So it's flawed to accuse lack of research when such research is heavily discouraged. It can only come from independent, fringe circles which they will be quick to dismiss for being independent and fringe.

It is flawed, circular logic: the population Ponzi scheme is one of the most sacred cows of the system: its sponsors and institutions mercilessly dismiss, demonetize and defame anyone who questions overpopulation and dares to suggest solutions for what they don't ever see as a problem.

This resignation requires to take the future peak population as an act of blind faith on a purely empirical basis. It does not even bother to consider whether the forces that will supposedly keep driving birth rates down are good or really bad.
On such weak grounds the stance is unacceptable.

The Forbes source is a an interview from August.
It is not actually a new, it's a lazy recycling of old material by Forbes to keep AI hype from drying up and IT companies stocks from going down.
But yeah behind this veil of warning Hinton comes off as a con man:

AI apologists love AI doom because it bolsters the appearance of current generative AI actually being useful for anything.
Is this godfather of AI doing it on purpose, secretly paid by OpenAI with more debt dollars to do his theatrical act?
If he is serious, what he has done to oppose AI?

Geoffrey Hinton says there is 10% to 20% chance AI will lead to human extinction in three decades, as change moves fast
“I like to think of it as: imagine yourself and a three-year-old. We’ll be the three-year-olds,” he said

This is particularly maddening, as if not only there exists a world where killer drones would be fine, but it is also the most likely one unless bad guys take over.
Bad guys are already the ones in charge and the ones ready to push the red kill everyone else button on the drone armies:

(WTF I missed the "not" in that sentence. Did not tried to argue at all for yet more population explosion, so edit)
I'm afraid that the voting system might be yet something more that only kind of worked as long as there was an expanding population pyramid. Hopefully there are middle solutions.

This is a huge issue that will actually put into test how much left and how little neoliberal Claudia Sheimbaum's government truly is.
There has been lot of can kicking along the road on it.

Mining is a mirage. Any wise society should ban it.
I've yet to see an example of a mining town or state which is not left much worse after years or decades of mining, let alone the depletion of the ore.
All is left is a poisoned land that cannot even feed its population.
