasn’t on a NotTheOnion instance.
wonderingwandererI can’t tell if this is real or not. It sounds ridiculous, but he does say some ridiculous things (like how millions of years of humanity have consumed more energy than four years of data centers…). But this just seems so comically ridiculous that I have trouble believing it.
This is why I hate when people fail to make it clear when something is satire. When people get used to doubting everything they see, then suddenly when someone really does say something comically ridiculous no one believes it.
I’ll point it out from time to time and people will say “it’s just a meme, don’t take it so seriously.” But we’re supposed to be the rational and intellectually honest ones, no?
So why cultivate a meme culture where we can be just as misleading and deceitful as the fascists? This isn’t a fire-with-fire situation. Their goal is to rob us of our humanity; if we stoop to their level, they win.
Even if he really did say this, my point stands, because of the simple fact that it’s hard to believe at face value due to the prevalence of misleading memes. There’s a line between disinformation and satire. Honest memes should make it clear which side of that line they fall on.
wizardbeardWhat he said was that training humans takes a lot of water too, in defense of AI. This is a shitpost take on that.
Okay, but nowhere on the post does it say “the onion,” “satire,” “parody,” or “spoof.” It’s presented as if it’s news, “BREAKING:”
My point is that if we make it impossible to tell the difference at a glance, then we’re cultivating this mindset that whenever you see a post where an out-of-touch billionaire says something ludicrous, your reaction is to think “well it must be fake, no one would ever say that.”
And then when it’s about something that someone really did say, such as the “millions of years of human evolution consumed more energy than a data center does in four years” crap, people are less likely to believe it when they see it as a headline.
We dont always know everything at first glance. Expecting to leads to and cultivates a lack of intellectual curiosity. Being able to consider and arrive and conclusions and then seek corroborating evidence is a useful life skill for you to try and learn.
That’s a really strange way of trying to justify spreading misinformation in the form of cheeky memes.
“Washing your hands is a good habit, so when you’re sick you should cough on doorknobs because it will encourage good habits.”
“Women need to be careful about who they date, so men who act like total asses are really just encouraging them to think critically and practice careful consideration.”
There are words I want to say, but I won’t say them.
RanulphOkay almost had me. I can’t believe he would argue in favor of helping orphans.
You what saves water? Setting fires in orphanages. In today’s Ted talk we’re going to outline ways how orphans use up water that could be better used on chunguses. Big Chunguses. Chungodes. Hayden, what’s the plural for Chungus and without that word were going to struggle grammatically and I’m not sure we can advance without it
