Always with the poor countries. How does he know this won’t totally wreck poor countries ?
Climate change is going to absolutely ruin poor countries long before they need an AI doctor which gives false information.
Meanwhile wheat does he think these AI doctors run on ? Air?
Fossil fuels.
- dukeofdoom 4y agoJust curious how many poor countries you have visited?
- ChatGTP 4y agoMore than you might actually realize. Even though I've seen a lot of poverty, I always laugh when I see Bill Gates speak of "poor" countries, because they're often the richest in love and warmth.
- dukeofdoom 4y agoNot an answer. Is this a bot account? Bill Gates buys waterfront property while preaching about rising water levels.
- anon7725 4y agoPerhaps try responding to the content instead of making an ad-hominem attack on the poster. Whether or not they've ever visited a poor country is not relevant to their statement.
- dukeofdoom 4y agoI disagree, very relevant. One must be able to question Crystal Ball weather pattern experts, proclaiming they know what's best for poor countries.
- palata 4y agoTo be fair, rich countries tend to rely more on fossil fuels than poor countries, as the GDP is related to energy. So the end of fossil fuels will probably wreck rich countries, too. Especially given that no country is remotely getting prepared for that.
- gwoolhurme 4y agoI think that is true but rich countries are in a position to transfer to clean energies where as poor countries will still use fossil fuels unless they get cheaper alternative that is stable.
- palata 4y agoThat's what we like to think, because it's reassuring ("tech will save us"), but that's very, very far to being proven. Right now we can develop photovoltaic and wind farms in a world that has a lot of fossil fuels. But remove the fossil fuels today, and everything collapses. The question is therefore: can we transition to clean energy before the end of fossil fuels? And the answer is really not clear. Actually it seems more likely that we cannot transition: we will probably have to do with less energy. Which in turn means that all the tech projects that try to replace "unlimited fossil fuels" by "unlimited clean energy" are just counting on the fact that somebody will solve the problem for them. What's the point of having electric sports cars if we don't have enough energy to use them? AI is in the business of doing more with more. Chances are that we will have to do less with less.
- ChatGTP 4y agoAI is in the business of doing more with more. Chances are that we will have to do less with less. We won't though because of the same trope Bill Gates et al regurgitate...this tech will solve all the problems, poor people need it... What's a shame we need to rush everything, it's a shame couldn't have just done less with less for longer, built more efficient understandable systems and just enjoyed the ride a little more.
- gwoolhurme 4y agoThat is kind of what I thought about my self. I don't see how AI-driven improvements will help poorer countries. I don't think it will wreck them, but if things don't solve Climate Change and if richer countries don't subsidize poorer countries... I don't see anything really positive out of AI, but maybe my imagination is really bad.
- ChatGTP 4y agoMy prediction, ChatGPT-4 will be another massive time waster, even if it is a productivity booster, humans will just be more engaged with it, talking to it about silly things and distractions and nothing will be done to further solve most real world problems.
