JWcph, Radicalized By Decency

"The fact that the only way that AI investors can recoup their investment is by turning us all into reverse-centaurs is not our problem. We are under no obligation to arrange our affairs to ensure their solvency. In 1980, Margaret Thatcher told us, “There is no alternative.” In 1982, Bill Gibson refuted her thus: “The street finds its own uses for things.”

I know which prophet I’m gonna follow." - @pluralistic

The idea of popping the bubble is appealing

I suppose they are going to want another bubble, a different bubble.

@pluralistic @revphil @jwcph Of course, the AI bubble has major, real world environmental consequences. Fossil fuel power plants are being planned and built based on predictions of massive increases in electricity demand. These companies are also citing increased demand from electric vehicles, which is 10-15 years away in most of the US, if it comes at all.
