That is such a casually psychopathic thing to say

Humans exist and have mass and value.

How out of touch can you be?!

I mean the man is right. I am much more expensive to maintain than the theoretical "Ummdustry-equivalant processor" (UEP). plus I have a lower duty cycle, am less convinient to employ/dismiss and lack scalability. That's why I'm terrified of being replaced (economically) by it.

How are you going to compare humans' usage to the usage of the thing that they are using?
