When these weirdos get older they always stop giving a shit about anyone but themselves or more to the point they stop pretending they ever cared for anyone else.

He just wants to run his ~~AI datacenters~~ gold mines, climate be damned. And looks like he himself sees AI as some kind of magic bullet, typical exec syndrome.

Give the ring to Boromir, he will know what's best
I would be overjoyed if AI solved the coordination problem that's protecting him.
Eric and his dumbass wife Wendy need to move on. Nobody wants you meddling rich fucks around anymore.
Think a bit before you talk. Hard for all of us!
"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"
This is "Escalating to de-escalate" with climate change
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.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh well we tried….
GTFOH
If we launched enough of these assholes towards a Lagrange point between the sun and earth we could really cut down on climate change.
Just a thought.
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.
