"The insatiable hunger of OpenAI"
https://wimvanderbauwhede.codeberg.page/articles/the-insatiable-hunger-of-openai/
It's ironic how all the existential risk people warn us with a parable of a "paperclip optimizer" and then turn around and claim we should funnel society's resources into the current wave of AI.
And what's it all for? To teach AIs to farm for resources in video games. To enable disinformation at scale. To have robots write and read our pointless emails. To take the humans out of art. To make the extractive machinery of our society more extractive.
The author ends with "the world can't afford this growth in AI." Indeed, and we're not getting much for what we're paying.
