Ehhhh… He’s not wrong. AI is going to be a bigger deal than all of those. ASI has the potential to fix those other issues or be an even bigger problem than any of them. One way or another, the world won’t be the same after it arrives.

Not the return of fascism? Antivax? Billionaires? Climate change disasters?
One of, but it’s a bit down the list, no?

AI is going to be a bigger deal than the extinction of the human race due to infinite amounts of corporate greed?
You think there is something MORE pressing than literal extinction? That’s quite something
thiseggowaffles@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Yes, because the extinction of the human race due to a catastrophic AI scenario could happen even sooner than climate change could kill us all.

That’s ridiculous. How would that even happen

What, is the AI going to dump a trillion tons of carbon dioxide into the air to cause a catastrophic runaway greenhouse effect, making huge swathes of the earths prime agricultural regions uninhabitable and forcing hundreds of millions of people to flee to other countries, emboldening fascist movements that seize on the fear of migrants and the strain on local resources, while increasing heat means more frequent super storms that destroy infrastructure while much of the global coasts are submerged, crippling international trade?

has advocated for stronger Church action against climate change, stating in a November 2024 seminar that “dominion over nature” should not be “tyrannical”
“A main issue” doesnt mean the only issue

AI use is tied to climate change, at least.
