Sam Altman says babies waste energy

Sam Altman is standing there in 2026 explaining that your newborn daughter is basically just an energy-wasting machine. Twenty years of feeding and keeping her warm before she even produces anything. Evolution cost energy too, you know. A hundred billion people learning not to get eaten. Add that up and suddenly his ChatGPT looks pretty efficient.

Wow, what creativity and an argument the marketing department really thought through. The man literally reduces human life to kilowatt-hours and thinks he’s clever. A baby grows up to be an artist, a doctor, or someone who loves other people. ChatGPT produces shareholder value. That he even compares the two says everything about the complete lack of perspective.

Anyway, your electricity bill is rising twenty-five percent because his servers are devouring 183 terawatt-hours. Doubling by 2030. OpenAI is raking in billions and you’re paying the energy bill. There’s a nice term for that in economics: socializing costs, privatizing profits. They just don’t say it out loud because then everyone gets the trick.

That efficiency they keep going on about? Show us the numbers then. How much does one ChatGPT query use? What happens when models get bigger? Silence. No numbers. No transparency. Just Altman comparing your kid to a server and telling you to stop complaining about energy.

Data centers use electricity that’s forty-eight percent dirtier than average. Can’t wait for solar power, running non-stop. His solution? The energy sector should fix it with nuclear. Not OpenAI investing. You sort it out while he cashes in.
