AI is more energy efficient and faster than we are. If there is anything thinking needed to solve the problem, it's best to lean on AI.

- Hackbraten 2mo agoWe don't need AI to figure it out. It's been researched to death already. Go vegetarian, abolish fossil fuels, buy less. The problem is that way too few are willing to change their habits, and legislators have near-zero incentive to enact unpopular rules to help mitigate the problems. AI isn't going to change any of that.
- esafak 2mo agoProposing that all of humanity drastically change its habits is a theoretical, not practical, solution.
- convolvatron 2mo agowell, we managed to construct a narrative where everyone could only marginally change its habits. heat pumps, electric cars, solar panels, carbon taxes. things would have remained unchanged at the high level. but that was still way too much to ask. I'm afraid that if you insist on reducing the solution space to just 'it magically goes away and no one has to think about it', even the mighty AI might struggle. why don't fire up Claude and ask it?
- phs318u 2mo agoLol. Firstly, how we live now is far different to how we lived 100 years ago (people ate far less red meat than we do today for example). Secondly, how the bulk of humanity lives is inevitably going to change drastically. The choice we have is to do it voluntarily and perhaps control how it changes, or wait until core crops start failing in a big way and livestock die off due to prolonged drought and heatwaves.
