Good point. The power and compute time would be put to much better use in one of Sam Altman's datacenters.

I got Chat GPT 5.5 to land on the Mun in Kerbal Space program it was a fun and interesting learning experience.

I considered that but I also considered that I don’t come close to maxing a normal $20 a month Claude pro plan. So I think “incredible waste” is probably too far.

I also see total garbage slop upvoted on this site every day. At least with this, I am experimenting and learning a little about how to use agents effectively, I’m not sure I can say the same happened for other slop on this site.

Do you also bully people for playing video games or taking a leisurely drive?

And how very "hacker news" of you to discourage someone from playing with SOTA technology in unique ways.

so like every video game ever created? at what point do people decide it matters? just because it aligns with personal feelings about ai use?
