Former CEO, current inhumane grifter chud, Eric Schmidt, who has been featured in a recent series of "saying the quiet silicon valley executive thought out loud"

Not with that attitude, no... asshole! Unshackle AI companies? I'd rather guillotine them.

They know how to meet climate goals.

They're just not sure how to do it while keeping power centralised in the same hands that currently hold it.

Remember in the 00s and 10s when tech companies promised they could solve every single problem, then proceeded to make everything worse?

Eric can go fuck himself.

We made our planet uninhabitable but for a short time we created tremendous value for shareholders.

To be fair, they're only not meetable because Google refuses to meet them.

Everything's impossible when you don't give a shit

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.

Our kids get the world we deserve.

We know that we have to reduce pollution and that it presents an existential threat to our children. Why are we still listening to charismatic psychopaths when it comes to matters of science and engineering? He is not remotely equipped to competently answer this question from a technical or ethical point of view.

This vulture and his ilk have had their time, step aside old man.

"I love life on Earth... but I love capitalism more."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

have shares in AI companies?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Or… crazy idea but how about we just listen to what the experts have been recommending we do for years and actually implement some of it?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I feel like capitalists are waiting on some magic solution like some chemical we spray into the air or a miracle new fuel source.

The established suggestions from scientists (“fly less, stop buying SUVs/Trucks, eat less meat, consider a heat pump and solar panels” etc) doesn’t support the narrative that we can continue unabated infinite growth with no consequences.

AI solution = end humanity to save the earth

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

With AI being so energy hungry, why don't we feed this rich jackass into the incineration plant. I'm sure he could power one of his beloved AIs for a minute or two.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

I'm fairly certain we could ask AI right now if that's a good idea and it would tell us no

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I’ve seen this movie. It’s the one where AI determines we are the issue and initiates the “extermination” protocol.

Edit: With a dash of “Don’t Look Up”.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I can recommend the “zero” series 😁

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?
