"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Isn’t the whole reason we know global warming is a problem because of academics?

The funny thing is, academics did make the world aware that global warming was a problem but all the fearmongering did nothing to actually solve the problem.

What did solve the problem, however, was China subsidizing solar energy for 20 years to make it economically viable and cheap enough for the rest of the world to install it. And i guess they did so not for climate protection reasons, but for reasons such as energy independence, energy security, jobs programs, etc.

But how do you get here without people being intelligent?

I could tell you that incentive structures and power dynamics have to allow a good solution to materialize before it can, but an uneducated person couldn't.
