"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If you think hard about it....
in 100 years, by all experience the current wars will be so irrelevant that nobody will even bother to piss on the current warmongers graves. They will be mostly forgotten.
In 100 years, our today's leaders inactivity on imminent climate destruction - and transitively, our collective inaction - will be daily cause for deep desperation and the darkest curses which childs of the human race have ever uttered. For what we know sufficiently, people will likely witness the disintegration of our current technical civilization. Because 3 degrees warming is way too much for a technical civilization to survive.
Maybe because of my lack of expertise in history, but I can´t imagine find any example in history of such epic stupidity. Remember that qualitatively, we know exactly what will happen.
First of all, everything you described is coming much sooner than that. Divide it by five and even that's conservative imo.
It seems like maybe you have a fundamental misunderstanding of why climate change is going to kill us. Being a "technical civilization" isn't relevant to whether we survive it or not. We're talking about ecological collapse, and conditions that the human body literally cannot survive in. Like physically incapable. "Technical civilization" or not.
You mean in a decade, what with crises getting worse much sooner, as even some wealthier countries are starting to literally feel the heat. Civil disorder is not an impossibility.
