Yes but this is the recurring "Two Minutes Hate, the Sam Altman Edition" HN thread. We all know it's a dumb criticism, we're just going along with it.

Yeah, it makes sense, and the Atlantic is typically adverse to confronting reality. I don't think they took this from exactly the right perspective. You DO train a human. But Altman says:

>>It also takes a lot of energy to train a human

as a caveat to the energy it takes to train GPTs. The question I believe the writer is trying to ask is: Why is it better to train a GPT than a human?
