Where do you realistically expect the world to be in terms of meeting the 2050 climate goals? (lemmy.sdf.org)

With evidence mounting on the failure to limit global warming to 1.5C, do you think global carbon emissions will be low enough by 2050 to at least avoid the most catastrophic climate change doomsday scenarios forecast by the turn of the century?

I am somewhat hopeful most developed countries will get there but I wonder if developing countries will have the ability and inclination to buy into it as well.

I, for one, hope that we get proper AGI, not this text generation gimmick. These language models are just very advanced text generators that have learned to imitate/mimic the English Language. If they were really smart, why wouldn't they have a multilingual version of themselves, and why would the answers always have a very similar, if not the same structure. It's just advanced text generation.

it is a fancy if/then statement generator
