But the other issue is the energy use n environment impact

 

[Comrade Khan]

What's the damage n cost vs the productivity increase

 

[Comrade Khan]

Much like Bitcoin it's a fucking disaster on the planet I'm p sure

 

[Chris]

I don't think we'll find that out until it's too late personally which probably already answers the question

Web 3.0 baybay

 

[Chris]

But like officially, we won't have clear studies done for decades and by then yeah what will be left

 

[Chris]

If we really wanna get bleak, my main solace is I don't think humans will destroy earth no matter the damage done bc we won't be the last species extinct, then it'll be a slow recovery from who's left

I'll be honest I don't forsee AI becoming all-consuming anytime in our lifetime, and even then I still think it'll end up being contingent on human control, where it can't really run on its own

 

[Chris]

But I've basically accepted that outcome as sad as that is, I just don't think and certainly hope it's not anytime near my lifetime, I'd like a good thousand or so years ya know

 

[Comrade Khan]

And no we won't terraform mars

 

[Chris]

yeah we're just in the boring, yet destructive stage not the cool sci-fi destructive stage

 

[Chris]

Which might be better in same ways I'll admit lol

I think we're less than 100 from global catastrophe myself. Don't think extinction level but beginning of the end. We're already past the point of no return
