i doubt that they can even do much of that

here's the thing: how expensive is the cost of human labor in a kilojoules per dollar cost, versus burning coal/reacting uranium to drive turbines to run an electric grid, easily already a 30% loss of joules versus the direct and efficient combustion of an animal body?

how many of these joules does it cost to run the brain of an ai mangling engine? at least as much as 30 people are consuming, and this power is more expensive to produce and distribute
