Right, let's solve our biggest problem by unfettering capitalism, and definitely will not just further concentrate power and wealth.

Former CEO, current inhumane grifter chud, Eric Schmidt, who has been featured in a recent series of "saying the quiet silicon valley executive thought out loud"

That 'quote' on the title is not even remotely accurate.

We’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we’re not organized to do it — and the way to do it is with the ways that we’re talking about now — and yes, the needs in this area will be a problem. But I’d rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem if you see my plan.

AI solution:

Not with that attitude, no... asshole! Unshackle AI companies? I'd rather guillotine them.

AI will not find a magic solution. Besides, we already have quite a few directions that would help, but we're not acting on them. Pilling more "solutions" over them won't change that.

This really sounds like the parody of rich people that think they can eat and breath safely as long as they have money, the rest of the world be damned.

Well this is the most dumb thing I've read all morning

Isn't this a fairly standard sci-fi plot?

AI: Kill humans off, problem solved.

I have a better idea. Let's drop climate conservation, use a load of fossil fuels to fire him in a rocket directly into the sun! Then, resume climate conservation.

These ppl just want poor people to die and be served by robots, it's never gonna work plus we'll bring them with us

This is escapism. Escapism that makes him money.

AI solution = end humanity to save the earth

He just wants to run his ~~AI datacenters~~ gold mines, climate be damned. And looks like he himself sees AI as some kind of magic bullet, typical exec syndrome.

The climate goals are meetable.

If we want to.

Unless AI forces us to do stuff that we know for decades to be necessary, nothing will change, except a massive amount of additional energy that we need to power the AI.

AI Datacenters are on course to consume an increase in power more than the current consumption of the nation of Japan.

AI already consume more power than crypto.

They're the opposite of a solution to climate change, they're a slow fire that will consume all.

And what have the LLMs produced? Jack fucking shit: just a lot of IP theft, research fraud, and worsening customer service.

When these weirdos get older they always stop giving a shit about anyone but themselves or more to the point they stop pretending they ever cared for anyone else.

Resolution: compost & remediate ~~schmidt~~ shit. Avoid smearing ~~shit~~ schmidt on everything.

Putting it in a bunker hasn't helped it return nutrients back to environment effectively.

Unshakeable AI companies so reprehensible characters like himself can profit from unchecked societal demise more like.

This is like Satan saying "We're not going to be able to deal with mass corruption. Just burn everything. That's the solution."

That's an interesting idea... Satan...

Eric and his dumbass wife Wendy need to move on. Nobody wants you meddling rich fucks around anymore.

"Clearly we're not going to solve this, so just let us destroy the biosphere so we can be slightly richer when we die before the consequences of our actions are realized"

I would be overjoyed if AI solved the coordination problem that's protecting him.

Think a bit before you talk. Hard for all of us!
