   😱 Bezos said that in order for AI to reach its potential, certain resources must be allocated and prioritised for the technology rather than for human consumption like water. It’s a remarkably tone deaf statement from one of the world’s richest men, essentially suggesting human needs should yield to AI infrastructure need. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says human water consumption is limiting AI’s potential https://theprint.in/feature/jeff-bezos-water-consumption-amazon-ai-potential/2964266/

     @nixCraft Funny, I could say the same about humanity and billionaires.

     In order for our species to reach its Star Trek level potential, we gonna have to make some societal changes.

     Otherwise the Star Trek future we're gonna get is Romulan. Or worse.

     I read this and thought "no fucking way. They hint at it, but they don't say it". And then I read the article and..... WOW.

     Bezos: "no one gives a shit about you, AI needs your resources"
