[0:00]people talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model relative to how much it costs a human to do one inference query.
[0:09]It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.
[0:26]So the fair comparison is if you ask ChatGPT a question, how much energy does it take once its model is trained to answer that question versus a human?
[0:39]And probably AI has already caught up on an energy efficiency basis measured that way.

[0:00]people talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model relative to how much it costs a human to do one inference query.

[0:09]But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.

[0:17]And not only that, it took like the very widespread evolution of the hundred billion people that have ever lived and learned not to get eaten by predators and learned how to like figure out science and whatever to produce you.

[0:26]And then you took whatever you, you know, you took. So the fair comparison is if you ask ChatGPT a question, how much energy does it take once its model is trained to answer that question versus a human?

[0:39]And probably AI has already caught up on an energy efficiency basis measured that way.

[0:43]This was a rare moment when we had a bit of a looking glass into Sam Altman's soul, and he's a f****** nihilist.

[0:49]He is basically saying, there is a rational reason to invest more in non-sentient beings because sentient beings require too many resources.

[0:59]Well, all right, boss, that means you're the guy who's looking for the f*** doll.

[1:04]The reason we're here is to create sentient beings we can have relationships with.

[1:10]Just that he's thinking that way feels, quite frankly, it just feels frightening.

[1:14]This is such a statement from someone who has not had enough love in his life or hasn't experienced what it's like to raise children.

[1:22]It's kind of this Peter Teal nihilism, weirdness, that they just look at stuff as ROI being the end game.

[1:29]No, the reason why we pursue ROI is such that we can waste time and money and be very inefficient with the investments we make in our.

[1:37]I still haven't gotten my money back on my children.

[1:40]I'm not sure I'm ever going to.
