mawarannahr posted:listen to Zeke Hausfather, a contributing author to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and climate research lead at the payments company Stripe, and former chief scientist at C3.ai, which provides over 40 turnkey Enterprise AI applications that meet the business-critical needs of global enterprises in manufacturing, financial services, government, utilities, oil and gas, chemicals, agribusiness, defense and intelligence, and more.  I'm sure it's just a coincidence that out of the thousands of IPCC contributing authors, WaPo picked him to talk to.

Paradoxish posted:ER not being an op is almost too stupid to contemplate. It can make sense in a society with dumbass liberals They need something to pretend to care about but aren't actually going to look into it too hard or worry about it. It's basically a bike or hiking club for politics obsessed people so they just go around doing useless poo poo to make themselves feel better Painting your hands red and turning yourselves in fits with a West Wing view of the world where you get to deliver a Sorkin monologue to the boss of the cops or something it's definitely an op though because even if it was started earnestly the people in power are stupid enough to be worried about it and probably spent hundreds of millions on sabotaging an already useless organization

Paradoxish posted:ER not being an op is almost too stupid to contemplate. i mean that's the cool part of our current society: i could completely believe ER isn't an intentional op, and just the outcome of structures, organizations, and our culture that op-ifies anything vaguely threatening. like even if there's no puppet master pulling the strings, the puppets dance all the same of their own free will.

I always love the "we probably wont go extinct" and im like probably not. we managed to survive a probable population bottleneck of like 10k when when of the super volcanos popped. But humans struggled for tens of thousands of years after. PROBABLY WASNT A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE

Crazypoops posted:We'll be down to 10k and still have to drive to the office for some reason Being in the same physical space can make it easier to communicate and build strong working relationships. Being in the office helps employees stay focused and engaged with their tasks. You do want to build strong relationships, right? You do want to stay focused and engaged with your tasks? Regular face-to-face interactions can contribute to a sense of belonging, which can positively impact overall job satisfaction. Maybe you doomers would be less obsessed over the sky catching on fire, the end of wild life, broad desertification of the earth and the enormous amounts of recent human death if you reserved a hot desk, drove into the office for once and enjoyed a little collaboration, camaraderie and community. You're required to begin this starting 4 days a week next week. You cannot wfh on Mondays or Fridays. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to seeing your bright smile in the office!

the younger dryas bottleneck is going to look like a wet fart compared to the anthropocene mass extinction event lmao. we're doing so much better than that comet or watever. we're gonna go from 10 billion living humans to zero living humans at speeds that will seem implausible to xenoarcheologists.
