Imagine if we had not had any AI, we could be replacing bad energy sources and slowing down climate change. Instead, we get fancy text prediction and overall more famines and destruction. Yay....

The world's a downer, I get it and of course you're kind of correct. But let's still try to celebrate the small wins we do get! Maybe then we can have the energy to fight on until the next small...

Eh probably not. Most of the new solar installations are being built out because of new demand. If that demand wasn't there, it wouldn't have been built out nearly as quickly. We'd still get some...
Eh probably not. Most of the new solar installations are being built out because of new demand. If that demand wasn't there, it wouldn't have been built out nearly as quickly. We'd still get some solar, but not as much as if there wasn't so much demand for more electricity.
Overall, we're still worse off, but it's not entirely a total negative. And the good news is if the ai bubble ever pops and the demand goes away, we'll have a bunch of new renewable capacity already built out, sort of like how we had oodles of dark fiber already in the ground ready to be lit in the early 2010s due to the over buildout from the dot com boom in the late 90s.

And unemployment, don't forget that part. It's the reason the Epstein class is sinking so much money into AI to begin with.
It's a good video and also on Nebula
