You know what would help this situation?
AI
Lots and lots of AI.
Also more religion.
Damn snowflakes. In our days we would have fixed that with a photoshop.
AI will totally develop to a point it comes up with a miracle solution that needs no change in lifestyle or social system. /s
I think AI will be really really useful for a lot of things. Not just LLMs for those that only see chatgpt as AI.
That being said, you're good damn right that no human progress matters when we aren't allowed to try a system other than "give everything we gain to the people who already have everything.
Technology has given us so much more ability to create and sustain, yet. Even people in wealthier counties have only had their standard of living standards or go down due to enshittification/instrumental convergence and lack of antitrust stopping growth-maximizing tumours from further monopolizing.
We can actually create reliable frameworks for a better society, with More responsive firm of growth that wasn't built hundreds of years ago when we didn't have a very good comprehension around some things.
Billionaires should not own the media. Billionaires should not direct text and science research. Billionaires should not be immune from accountability. Groups like the heritage foundation should have long been met with the violence currently being imposed on students, scientists, and actual journalists through the administration.
Making monopolistic power consolidating into a firm of free speech was already a final nail in the neoliberal coffin, splitting people between a fascist cult, people who still haven't realized that neoliberal performative faux progression is just a wing of the fascists, and both are furiously fighting the left, actual progressives, scientists, historians, and experts in living systems/epistemology, or the actual study of intelligence and what we've already been able to learn from it.
On the whole, we can actually conceptualize the proper way to balance systems in a way that appropriately improves the environment for literally everyone. Even billionaires would likely be more happy, just less able to treat the whole of humanity as a play thing.
Not enabling the richest asshole to casually decide a million+ of the poorest should go die because we need trillions in tax cuts for billionaires for some reason.
Unironically yes. AI would help us to change the climate
How?
Make it hotter, duh
When 10k more data centers are built, the climate will be way beyond the tipping point
So, helping for the worse?
I haven't said helping people, I said helping in changing the climate, or helping increasing shareholders' value or whatever
Oh, thank the merciful lord and saviour.
I was a bit worried that we were actually going to have to do something meaningful there for a second, phew!!
Anyway check out my new truck "the gas guzzler 4000"
Don't worry, it's super environmentally friendly since it's a hybrid and can drive for two miles on electric power!
Also let's concentrate most of the world's wealth into the hands of a handful of creepy psychopaths. That would probably solve everything.
The world needs more bond villains.
