What solution is AI going to come up with other than “stop burning fossil fuels”? We already know the solution to climate change. Acting like we don’t is absurd.
I think a good first step in meeting climate goals would be eating Eric Schmidt.
The solution to humanity’s climate change problem is to eliminate humans.
~ AI
block the sun is also a method to reduce global warming.
You’re only technically correct
The solution must be a hammer, because I have one!
“Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders!”
- Eric Schmidt, probably
There are so many high-profile assholes in this country named Eric.
Or alternatively fine (yes, fine; not just “tax”) heavy energy sinks, to the point that they’re unable to run, and use the money to address climatic issues now.
But it’s easier to wallow in a mix of nirvana fallacy (either solving the climate issue altogether, or doing jack shit) + wishful belief (“AGI is cooooming! Praise AGI!”), right?
This wouldn’t even stop the development of model-based generation, mind you. Only force it towards smarter approaches, that don’t boil down to “needz moar [parameters | training data | cranks]!” brute-force.
But nah. I’m supposed to treat it as a devil or as an angel, right? And this specific muppet is treating it like an angel talking about the First Coming of AGI.
I think we are past the tipping point now, it’s downhill from here and what we do to reduce carbon emissions will only determine how fast we go down that hill.
I saw a post the other day here that was saying something along the lines of “because china’s car market is swapping to EV’s we might be at the tipping point for climate change either in 2024 or 2025”
Which if true would be really nice. I have no idea of the validity of that claim, but i just wanted to add it. Maybe we aren’t so screwed? Fingers crossed I guess :3
what an idiot
“I’m not hitting my goals on staying sober. I’d rather bet on my next drink to solve this problem for me.”
Imagine someone like him acting like ‘coming up with solutions’ is the problem. Infuriating ghouls.
Why advocate for trying to stop climate disaster when you can choose to believe that you can both profit off of it and be the hero that saves humanity from it, both at the same time?
Some people should just shut up and retire.
And we’ll come up with a name that merges climate and technology, let’s call it skynet.
the first advice the superintelligent ai would give: “power me down”
We have all the solutions, we just need to execute them.
