Unhinged developers and AI; Sounds like a story we'll be seeing more and more

I notice that there is a huge difference in the attitudes of people who learned programming in childhood, compared to people who learned in adulthood. As someone in the former group, I find myself agreeing strongly with your assessment.

There is a lack of humility that is far too common, that manifests as a toxic attitude and bad spending habits. I see a similar issue with people in finance, and once the illusion fades such people are prone to suicide, as was the case in 2008.

And that my friends is how we handed control of government to machines

It's also worth pointing out that if you practise enough and with a little spare time you can do an dh key exchange with pen and paper. I look forward to the day when I am arrested for mathing too hard with random people in my neighbourhood (jk, there's not enough cops to arrest anyone anymore).

People just vote for him because he sounds funny, because the only thing the parliament is useful for is its entertainment value.

If you'd have read the article you would see that it has been used numerous times over the last couple of decades.

thaaaat is how the world works (that is how the world works)

It helps to realize when your panicking is going to create a worse disaster because you haven't accepted the current situation.

<huh, from what?

Why people insist on minimizing the fact that modern hyper-industrialized society (which people rely on to survive) is founded on cheap energy? Trying to execute degrowth at a pace and intensity that would be necessary for climate change to reduce the impact of climate change to the most ideal IPCC model would quite literally kill tens of millions in a year. Europe can barely deal with electricity becoming slightly more expensive.

>The kill count from not fixing the problem will be so much higher.

There is no scenario where the situation is fixed, there are only situations where it MAY be 'less disastrous', but it's entirely speculative.

We don't have until 2050, we have -15 years or so.

Faster than expected, Venus by Thursday.

>Humanity needs to act now.

And do what exactly? The kill count from shutting down all emission-producing parts of society would be enormous, and it still wouldn't be enough to keep global warming at a level that is habitable for a good chunk of people on the planet.

Net zero carbon by 2030 is a joke, literally nobody is on track to meet those targets and BOE will happen before then at the rate we're going anyway.

technology is always good, and if it's not good it's the users fault, and if it's not the users fault then it's society's fault and if it's not society's fault then you're just backwards and you want to die in a cave from pneumonia
