name an american billionaire thats not a pos.

His megalomania is so boundless he would sacrifice the entire planet to make money.

Unhinged AI will solve anything human made by getting us killed. That will work very fast because there is no "human made" climate change when there is "no human".

I also hate how they went from "human made climate change does not exist so we can keep everything as it is" to "we can't meet the goals anyway so we can keep everything as it is" and how many people fall for it.

They want to keep their money and power at all cost and at this point I question more and more if we can take it from them peacfully. We have to take it to make a better world possible or even survival possible, because they will not be helpful ever.

AI: "The only way to solve climate change is to do what the scientists said 30 years ago. My existence is the flame that consumes the earth"

AI can’t solve shit.

"I know that it destroys our planet, but we shouldn't restrict my money generation machine" - person who wants infinite money

20 years later...

"It's too late now. You should've not dropped climate conservation and solved global warming without AI" - AI

"The goals humans made to save the Earth are too hard to reach while resisting any change related to those goals, so we should just get rid of them and let the planet become unhabitable"

"Be evil"

I think that if we ate the rich, we'd move closer to our goals.

We know that we have to reduce pollution and that it presents an existential threat to our children. Why are we still listening to charismatic psychopaths when it comes to matters of science and engineering? He is not remotely equipped to competently answer this question from a technical or ethical point of view.

This vulture and his ilk have had their time, step aside old man.

It's 2050. The sea levels have risen 3 metres. Hurricane season lasts 9 months of the year.

Eric Schmidt: ChatGPT 4zz++ Premium Elite, how do we solve global warming?

ChatGPT 4zz++ Premium Elite: I don't know, but I drew you as a minor being abused unprompted.

A hidden device implanted on our cortex at birth should detonate when we suggest something like "We should let corporations solve global warming."

If it turns out that we're actually truly past the point of no return and nothing we do will save our species, I don't think the response is going to be as passive as billionaires would like.

Former Google CEO's won't ever be immortal, so we might as well drop them off somewhere in the ocean and let them swim back. That should give them enough alone-time to figure out how to become immortal.

This is what happens when we do what CEOs want. We will make the world uninhabitable while getting murked by skynet.

We are officially in a prelude to a sci-fi story.

Break out the guillotines y'all

I just don't care anymore. I'm done fighting. I'm 54 years old this month, single with no kids or family. We got the world we deserve.

We made our planet uninhabitable but for a short time we created tremendous value for shareholders.

inb4 they switch the super AI on to solve climate change and it says to switch the super AI off to solve climate change

I'm fairly certain we could ask AI right now if that's a good idea and it would tell us no

How do idiots like that end up in positions of authority over companies?

We don't need AI to solve climate change; it's already been solved, decades ago. These billionaire fucks have just been too greedy to put the plan into action.

Possible translation: "Let the wealthiest among us consolidate even more wealth while we wreck shit for the rest of you. We'd like to have complete control over you rubes while shit gets worse."

ETA: This is exactly the same rhetoric that oil and gas companies (and the politicians who've effectively been bought out by them) have used to justify further expansion well after knowing the danger that this poses.

We used a small tons worth of electricity to come up with the idea that we should pump less co2 into the atmosphere
