    I guess some people are genuinely concerned about AI wiping out humanity. Do not worry, that will never happen. We are already doing a fine job fostering our own extinction. If we keep going down our current path, those soulless robots will never even get the chance.

    Now, in truth, I do not know what will kill us first, but I reckon it is important to stay positive

      I mean it’s definitely helping, but not in the way I imagined. It is becoming a major driver of CO2 emissions due to the large computational power if needs, which will only increase in the future. The planet is boiling, and they will keep building more server farms for the next LLM upgrade, giving up on stopping/controlling climate change.

        Wouldn’t that be something: we choke to death trying to create a supercomputer to tell us to stop doing exactly that

        True irony
