theres a reason hes a former

I've seen this before somewhere... I think it was a old video game called Horizon Zero Dawn?

The cause of, and the solution to, all of life's problems.

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

alright, Google, turn your machine on... I want to hear what it has to say.

"42"

.....

We already have the solution. It's just that we dont want to follow through. Unless he wants AI apocalypse to happen to us maybe that is his solution.

The problem, maximizing profits does meet the climate goals.

they would just make ais tell stupid things how only way to solve global warming is to give even more money to them, why would same thing from ai be any different. We need to seriously start doing non peaceful protests against this shit or we are going to die if we are lucky or watch the planet wither and always remember how we could have prevented the loss of most animals and plants but couldnt be bothered.

Oh so we’re at the Hail Mary stage where we throw our hands up and say “fuck it”

Reality? Yeah I watched that on TV once. Didn't like it.

i see a lot of naysaying in the comments and a lot of superstition.

the one thing you all got right is that it will never work in the hands of capitalists. however, that doesn't mean it wouldn't work in the hands of academia.

another thing that i think somebody in this comment section got right is the acceleration of fusion power. it's obvious that fusion power works. we just can't work out the details to make it net positive and scalable. i think those things are possible, and that we need all the help we can get to develop it.

something i don't see people mentioning is how an AI properly trained on human behavior could lead us down a path of sustainability without making us feel like we were forced to. with the right carrots and sticks, you can lead humanity to water and make it drink.

but none of this is possible without abandoning capitalism and unifying the world. we have to move away from nation states and fiat currency. and guess who are the people that stubbornly cling on to these concepts across cultures? conservatives and the religious - these are the two most cancerous concepts in the human species. roughly half of the human population across all cultures are backwards minded people clinging on to outdated concepts and unwilling to let go of the idea.

if you can figure out how to eliminate conservatism and religion, utopia is within reach.

former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said ... that the demand for AI computing (this is its power requirement) is infinite and that the key point is “we’re not going to get there through conservation.”

The host then followed up with, “Do you think we can meet AI’s energy without total blowing out climate goals?” and Schmidt answered with, “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.”
