"Humans use energy too" seems a very very low iq response to justifying everyones bills going up 100x forever to support R&D for something that will make them jobless and enslaved?

he'd say way fewer inexplicably stupid things if he just workshopped his messaging with chatgpt for 15 minutes

He's not wrong.

Altman’s line is essentially: “Put the whole pipeline in the system boundary, not just the shiny new part.

It block's the common fallacy: "AI energy is a waste because it's new".

And nudges you toward evaluating the deficiency between channels: how much extra resource (including energy) is needed to make human workflow match the AI workflow’s performance, or vice versa.

That's not a purity test, that's an efficiency frontier.

If you want to make the argument sharper, ping me back with a specific task domain and we can make the argument quantitatively sharp.

Just say the word.
