    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

      Yeah, this is one of the many things that annoys me about AI discourse.

      “We can use it to solve climate change!”

      We already technically know how to solve climate change, but politics makes doing that impossible.

      And, no, AI can’t “fix” politics. We’re going to have to figure that out by ourselves.

        Climate scientists: “do these things to fix climate change”
        Everyone: “but that’s HAAARD and I don’t wanna!”
        AI developers: create AI
        Climate scientists: “AI is drawing massive power accelerating climate change, we need to stop that”
        Everyone: “but it can tell us how to fix climate change so it’s going to be okay!”
        AI climate model: “do these same things to fix climate change”
        Everyone: “but that’s HAAARD and I don’t wanna!”

        Yeah, I can’t see any way this could possibly fail…

      In a way AI refusing to recommend using so much computing power on LLMs could well be the first sign of actual intelligence.

    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.

      If he was counting his money in $100 bills it would still take him about 40 years,

      Edit: assuming he counts 1 $100 bill per second

    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.

    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.

    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.
