ChatGPT could cost over $700k per day to operate
My main concern with AI is that I&#x27;m not so sure if there is a market for any kind of intelligence anymore. So much human talent and intelligence has been wasted over the past few years; so many potentially useful projects went unfunded, I struggle to think of what purpose AI would serve in such an economic system as ours. I can see its potential, but I can&#x27;t see our current system facilitating that potential. It seems more likely that the technology will be applied towards controlling the masses rather than benefiting them; this has been the purpose of most major tech &#x27;innovations&#x27; of the last decade.<p>Wealthy individuals these days hardly need any intelligence at all to stay rich. On the other hand, it seems like poor individuals have no chance no matter how much intelligence they have... Does anyone really need more intelligence? Most human intelligence seems to be wasted on bullshit jobs anyway.<p>What we should be asking ourselves is &quot;how much more comfortable can we make our billionaires?&quot; Because the entire concept of &#x27;economic efficiency&#x27; appears to be about optimizing society towards that goal.
