This is a profound category error. What Altman reduces to a 20-year 'training' cycle fueled by 'energy' is what we, in the actual world, call life. It is a stunningly hollow perspective that uses the language of industrial output to describe the human experience. While he is likely being provocative to keep his product at the center of the cultural conversation, it probably exposes something about him.

Exactly why we need to rid ourselves (by taxes) of billionaires. Those people have way too much power, and are often stupid dumbasses who just got rich randomly (right moment at the right place, or because their parents were rich in the first place), but are mostly spewing stupid lunacies

This is a super disingenuous take. He was very obviously making a specific point, not try express a perspective on the value of humanity.

I understand he’s making a technical point about efficiency, but language isn't neutral and I think it betrays something deeper. It's such a glib and shallow point too that I think it should be called out since he has a track record of saying some incredibly shallow things about AI, people, politics, and everything really.
