The "happiness level review" with "Node operators must participate in scheduled IRC review sessions" is almost a piece of dystopian fiction in itself.
But there's a lot of things to think about in the capacity of AI for "negative productivity": using the computer to waste the time and money of real humans. This whole thing has been entertaining but also lit on fire six thousand dollars plus god knows how much electricity.
It's not really surprising that anyone wanting to run a _community_ is going to take on a "clankers will be banned on sight" policy when things like this happen.
Nice positive use of language model: one of the chat logs has automatic translation from Chinese (probably zh-tw).
Honestly, probably not that much electricity. AWS will charge you the hourly price irrespective of your load/power consumption. But instances sitting idle generally don't use that much power.
