Sam Altman: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Meaning: We stole all your knowledge , writing, and art, and now we’re gonna put a meter on it and sell it back to you. You’re welcome.”

As the global climate deteriorates ever faster, those in the global north (in particular) seem to have no idea how great the flow of climate migrants (at present in reality a mere trickle) is going to get. That trickle will become a flood of starving desperate people fleeing ever more conflict. We have no idea what to do beyond trying to "pull up the drawbridge" and we haven't begun to address the ethical implications. We need moral and ethical solutions. "Stop the boats" doesn't cut it at all.
