Doomer BS. Even if the worse case scenario comes to be, it will be a disaster, a mass extinction level catastrophe, but we will adopt and survive. Absolute, total, worst of the worst, like 10% of the world population dies.

lets say the potential worst case scenario is true and it happens. do you really like 1/10 odds of you or a family member dying?

  1. I don't think the probability of the worst case happening is very high at all 2)I don't live in a place that will be the most effected, which sadly are the places that contributed the least to the problem to begin with (mostly the developing world, that wouldn't have the resources to deal and adopt to the damage). So no, the odds of me or anybody that I know dying are not very high, becouse I was born in the right place. Also, if we do achieve an AGI that can do RND, I have no doubt we will develop better, more sustainable and much cleaner ways of generating power, growing food, and transporting stuff. Or if it comes much later, to the point where the worst in unavoidable, it will help us to limit the damage.

Any environmental expert, but you don't name any names how funny.

And yet you don't think AGI and ASI can fix climate change?

Doomerism isn't something new, humans love romanticize the idea of our imminent extinction.

And they have been wrong every time.

Oh that’s a softball.

IPCC says so.

IPCC represents more or less ALL of the climate scientists.

Their models are public, what are your models?

Also what is AGI / ASI gonna do? Magically suck the excess co2 out of the air? Conjure up more resources (water, metals etc)? Wave a magic wand and turn our degrading soil nutrient rich?

some of you seem to think that all our problems will be solved and we dont have to worry about x. Youre in for a shock when those problems do hit you like a ton of bricks

The AGI and ASI is much smarter than humans, if there is a way it will find it.

We humans are stupid the ASI will find solutions to anything we can think about.

I’m not saying it can’t do anything, but even the smartest ASI possible can’t break the laws of physics or do something that is impossible. and why are you so sure that it’l wanna do our dirty work? Why are we instantly saying A.I = slave? Imagine if you were created just to be an unpaid worker, how would you feel?

Anthropomorphising the ASI is stupid, sure it may behave like a human, but that is only if we program it that way.

Carbon is not toxic, it is just at the wrong place at the highest possible entropy state.

To reverse that entropy you need energy. And that energy has to be immensely plentiful and immensely dense.

The mass of carbon itself has absolutely no importance and whether polymerised and put back where it came from, or as biochar in the ground or even frozen at the poles will do.

So yes, AGI and fusion energy could start to do something about atmospheric carbon levels…

AGI could do something about anything.

By definition.

Singularity, the topic of this forum, means it could do anything about anything.

Name one that is optimistic

They are experts they are realistic, but climate change killing everyone? Nobody actually thinks that.

Most likely is a boring death to age.

That is why we need to extend our lives.

Ok maybe I exaggerated but i haven't seen a single expert say anything positive about the outlook

Mother Gaia wants us dead, so we are trying to build some other Gods to save us.

And it we succeed it is impossible they Will ever stop, this will literally change the fate of our Universe.

Whatever happens, this century will be the last.

How poetic is that :-)
