Human beings are nothing but their economic output to Sam Altman.

I don't think he minds the energy as long as we keep building his crazy vision of the future.

This is how he sees humanity, it's important for everyone to understand so we can agree to lock him up and throw away the key.

It’s building pyramids all over again.

At least we're not electrical output yet. https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Power_plant

I was recently considering what these people would do to us if they found a valuable use for part of our bodies. The Matrix was brought up by someone in response.

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.

> “But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human,” Altman said. “It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart. And not only that, it took the very widespread evolution of the 100 billion people that have ever lived and learned not to get eaten by predators and learned how to figure out science and whatever, to produce you.”

This is peak Silicon Valley content.

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.
