"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.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of supercomputer chip-maker Nvidia, has for years claimed that his company’s artificial intelligence products, as some of the most advanced scientific tools in history, will help the world solve climate change, warning last year that “climate disasters are now normal.”

Yet Huang is now loudly cozying up to U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, even though Wright is fully on board with the Trump administration’s climate denial policies.

A so-called “climate science” report Wright’s Department of Energy released in July has been condemned by scores of scientists as “biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policymaking.” The report is part of the administration’s effort to overturn the scientific basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions as pollution — the 2009 endangerment finding — under the Clean Air Act.

We already know how to solve climate change. The problem is not that we lack the technology, it's large scale denial of its existence and cultural backlash against any preventive measures. Even ones that cost nothing.

Certainly massive increases in energy and water consumption ain't solving anything.

It's not even that climate measures are costly, they're a net positive in the long run! But nobody is interested in the long run, because the filthy rich live in an alternate universe where they will live forever in luxury far away from the filth of the rest of us.
