  • Not to diminish any particular arguments, but this is how these conversations always play out in my view:

    Stop burning fossil fuels.

    But we are in overshoot.

    Yes

    But we won’t be able to keep up agriculture.

    Yes

    But we won’t be able to keep up industry

    Yes

    But we won’t be able to keep up consumerism

    Yes

    But people will die.

    Yes :(

    But the rich will loses their riches

    Yes

    but but but

    It doesn’t matter what the cost is, that’s the solution. The rest is simply consequence - and it grows greater by each day we ignore it.

    Just because an ask is nigh impossible, does not mean that it is foolish or that it comes from ignorance.





  • Hm. Maybe I’m missing something but I’m not seeing a million ‘successful’ AI startups pop up overnight like during the Dot Com Bubble. Most of the AI investments I’ve seen have been from major corporations that can pivot and eat a little loss. I do see several resume and business-plan writing services but it just doesn’t seem like much of a parallel, to me.

    The article doesn’t address this disparity, it just pretends like it’s an equivalency - citing only megacaps like GOOG, MSFT, etc. Clickbait headline, I guess.
