That should be enough to worry anybody.
From the guy who said 640Kb is enough for anyone…
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.
The final solution the AI comes up with: Cut the power of the poor, euthanize the old and weak.
If it were actually AI I might have some faith.
This isn’t a neural net processor, not a learning computer. It’s a fucking mechanical Turk. A bad one.
What he’s talking about isn’t capable of deriving new ideas. It’s just going to spit out shit it’s seen already.
The library of Babel is just as likely to give us the answers he’s talking about. More likely maybe because it’s at least already written down.
And make paperclips.
Wow, that is so dumb. I saw some crack pot dude trying to solve unsolved physics problems by using prompts like “imagine you are Einstein, then how would you solve: …”. Good to see he is not alone, but has Bill fucking Gates with similarly dumb AI takes.
Dead wrong. AI is not as reliable as their makers would like to believe. AI is more likely to adopt all the flaws of humanity than make anything “better.” A subjective term.
how about euthanize the entire planet? Just put us out of our fucking misery already goddamn
I hate that they decided to have Morpheus hold up a battery instead of a processor because some empty suit thought audiences were too stupid to get it.
The whole thing never made much sense anyways, machines would be without scrupules and cut off any redundancies like extra limbs, they’d probably just keep your brain in a jar.
Didn’t it also have something to do with a brand deal? Like the suit got extra funding for the movie by making a deal with Duracell to have their batteries in the movie or something.
640kW should be enough for anyone.
I have to admit, this one took me a minute 🙂
Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we’re talking about?
'Cause that’s fuck-all when we’re talking about industrial level power draw.
I originally had MW but changed it to be more in line with the supposed original quote.

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…
but now we have a scapegoat
In a way AI refusing to recommend using so much computing power on LLMs could well be the first sign of actual intelligence.
Ai told my power company to tell us to stop using energy during the day beucase ai needs the power to do the power co.pqnies jobs
So if we light the planet on fire to fuel the AI, the AI will then tell us how to put the fire out.
Okay sure, but how about we just… don’t do any of that?
The AI solution will be to stop producing food. That would save enormous amounts of energy.
No more food, but here’s half a pound of cricket flour. Meets all your daily nutritional needs!

Feeding humans is not needed to keep the world saving AI running, so why would we even bother?
Breaking: Rich tech guy thinks that the energy draw from rich tech projects is nothing to worry about.
Well as long as Bill says it’s cool, I guess I don’t have to form my own opinion
We should at least hear what Ja Rule has to say
I’d prefer to hear 50’s opinion over Ja Rule
Mr anti climate change says not to worry when it benefits him.
Fuck bill gates, fucking nepo-baby
Bill Gates shouldn’t worry about people wanting to make a tent from his skin.
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.
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.
As he counts his money.
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
oh okay
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.
- Man who will probably die before we hit the wall
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.
It’s not going to be in the back of your head.
Bill gates accepts your terms
