#12We use that energy no matter what we do.
Humans are not born for productivity reasons (we are not "creating" humans to produce things).
GenAI doesn't cause fewer humans to be born.
If you want humans to use less energy and water, stop building GenAI.
Sam Altman can go stumble upon a Lego.

We got this squishy thing between our ears that blows their GPUs out the water. We'd all end up in data centers if they could harness it...well, our brains at least, the rest isn't useful.
the actual plot of the matrix was about using human brains in a neural net but they felt the battery angle would be easier for the mainstream to understand. Humans are not really good or efficient batteries.

#16This argument is obviously incredibly stupid and in bad faith. What is sad is that some tech bros will probably believe in this shit. We use that energy no matter what we do.

Oh that's a cool fact. I feel that plot direction would've been cooler from a SciFi perspective. Battery angle is fine, but a bit limited. A gaint hivemind type thing is pretty cool plot element.
