        Sounds same as always. Maybe they’ll do it now with a sense of urgency?

      i mean the global un is pretty good on it; it’s just that the larger world powers (especially the us every time they have a conservative who goes backward on it) tend to drag their feet on it

        I mean I don’t think it’s the UN’s fault they can’t get shit done about climate change, but I still wouldn’t use it as a model

        Also China doesn’t want to fix their shit. So they’ll always be a problem.

    I’d like to ignore it until it goes away too, but I don’t think that’s an effective strategy for either issue.

    Given the amount of electricity training and running all these LLMs requires, they might, like cryptocurrency, become drivers of climate change as they cause polluting generators to be built or unmothballed.

    So, do nothing for 40 years while it gets progressively worse and allow countries to sign useless feel good things like the Paris Agreement?

      Each one of these “initiatives” is just another 20 year delay in policy shift.

    “AI” is a scam that’s contributing to planetary destruction. But it’s nowhere near a problem on the same scale. This kind of political theater only fuels the “AI” BS.
