Sam Altman's Lies About ChatGPT Are Growing Bolder


Would you believe OpenAI if it told you AI is fine for the planet, actually?

Altman’s gaslighting reached new heights this week as he cited wildly deflated numbers for OpenAI’s water and electricity usage compared to numerous past studies. He said that “entire classes of jobs” will go the way of the dodo, but it doesn’t matter since “the world will be getting so much richer so quickly that we’ll be able to seriously entertain new policy ideas we never could before.” Altman and other tech oligarchs have suggested we finally encourage universal basic income as a way of offsetting the impact of AI. But if temperatures rise, requiring even more water and electricity to cool these data centers, I doubt AI can work fast enough to fix anything before it’s too late.
