A meme in the "IQ bell curve" format. On the left, stupid wojak says "If we don't stop AI, it will destroy humanity", while thinking about rogue robots from Terminator. On the right, sage wojak also says "If we don't stop AI, it will destroy humanity", but he's thinking about massive energy requirements and carbon emissions associated with AI. In the middle, average intelligence wojak is in favour of AI: "Noooo AI will make our lives easier, we can automate so many tasks. Only a few more years and we'll achieve AGI, just wait and see. Surely this time a couple exajoules of energy spent on training will do the trick."
Don’t worry, they will figure out that without humans releasing gasses they have no purpose, so they will cull most of the human population but keep just enough to justify their existence to manage it.
Unfortunately this statement also applies to the 1%. And the "just enough" will get smaller and smaller as AI and automation replace humans.
There's something I don't understand that maybe other unicycle riders can explain to me. I can ride a unicycle and I can even juggle while riding one, but I cannot go more than 200 feet or so before my thighs completely burn out and I fall over. How do people use these things as actual forms of transportation?
Round about 2005 I was at a Hooter's with some friends and I noticed that their hottest wing sauce was named "911". As a joke, when our waitress brought out our food I pointed to that on the menu and said that I was offended that Hooter's would think to name a wing sauce after the attack on the Twin Towers, which I referred to as our "sacred tragedy". I figured she would just laugh it off but instead she got wide-eyed and said "oh no no no no no" and ran off to bring over her manager. The guy came over to our table and apologized profusely, saying that it was named after 911 the emergency call number and not 9/11 the terrorist attack. He comped our entire meal (over $100) and gave me four $50 Hooter's gift certificates as well. At this point I was afraid to say I'd just been kidding so I rolled with it. I still have those gift certificates somewhere - I didn't avoid using them out of guilt, Hooter's is just terrible food.
