@drahardja@sfba.social my compute is 99% zero carbon. You know that's possible right??

@drahardja@sfba.social The year is 2041, all the generations of AI datacenters have finally reached end of life, working on one problem how to fix climate change. The answer is 42. That is the year, where we will no longer perceive change. Or anything.

@drahardja@sfba.social Dave, you're on to something but you've yet to realize the gravity of our situation. There is no fixing runaway global warming. It's too late. We're stuck with today's CO2 concentrations. We're stuck with today's radiative forcing. That means we're stuck with a temperature increase of 4C per century. We _can_ avoid accelerating runaway global warming. We _can_ avoid making our current predicament worse, but there is no "fix". I realize the immensity of this information is far beyond what most people can come face to face with, but this is the gravity of our predicament. Furthermore, solar, wind and other "renewable" forms of energy generation are absolutely not anywhere near long-term sustainable. Those are just talking point for people who do not realize that we can not have 8.3 billion people and keep modern industrialized society intact and expect our species and life on earth to survive for very long. Solar and wind make sense if you only look at the damage from fossil fuels and you compare them to fossil fuels. They don't if you take a whole earth approach. We have crossed a minimum of seven major planetary boundaries. We absolutely need to stop burning fossil fuels and stop accelerating runaway global warming (or "climate change"). Nothing will survive if we go further beyond the other planetary boundaries in our quest to do that. #collapse #climate #climatechange #adulteducation

@drahardja@sfba.social @Gargron@mastodon.social I totally agree with 90% of this. We need to switch to clean, renewable power as quickly as possible. But “stop doing AI” is a pipe dream. It’s like telling Ford to “stop doing cars” in 1930. AI, like cars, has benefits as well as major environmental drawbacks. A realistic goal is to get AI to a point where it is heavily regulated and doesn’t take massive data centers and enormous resources to be useful, and I think that’s possible in a very short time if we elect the right people.
