Hold on a second. #1 contains a diverging value judgement rather than just a description of reality. Its truth value varies wildly depending on who's reading it. It is only under-utilization by Sam Altman's definition of utility, but not my definition of utility. I want hardware to be sitting idle in people's homes most of the time instead of processing requests in a datacenter (in large part because #2 is true). That is positive utlity for me. The same cannot be said for Sam Altman. We do not have the same utility function.

#2 is true for almost all observers. #1 is only true for a small group of people. #2 is an "is". #1 is a "should". Sam Altman is very, very wrong in the "should" sense of "wrong", by my judgement of value, and I suspect also by the judgement of most people reading this.
