Current technology is sufficient to greatly reduce climate change, there just isn't the political will to do it.

Obviously not every disease can be cured, but even diseases that were essentially gone are coming back because people have just decided they don't care anymore. There are measles outbreaks happening all over the place right now.

mRNA vaccines are a medical marvel and a significant portion of the population has been convinced that horse paste is a better solution.

There are enough resources available that poverty and starvation could be essentially eliminated or at the very least drastically reduced. We just don't do it because people would rather hoard wealth instead.

The technology is here, but too many people profit from not solving the problems

We could do all of those things with today's technology. They aren't technological problems, they are human problems

For how long? If OpenAI or Google (or Chinese companies) decide to keep losing money longer than them they'll pass them pretty soon.

The AI race is going to be won by whoever has enough money to burn to outlast competitors and I'm increasingly skeptical that's going to be Anthropic

Losing the jobs that we are required to have to eat and have shelter before there is a safety net is the problem. If we cede our jobs to AI they aren't going to be replaced with a life of leisure, they're going to be replaced with a life of poverty. If the safety net was put in place first we might have a very different conversation about it, but that's not the world we live in.

They will never sell a car with similar functionality to that demo to anyone

It is because he is very desperate for nerds to think he is cool so he lies and does PR stunts to that end and it works
