A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.
Rules:
- Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
- Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
- Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
- Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
- No link shorteners
- No entire article in the post body

Sammy boy, that argument doesn't hold up for 10 seconds under any actual scrutiny. Yes, humans use energy too.
Your datacenters are using a shitload more energy than they are hypothetically replacing in human work
Even if it was a 1 to 1 replacement of human energy to AI energy expenditure, people don't eat electricity. We, in fact, have two entirely different sets of infrastructure for food vs electricity. If you just dump a bunch of extra load into one of the systems randomly, it's going to cause issues.
Fuck Altman and this shitty attempt at covering for his bad product.
