OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough (www.reuters.com)

Speaking at a Bloomberg event on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Altman said the silver lining is that more climate-friendly sources of energy, particularly nuclear fusion or cheaper solar power and storage, are the way forward for AI.

"There's no way to get there without a breakthrough," he said. "It motivates us to go invest more in fusion."

Right, surely the energy intensive AIs will make the world invest in climate-friendly energy instead of just burning more fossil fuels as they always did.

Also shows how unsustainable the current neoliberal system is.

I'm not sure that I'm willing to care about what multi-billionaires think any longer.

If someone becomes a billionaire they should be ritually sacrificed for the republic by the hands of children as we all drink the billionaire blood in the starlight.

Yes and no. We shouldn’t care about these people but we need to stop them from destroying our world (which they are doing).

Yeah that's what the ritual cannibalism is for.
