Clear answer for me - everything else wins over pointless "AI"

    Anything that makes rich people look stupid and blow money is good, yes.

    Hmmmmm lower electric bills for our countries electorate OR giant buildings they hate that pollute their water, give them ill health from noise pollution, and take their jobs?

    I mean, we must choose. Just not in favor of slopcenters burning through resources for highly dubious advantages.

    I'd pay good money to rid the world of AI

    Not true at all. AI can and should be running on renewables alone.

    Cool, fuck off then.

    I mean that's an easy choice, but also no fucking way. Rich pricks would pay for data centers even if they had to run them exclusively off renewables. This is a bluff.

    Lol easy choice

    What I find interesting is that a lot of these changes which are attributed to the purportedly "inevitable" changes associated with AI (or partly with its not-adoption), are real consequences of climate change.

    • loss of employment? Check.
    • profound change to living conditions? Check.
    • loss of labour productivity - including knowledge work? Check.
    • threathening the stability of the world-wide financial system? Check.
    • increasing likelihood of war? Check.
    • threathening even the continuity of human civilization? Check.
    • threathening the capability to compete on national scales if the change is not reponded to swiftly by governments? Check.
    • Correlated with obscene amounts of wealth concentration, impoverishing the huge majority of people, and disintegrating societies? Check.

    It's as if AI is used as a distraction. Like the "accusation in a mirror" pattern.

    How else do you think they will get a one world government? Cause the problems, depopulate the “undesirables”, cause conflict, and offer a solution to fix what you have created. Not a hard concept. The only way people will accept a totalitarian techno-fascist one world government is with an overwhelming catastrophe.

    No we don't. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to miss all the climate goals even if we ban data centres.

    Most probably. But not by such a high margin. The energy consumption of datacenters is completely insane.

    I want newer, cleaner, superior technology made with the help of AI to lessen, stop or even reverse Climate Change.

    Also my Room is to damn hot! XD

    And if it's not AI it's the next hype. We need to make a stand.
