@christineburns@mastodon.green It's worth remembering, that OpenAI is currently a non-profit company and I'd expect such a company to serve the greater benefit of a whole society, but given such developments and the fact that it tries to convert into a regular for-profit company that expectation is just ridiculous.

@soletan@brandenburg.social @christineburns@mastodon.green 6 gigwatts thats insane. They want that much electricity then pony up for some nuclear power plants or wind and solar farms plus storage. Don't want to pay for them then get lost tech bros.
