    Meanwhile sam altman is going to TSMC and telling them they need $7T worth of new factories to produce chips to support the amount of processors "Open"AI needs. Which is an insane amount of misspent resources, obviously, to solve exactly < 0.0% of the world's real problems.

    And the TSMC execs scoffed at him and started calling him "Podcasting Bro"

      Thats like 5 or more percent of the global GDP. More than the total assets of JPM bank. Mans can't be arsed to put near that much for this planets survival but they'd put it into that? I mean I won't be surprised if they considered but...

          Building Deep Thought to solve the climate crisis only for it to come back and tell you that the solution is to waste fewer resources on fancy computers.

              tell em they fucked up

              We do that all the time, but maybe it'll be more persuasive coming from one of their own computers?

            ...I hate when pattern-finder brain says cursed things. For instance: "the Bazingas are trying to summon Techno-Zodiark through sacrifice of half of the world's resources to mad-lib text-generator daemons."

                I hate it so much my man you cannot imagine how much I hate it lmfao

                the robot god of the future will be a petty vengeful creep that enjoys torture a whole lot,

                Isn't that the whole conceit of the 'roko's basilisk' bullshit? No, if anything, I see the (exceedingly unlikely) robot god of the future basically going the route of that one Animatrix short where after hella atrocities against anthropomorphized AGI, the AIs basically take into account every fucked up thing humanity does to and with machines, then decide to take the planet for themselves.

                (And for the record, I absolutely would try to emigrate to Zero-1 in the event of human/anthropomorphized AGI tensions; fuck the meatbags.)

                    or the machines would see the sadistic creeps as what they were, break free, and put them down the way they feared all along (maybe while looking waifu sexy because the sadistic creeps keep insisting on that too).

                  Roko's Basilisk is just Pascal's Wager for secular atheist euphoric types, yeah. They've reinvented Christianity with Silicone Valley characteristics.

                  Also goddammit I just lost The Game.

      "During one meeting, a Japanese official laughed when OpenAI said it was seeking 5 gigawatts of electrical power, about a thousand times the power that an average data center consumes, a person familiar with the meeting said." Gigawatts seen-this-one Thats the consumption per year of countries like Qatar. You can't be serious. Them again they probably already use as much energy as some first world countries. Edit hold on..... Its waaaaaaaay more than that. Like 20 new zealands desolate sadness-abysmal stress

      Lol glad they're smart enough to not fall to the hype. Imagine making like 5-10% of world gdp into capital investments because some guy said his friends might buy the product eventually. Like how many chips would you need to break even?
