The Programming has changed get with the times. AI earnings have outweigh ESG scores.

You didn't notice as soon as energy was needed for AI, all the tech companies gave up on green power and reducing emissions?

It does, but its partly just the hot thing because you can increase energy usage without going back on CO2 promises.
They certainly arent reducing energy usage rn which could theoretically be a puzzle piece of reducing CO2.

Lol you got played
Sam was saying they have a $1.4 tn financial obligation to build 30 GW worth of data centers https://youtu.be/ngDCxlZcecw?t=1179
That's a lot of money to raise given they have no earnings.
He also says they are talking about being able to build 1 GW a week at a cost of $20bn/GW
I find it all a bit worrying. Weren't we supposed to be careful with energy use to reduce CO2 emissions? Could the billions maybe better deployed to schools hospitals, housing and the like rather than chatbots?
Rather than a fictional paperclip maximising AI eating the world we have a chatbot maximising Altman trying to do so?
