He's made statement that data centers are cheap to run, compared to human workers, because humans cost 18 years feeding and teaching them.

So he was saying AI can use some electilricity and give same answer as a human, but the humans cost more. People were like, wow, yeah right, he's amazing.

Um how much did the data center cost to setup? LLM training, workers to clear the land, resource mining, all the labour to manufacture the resources unto data center infrastructure. Food resources to feed the builders, architects, labourers etc. etc. He glossed over that part.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
