That should be enough to worry anybody.

640kW should be enough for anyone.

Bill Gates says the massive power draw required for AI processing is nothing to worry about as AI will ultimately identify ways to help cut power consumption and drive the transition to sustainable energy.

We already know how

So if we light the planet on fire to fuel the AI, the AI will then tell us how to put the fire out.

Okay sure, but how about we just... don't do any of that?

Breaking: Rich tech guy thinks that the energy draw from rich tech projects is nothing to worry about.

Well as long as Bill says it's cool, I guess I don't have to form my own opinion

Mr anti climate change says not to worry when it benefits him.

Fuck bill gates, fucking nepo-baby

Bill Gates shouldn't worry about people wanting to make a tent from his skin.

Oh, gotcha. So crypto mining is bad, because he can't make money off of it. But AI is just fine, because he can make tons of money off of it. I understand now. Makes perfect sense.

Can I worry about the fact the most serious AI's are owned by large companies, and that they are being taught to replace artists, writers and creatives?

What a sad fucking dystopia we live in.

As he counts his money.

Ricky says Bill Gates needs to shut the fuck up. You have thousands of times more money than any human will ever need leave the rest of us alone you fucking demon.

Of all the celebrity billionaire parasites this one is the one I hate the most. At least Elon and Bezos has the decency to show us what scumbags they are... they don't call Gates "No.1 Sugar Daddy To The PR industry" for nothing.

oh okay

Alright, but if I end up getting stuffed in a goo-filled pod so the AI can suck my energy out through a massive plug in the back of my head, I'm gonna be pretty upset.

Okay thanks Bill, I won’t.

Rich billionaire twat who owns a shitload of Microsoft shares says AI is good, don't let the bubble burst. More at ten.

Fuck it. Gun it at the brick wall. Jerry's rigging up an emergency break as we speak. Don't mind that the last piece to said break may be missing.

- Man who will probably die before we hit the wall

Oh Gates what a lovely altruistic human billionaire.

I say shut up.

If this isn't the most cynical message forum then I don't know what is.

Ah yes, classic tech solutionism.

"No need to be frugal, the tech will evolve and fix the causes of climate change!"

We need a solution right now, not in a decade, dumb ass. So frugality is the answer.

Suddenly I'm worried about AI's energy draw. "6 percent of global electricity" is not a small amount of electricity.

Iceland figured this out some years ago, and now they make heaps exporting computing power to international AI compute buyers.

They do it with a naturally cold climate, and loads of geo-thermal power.

Ah, okay, thanks Bill 👍

I wish to live in a world where the media doesn't consist of articles about how some rich or famous person says or thinks something.

Are we absolutely sure it's real Bill Gates and not Robot Bill Gates? I mean he's had bad takes before but maybe it's best to be sure?

While shooing folks away from a curtained-off area.

They gonna be hawking these cliff notes machines even as the last breathable air disappears.
