We're destroying the Earth for capitalism. This is what they hope is the holy grail though.
I think the distinction is worth noting, and it didn't seem mean-spirited, so it doesn't feel like pedantry to me. more of a riff than a correction
Think you accidentally replied to the parent comment
How is ChatGPT not destroying the planet?
that was not my understanding of what the distinction was, so I can't argue a position I don't hold
Capitalism is destroying the planet with AI, among other things.
I mean, they were right regardless of your need to be a pedant.
But have you considered we can automate white collar work and uhhh have no one that can afford goods and services?? Leading to societal collapse? Haha capitalist death drive
Edit:
Data centers will also consume 1.3 billion people worth of water by 2030, and if the trend continues it could get ridiculous with how much siphoning they'd need to get from the ocean. One estimate suggests in 30 years we'd cause major ecological catastrophe from using the ocean as a heat sink, we'd essentially be boiling the ocean away. Welcome to the cool zone
Would they use some tech to block out the sun to reduce heat?
Or reflecting infrared in the escaping wavelength range, so that heat gain is offset?
Or bunkers and artificial environments for them? And the rest of us will have to take power away from them?

Why Do AI Chatbots Think There’s a Seahorse Emoji Too?
In September 2025, screenshots began spreading online of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI models confidently stating that a seahorse emoji exists, then falling apart when asked to actually produce one, cycling through a string of wrong guesses like 🐠, 🦄 and 🐉, sometimes for dozens of attempts before giving up.
By early 2026, OpenAI and Anthropic had both made adjustments, and community testing suggested their models now catch the error faster rather than spiralling through a long chain of guesses.
No one truly needs drinking water if you really think about it.
Ironically, that probably just took up enough water to destroy a bunch of fish
It's like the torture machine from the pit of despair in The Princess Bride, but instead of the six-fingered man saying he's just taken a year off your life, it's Sam Altman saying he's just used up a year's worth of clean drinking water.
Damn I can't find it either what the hell?
it is already smarter than last 2 presidents of usa and you guys still don't think it is reamarkable? you guys are never gonna be grateful smh
Google's llm yields dragon and shrimp emojis but only after it says there's no seahorse emoji, claiming it's a mandela effect false memory Bernstein bears situation, and I demanded it "make one, without image gen because im not signing in to see a seahorse emoji you fucking asshole"
{🌊|🐎}
I have no seahorse in this race because i don't use emojis like that
Tbf it’s still smarter than the last 6 British prime ministers combined
[ironic English pedantry deleted in the wake of accusations of non-ironic pedantry elsewhere in thread]
But I remember using and seeing a sea horse emoji how is it possible
PhD level analysis
DeepSeek said no, it's a Mandela effect thing, suggested horse+wave, and claimed that a word processor from the late 80s had one in place of the dragon emoji and even explicitly called it an emoji.
Fucking AI istg
This feels like something off Your AI Slop Bores Me
