This is like Satan saying "We're not going to be able to deal with mass corruption. Just burn everything. That's the solution."

That's an interesting idea... Satan...

This is escapism. Escapism that makes him money.

We don't need AI to determine an immediate and permanent solution to climate change, we already know what it is, just nobody wants to say it out loud

"Clearly we're not going to solve this, so just let us destroy the biosphere so we can be slightly richer when we die before the consequences of our actions are realized"

Think a bit before you talk. Hard for all of us!

I would be overjoyed if AI solved the coordination problem that's protecting him.

That 'quote' on the title is not even remotely accurate.

We’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we’re not organized to do it — and the way to do it is with the ways that we’re talking about now — and yes, the needs in this area will be a problem. But I’d rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem if you see my plan.

These fuckers seriously need to just shut the fuck up and disappear.

First day: hey Chat GPT, how do I fix the planet?

Chat GPT: sure. First you will need a very large board, much larger than earth, and a nail that is at least 3 times the size of earth. Next hammer the nail right thru the plane so as to fix it to the board.

Me: no. I mean fix the global climate and contamination problems.

3 years later....

Me: please Mr Chat! You fuckin asshole! Without murdering all politicians, accountants, lawyers and without making them all into a fine paste and mixing the paste in to the Saharan desert using all the possible available criminals as feed stock to the South American overpopulation of hippos so their poop can fertilize all the African desert....350 pages of this sort of shit later....and without rockets to push the moon towards earth such that all humans must leave.....how can we fix the planet's global crisis?

AI: "Be more responsible."

Them: "... No."

Greed and corruption beyond belief

This is "Escalating to de-escalate" with climate change

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I wish someone could provide evidence that this would actually lead somewhere. The problem is even if AI isn't a white whale and actually does achieve the goals that the AI companies are telling us it will achieve. That still leaves us hoping that the AI can actually fix the problem quickly enough that the extra power that we required in order to create it, doesn't cancel out any benefit it can create.

I've yet to see anyone provide any evidence to suggest that this will necessarily be the case.

Also given the fact that AI companies are taking over nuclear power stations I'm not seeing much evidence of shackling going on.

Well, at least we know who has a gigantic amount of shares and OpenAI

[–] kshade@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

My guess would be Nvidia. But probably both.
