Great timing and phrasing. “Be slow about slop development ooor… Burn everyone and everything!”

    What I find interesting is that a lot of these changes which are attributed to the purportedly “inevitable” changes associated with AI (or partly with its not-adoption), are real consequences of climate change.

    • loss of employment? Check.
    • profound change to living conditions? Check.
    • loss of labour productivity - including knowledge work? Check.
    • threathening the stability of the world-wide financial system? Check.
    • increasing likelihood of war? Check.
    • threathening even the continuity of human civilization? Check.
    • threathening the capability to compete on national scales if the change is not reponded to swiftly by governments? Check.
    • Correlated with obscene amounts of wealth concentration, impoverishing the huge majority of people, and disintegrating societies? Check.

    It’s as if AI is used as a distraction. Like the “accusation in a mirror” pattern.

      How else do you think they will get a one world government? Cause the problems, depopulate the “undesirables”, cause conflict, and offer a solution to fix what you have created. Not a hard concept. The only way people will accept a totalitarian techno-fascist one world government is with an overwhelming catastrophe.

    I want newer, cleaner, superior technology made with the help of AI to lessen, stop or even reverse Climate Change.

    Also my Room is to damn hot! XD

      Making collages out of human excrement wins over pointless “AI” for me.

          Yeah, but what if people suddenly started spending money on it? Would you prefer investment bankers threw billions into that sinkhole or AI?

            Yeah, but what if people suddenly started spending money on fucking Jurassic Park? What about ai then, huh?

              Can’t say I’m excited about any of these options. I think we need a movie a bout hyperloop failing catastrophically to make the comparison easier. There already are lots of movies about AI taking over the world and a handful of movies where dinosaur experiments go horribly wrong. Haven’t seen anything about a hyperloop disasters.

              Would be cool though. Imagine a hyperloop getting stuck under the pacific ocean. If you open the door, the vacuum will kill you. If you somehow manage that, you’re still under a bezillion tonnes of water, so good luck with that. If you still somehow survive, and make it to the surface, you’re still bezillion km away from shore. The protagonist of that movie is going to need some ridiculous amounts of plot armor, or we’re going to roll the credits after 15 minutes.

    I mean, we must choose. Just not in favor of slopcenters burning through resources for highly dubious advantages.

    I mean that’s an easy choice, but also no fucking way. Rich pricks would pay for data centers even if they had to run them exclusively off renewables. This is a bluff.
