He's thinking like an AI CEO. I don't think his goal is to eliminate 3,000 human births so he can use the energy to train a new model.

In his mind, he must be thinking that I can train a model that uses as much energy as 3,000 humans so that it can be used by billions of humans. He thinks it's a positive statement.

Again, the optics are bad. Read between the lines. I can see how most people are offended by his statement.

I don't know what he is thinking. I know what he says. And what he says shows that he has no clue about the energy problem.

> it can be used by billions of humans

Unless we have an energy problem, which is precisely what he does not seem to grasp. People who are concerned about the energy consumptions are concerned precisely because it is a problem. And if we are really generous with his answer and start replacing what he said by what we want to believe he said, then the conclusion is that he is very naive and doesn't understand the problem at all. And that's the generous case where we completely ignore what he said.
