The claims that AI will itself solve the problems it creates are I think my favorite variation of this. I think it was Eric Schmidt who recently said well sure breakneck AI spending will accelerate climate change but then we'll have AI to solve it. Second cousin to Altman saying it will solve "all of physics," I suppose... and actually he said "fixing the climate" right before that.
- agentultra 2y agoIndeed. The delicious irony is that we know how to solve climate change. We’re simply not doing enough about it.
- moi2388 2y agoThat’s not too much of a stretch. The standard model already has solved almost all of physics. Only a few edge cases remain.
- Intralexical 2y agoEdge cases like 85% of the mass in the universe, and 95% of the mass-energy.
- moi2388 2y agoThat’s a misnomer. We know what probably causes the mass energy, it’s the cosmological constant. It only regards 68% of the energy density currently. Same for dark matter. There are a few hypothesis, but all in all they are pretty simplistic cases. We know the particles, the forces, there is not really “new physics” to be discovered here. All the interactions anybody can encounter in their lives is fully understood.
