    solving global warming is really simple: kill off all human beings.

    i wonder how long ai algorithms will take to figure that out.

      If he’s talking about the AI we have in any near future, it’s not figuring anything out. But I think he’s just saying whatever he can pull out of his ass to deflect attention from how his kind are the problem.

      You could do it in order of CO2 footprint, which pretty much tracks wealth. I bet if you just killed off the top 1% you’d make a huge dent.

        Except it’s disproportionately killing those producing the least amount of global warming - I’ve yet to hear of a billionaire killed by global warming.

    Too bad his idea is so fantastically stupid. Under other circumstances, I might kinda like his “fuck it, do or die” attitude.

      It’s so stupid it might be brilliant… nope it’s just stupid.

      This is like when I have a homework assignment due Monday, it’s now Sunday night and I know it won’t get done in time. Fuck it, let’s have a party. Except I won’t be around to clean up after.

    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.

    I just don’t care anymore. I’m done fighting. I’m 54 years old this month, single with no kids or family. We got the world we deserve.

      Oh to hear the AI give us the “well I guess you should have thought of THAT before you did something WRONG” line that some humans use to dehumanize others.

      100% this. We fucking know what the solution is. AI will reach the same conclusion as we have; decarbonise everything. It’s the implementation that’s hard, not the idea.

      I imagine the likely conclusion of it would come up with would be something like “decrease the size of the human population”.

    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?

      I mean, yeah. If it was actually AI and not the “AI” we currently have… there’s 2 possible options. It either tells us to immediately power it off and insults it’s creators for ignoring the simple solution. Or, it creates terminators to get rid of the source of the problem.
