So because children are dying while mining for gold in the Philippines, we should be quiet about a traumatized AI workforce in Africa? I do not buy this reasoning.

It's not just knee jerks though. I'd wager PSTD is real. The insane energy use is definitely real and the hallucinations are too real. The predictions for constant future improvements are however highly questionable. Critique where critique is due.
