The optimist in me sees AI as a path to fusion thus having the energy to undo at least some of the damage done via co2 sequestration etc.
The pessimist in me sees every other outcome
- wrl 3mo agoHow exactly is AI a "path to fusion"?
- Marha01 3mo agoAdvanced AI could be very useful for science and engineering tasks. AI-accelerated fusion R&D will achieve success sooner than without AI.

Designs require advanced simulations which benefit from AI both in building the simulations and running them. 3. Material science benefits from models learning how particles interact and materials behave in certain conditions so we can predict which materials are worth producing. These are odd the top of my head and I'm not a fusion physicist. There's probably a lot more examples.
- sandeepkd 3mo agoThere is a somewhat of organic path to it. Keeping the feelings of optimism or pessimism aside, destruction is a part of any cycle. The good thing is, there is this inherent self sustaining nature of the species and it would use the second opportunity better after such an event.
