But bill gates says not to worry about it, because ai will solve the climate disaster it's creating. -_-
He was also claiming AI would destroy us a few years ago. (Not talking about climate, skynet style)
Side note: listening to him is as bad as listening to a celebrity.
Maybe worse, since society considers him a SME on subjects he isn't, she they listen to his word as though it's coming from an actual SME.
It's not creating a climate disaster, just amplifying the existing one.
All we gotta do is ask chatgpt how to fix it. Ezpz
Tech could save us, but not AI. The tech that could isn't profitable enough to do so, though, so it's not happening. And it's not like oil corp. shareholders & execs are gonna accept a pay cut so that their subsidies could be redirected to more ecologically sustainable tech. Nope, we live in capitalist hell. At least, until we don't.
I'm cheered that we now have so much wind and solar wanting to come online that it's straining grid interconnects so countries (US and NL for example) suddenly have to spend a bundle on infra so that the power can get across continents to where it's needed
this is a very cool problem to have: oh no! we have too much new clean energy!
it may not be sufficient, but it's an excellent start

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
