Not to mention that if we didn’t give up on global warming, that would have slowed down AI development, giving more time to prevent AI doomsday.
Well we haven’t given up on global warming since we still devote trillions of dollars into climate change solutions plus the rapidly growing clean energy transition that’s overtaken gas in power generation. But I understand the main point-which is that AI and climate change are linked problems, so ignoring climate change to focus on AI is kinda impossible since data centres are a big warming contributor
“Many other catastrophic panics in the past have been just fearmongering,” he added.
Heyyy, he’s self aware!
“I agree with president Trump’s tweet that global warming doomsday scenarios were overplayed,” he told Fox’s Sean Hannity. “It’s a very slow process. We’re talking about doomsdays — completely absurd.”
”The reason this is unique is AI is moving so incredibly quickly, we won’t have time to respond to it before it’s too late.”
The speed of the event doesn’t disqualify its seriousness? Climate change is still a very big deal even if it’s moving slower than the awakening of the Robot God. Also, AI developing “incredibly quickly” is still mostly bullshit because we STILL haven’t gotten anything the big tech companies promised
Gotta say, the climate change denier/AI doomer combo never ceases to baffle me
