Anywho, happy #ClimateWeek to all who celebrate!!
"Virgin versus Chad" meme with a virgin "AGI existential risk" and the Chad "Global Warming". The AGI side has a thin robot with a beige computer monitor for a head and a red "Hal"-like light on display. The Global Warming side has an illustration of the earth with a flame sticking out and oil rigs on various continents, along with a Chad face. The AGI points are: - programmer LARP fantasy that makes coding the single most important skill for saving humanity. - fake and made up - entirely based on thought experiments - Zero evidence - assumes that there's this vaguely defined concept known as "intelligence" that can be linearly increased as if it were a mathematical quantity - projects an anthropomorphic drive toward control and power onto algorithms that just do statistics to spit out words; colonialist self-report - sponsored by billionaires who want to make their technology seem more important than it is - blackmails you from the future using faulty logic; doesn't actually make any sense - "oh no, i guess we have to build the Doom Machine now. i guess the course of technological progress is inevitable, oh well" The global warming points are: - incomprehensibly complex and interconnected polycrisis - reveals deep-rooted flaws with the dominant politico-economic paradigm; demands a fundamental shift of human value systems by its sheer physical existence - verified by the entire scientific community - billionaires don't want you to think about it because it is too scary - resists ideological simplification - will actually kill you - divine retribution for fossil capital's greed and wanton exploitation of the natural world - doesn't even need intelligence to threaten humanity's survival
