    If only all choices were this easy! Choosing between AI and climate goals is like choosing between a shit sandwich with a side of barbed wire spaghetti vs a gourmet meal.

    And they expect us to choose data centers? Fucked up. And our elites are corrupt enough to do just that …

      Bezos literally said that once AI is good enough, it will solve all our problems.

      That’s what they believe, or at least want us to believe.

        Bezos: “it will solve all our problems.”

        Wow.

        That is not optimism - it is religious fervor.

        That has become a religion, or it might be more apt to say, a cult.

    Slop machines that make everything horrendously expensive or self-preservation? Hmmmm. I know which I would choose.

    Give the planet over to a probability matrix which is based on the collective works of lifeforms (us) who require that planet to survive…

    OR choose to keep surviving and creating your own works, on that planet.

    Just for my synapses, currently fried under this heat dome, the question boils down to this: would I rather suffer a bit more for the sake of AI, or for the prospect that things might actually get better on this planet again? So, it’s a straight-up choice between selfishness and the collective good - and well, we know just how brilliantly those kinds of questions work out for our species :/

    Ok, but think about all the profits the ai companies are making, and all the tax revenue they will pay to fund healthcare, social security and public schools! /s
