    Sam Altman says AI is gonna need so much energy that we need to be investing in new energy strategies.

    If it still takes humans doing all this extra work to get the job done, wouldn’t it make more financial and ecological sense to just…

    …pay artists a living wage to do the same fucking job instead?

    We’re gonna burn our planet to the ground and doom our species to extinction for this bullshit? Fuck me, maybe it’s what we deserve, then.

      Someone should tell them this was an option all along before they waste any more time and resources on this.
