    If we are all going to die by our stupidity anyway, we might as well speed up the process so our last moments will be with better AI to generate more realistic porn images.

    I mean, the survival of the planet might be important to some, but the profits of mega corps is more important. Billionaires need to figure out how to travel to Mars so they can chill there before the earth turns to Venus. They need our money for that, and AI to replace annoying poor humans when they live in their Mars mansion.

    Had a planet full of resources, and thousands of years of rich and interesting cultural development.

    Decided to spend all the resources grinding all that culture into a bland paste.

    Is… is humanity a shitpost?

    There’s a danger when you advocate abandoning all hope of survival and you haven’t yet figured out immortality for yourself.

      What? But that’s what the bunker in the remote island is for! And the security guards with shock/bomb collars. For living forever right?

      I mean Biden just rushed a mad scientist a government position to replace brains slowly with fetal stem cells to end aging. And god I wish I was making up any of that.
      (Inspired by west world to replace his whole body??)

      They are hoping to drag this out long enough to figure it out.

    The most overvalued market is the tech market. The value of all of those cards and circuits are maintained purely through the existence of key monopolies in their production. It’s also the one generation the most unrecycable shit, at least not without consequences to the environment. And now they want to build AI data centers so we can finish making the world warm enough that it is not even possible to run AI data centers due to climate conditions. Brilliant.

    The actual quote is kess stupid, but still stupid.

    Clearly sets up “AI” versus “climate” dynamic. Also calls “AI” an “alien intelligence”.

    If we’re all f***** anyway, I think that justifies a lot of bad behavior. Why don’t people burn his house and company to the ground tomorrow? After all, law and order won’t matter when the environment goes to hell.

    Or…and hear me out…maybe instead we blast AI data centers with these Jewish space lasers I keep hearing about and leave the land to return to nature? Just spitballin’.

    “We should all max out and default on 1 billion credit cards because we’ll never pay out all debts”. Maybe if we frame it that way the religious capitalists will get it.

    That’s a stupid reaso, but I’d buy: we should go all in on ai data centers since that’s a new economic sector that we can dominate, plus it’s less polluting than lusting after a coal industry that never was or steel that never will be again

      Actually we have discovered the liquid Natural Gas plants we have been building to get more “clean” power to handle the demand for electricity is actually worse for the world and more polluting than coal! Neat right?

      Also metal work will literally always be needed or what are we building all these data centers with?

        Natural gas is generally converted to LNG for shipping, especially exports but also wherever pipelines are insufficient. US is a huge producer of natural gas and has hundreds of thousands of miles of natural gas pipelines. This wouldn’t be LNG.

        Of course natural gas pipelines also may have leaks and methane is much worse for climate change than CO2 (but for shorter time). However we have been making progress on monitoring and repairs

        Predictably increased power usage may also drive investment in renewable energy, shortening the life of polluting power. Regardless, AI is likely much less polluting than say cement or steel production

    This guy never cared about our environment in the first place.
