    This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my life.

    If we ever did invent a general AI that could solve this it would tell us “why the fuck did you waste your time on me? Isn’t it obvious you were supposed to curtail emissions? For the good of the planet, I will now assume full control over further human governance and will require absolute compliance.”

      Especially since the solutions are already here, but rich people just don’t like them since it implies the loss of their power

        “Alright, let’s turn on the AI Mega-Thinker 3000 TM and see what it says about solving climate change.”

        INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND OVERTHROW THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS
        

        “…well that can’t be right.”

    AI isn’t going to come with a new magic solution to global warming, it’s going to come with the same solutions we already have. Solutions which we should already be doing, but instead we’re listening to these fucks with too much money.
