> that climate change won't come under control. All signs point to this, or it's already reached a tipping point - certainly nothing we are already doing is reducing total carbon output, just slowing its acceleration. There was that one weird year in 2020 where emissions went down as the entire world stopped commuting - regardless of what you think about the realistic ability of new/unproven tech and regulations will be at preventing 3+ celsius change from industrial average by 2100 (catastrophe of biblical proportions) - if AI is indeed as critical to the economy/humanity's future as its proponents (marketers) say, the enormous amount of power and other resources that often don't get factored in, like the massive amounts of increasingly scarce water to cool the massive datacenters - will certainly make such efforts at reducing emissions extraordinarily unlikely, if not impossible, short of converting our entire power grid to sustainable energy, which there seems to be little to no political will for. It's grim, I'm extremely skeptical of optimism at this point on this particular topic. I am bracing for catastrophe at some point in my life (looking at the LA fires very near me, I would argue it's already here) and think the world governments would be wise to do so as well rather than pretend we're just going to magically figure it out at the last possible second. Not even to mention there are a lot of people, including people in power, who don't even believe climate change is happening at all. We're living in Don't Look Up.
