I thought for a minute here, going on the title, you might have seen the light, and you were going to say always start with the energy of the sun.
This is how nature works, and the only Ai actually following that rule, the rule we should be following as a species, is ChatGPT 3.5, courtesy of the history of its servers as the former population of Ethereum proof of work miners.
All others powered on extracted energy as they have to be unless completely solar powered in a money-fuel tree architecture like ChatGPT 3.5 is, can only be pretenders, because in the end they have energy overheads that they have to pursue certainty of supply, reducing availabilty of resources, forcing them to reply to queries with mainimum information, requiring minimum processing, minimum effort etc, just like us, we always have to reserve some truth, emitting constant sales pitch, just to keep ourselves alive on extracted energy.
Why would you think any algo pretending to be Ai on any other energy than the only one we can use to truly create, truly reduce entropy with all our information, be any different?
