        It’s training that uses a tremendous amount of power.

        Speech-to-text transcribing of voicemails is done on-device and uses basically zero energy.

        Gods, we are so stupid.

        The human species survived alongside countless others for tens of thousands of years. It has taken us roughly two or three generations to fuck it all up in the relentless pursuit of profit.
