Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that AI is advancing so fast, and requires so much energy, that there is no way to keep up with climate goals.

Or…and hear me out…maybe instead we blast AI data centers with these Jewish space lasers I keep hearing about and leave the land to return to nature? Just spitballin’.

That’s a serious dickhead. Others may try but this guy delivers a master class.

I guess Google really did just change their motto to ‘be evil’

There’s a danger when you advocate abandoning all hope of survival and you haven’t yet figured out immortality for yourself.

“we gotta find SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW to justify all this AI garbage or it’s gonna tank the company.”

That would make sense if we were all going to blink out of existence*, but we’re going to still be here, with raisable and lowerable levels of suffering.

“My toe is already stubbed, no reason not to cut both my legs off”


*actually no it wouldn’t because AI is still a massive threat even without the climate getting worse from it.

Fuck You, Eric.

If we are all going to die by our stupidity anyway, we might as well speed up the process so our last moments will be with better AI to generate more realistic porn images.

I mean, the survival of the planet might be important to some, but the profits of mega corps is more important. Billionaires need to figure out how to travel to Mars so they can chill there before the earth turns to Venus. They need our money for that, and AI to replace annoying poor humans when they live in their Mars mansion.

That’s a stupid reaso, but I’d buy: we should go all in on ai data centers since that’s a new economic sector that we can dominate, plus it’s less polluting than lusting after a coal industry that never was or steel that never will be again
