Eric Schmidt recently said "we can't solve climate change so we might as well go all in on AI". since we can't prevent Eric Schmidt's eventual death shouldn't he be guillotined immediately?
What I hate so much about this is that even if the AI could solve the problem, it would just offer advice that has already been ignored for decades and would be ignored again. These people have wilfully destroyed the planet so that they can live like emperors. I dearly hope that there is some sort of cosmic retribution after death.
The answer would seem clear
I saw that take almost word for word from a fairweather leftist on this site.
I fucking hate inevitabilist arguments. They're less than useless, and if they were applied centuries ago they'd be "we can't end slavery so may as well expand it."
I forgot who, but it reminds me of that Fox News chud who said “eh, us humans had a good run! Let’s pollute the crap out of the world and go extinct! YOLO!”
One American Libertarian presidential candidate once said that the sun would envelop and destroy Earth in millions of years therefore climate change wasn't a problem. Similar vibes.
MFW Libertarianism (and pretty much all of right-wing ideology) is unironically just the Voluntary Human Extinction movement.
They’re not even protecting porky, they just unironically want us all to go extinct because they’re too lazy to clean up the mess they’ve made.
It's death cults with "I got mine" characteristics all the way down.
Idk, miz up there makes a pretty good inevitabilist argument.
