tldr: diminishing returns on performance gain for power consumption
In one Blender rendering benchmark, the i9-14900KS consumed 31 percent more power than the i9-14900K for a less than 1 percent performance gain. The gap isn't always quite that large, but the power usage increase is generally disproportionate to the performance increase.
The article is using China as an example that increased concrete usage and its accompanying production is bad for the environment. The article is not chastising China for trying to provide for its "basic fucking needs of a modern society" by building "hospitals, schools, bridges, fucking sidewalks."

In my career of 20 years doing this, reviews have never equated to performance. A movie will either perform or it won’t. People will either love it and be connected to it, and I think what this movie has is an emotional drive and a core and characters that are vulnerable. And of course, there’s sequence and action and visual — it’s a magnificent looking film. But I think that at the core of it, it’s got emotion. There’s an emotional engine and a currency that runs through the film that I think works, so I’d invite people to check it out.
Well, it is nice that he believes in Rebel Moon.
I think it was a pretty weak film but not Batman vs Superman level of bad. Definitely deserves criticism for its poor story, bad dialogue, awful special effects, non-existent editing, and general lack of anything resembling excitement or a soul. Should it be critically panned and/or ridiculed? Absolutely.
But as it clearly says in my description, one test point is not equal to all other points (there is no way to rank, some are obviously more important than others). I just don’t know how to weigh them between each other.
