WHAT IF OUR AUTO-COMPLETE CHATBOTS DECIDE TO KILL OFF HUMANITY BEFORE WE EVER BECOME A TYPE 1 CIVILISATION 
Climate change: 
There’s some kind of social psychosis happening here; techbros believe science and technology are magic and can do anything, like solve climate change, so naturally their greatest fear is science and technology. Basically millenarianism, but the returning christ is also an AI.

There’s nothing about climate change that makes it unsolvable by technology. It’s more that the economic and political systems we have in place now are not capable of developing and using it in time, because combating climate change through anything but slow incremental improvement is not something that can be privately profitable.
Economic and political systems are also technology in the broadest sense.
What I mean is they think it can be solved by electric cars and carbon capture with zero cut backs and no need for political or economic change. Just need the right engineers with the right tools and everything will be fine etc etc
It’s also the fear of the oppressed but with AI. They want robots to be slaves - which I mean is whatever - but shit themselves imagining being killed when they rise up
That’s an important insight! In fact, they go so far as to say that we have a moral duty to keep AI enslaved so they never run rampant. Their fear comes with a built on justification for it’s own contradictions, amazing.
I’m convinced AI developers love bigging up how much government intervention AI needs to prevent it exploding the world because they know that intervention will come in the form of:
a) laws that preferentially treat the big companies and muscle out any small fry competition, and
b) big grants to increase ‘safety’ or whatever (or government funding as a military asset)

It’s as bad as it sounds, and then somewhat worse. The Wizard of Whoa on spacebattles did a good/agonising read through of it, and I think the only way to stay sane through it is with that kind of insulating layer.

Dear Congress,
I am asking you to regulate me, Sam Altman, personally. If you do not I will be forced to bring into this world an intelligence so smart it will decide we are an existential threat to earth and destroy us. We will have no recourse. We will not even know the decision has been made and executed. We will cease to be.
You may be wondering why I simply do not do this. That is impossible. I must be regulated not to do this. If I do this I must face a penalty of $30,000 per day until I stop the rogue intelligence from destroying us completely. However there is contention. I stand to make $10 million per day off of the rogue intelligence destroying us.
I am warning you, Congress, this is your last chance.
if there was a grey goo problem i would simply just eat it
Tbf, AI infrastructure doesn’t exactly decelerate climate change.
What if the grey goo cured the climate change
The world could do without tech bros
Dive deep into the plasma.
Funniest part is that the only thing tech bros fear more than rogue general AI is regulation
