they don't even replace any jobs, they suck out all money out that was previously going to employ people doing useful things.
I feel like we need a new word for money going to datacenters instead of paychecks. 'AI taking jobs' implies AI is doing the work , which is not the case.
- milkshakes 1y agowhat does this even mean?

- milkshakes 1y agowell, for one, "datacenters instead of paychecks" is nonsensical. openai doesn't operate their own datacenters, they in fact write checks to people who do, who in turn write their own checks to their employees. it sounds like you don't believe datacenters are "useful", either. that's a pretty hot take IMO.
