inb4 they switch the super AI on to solve climate change and it says to switch the super AI off to solve climate change
We used a small tons worth of electricity to come up with the idea that we should pump less co2 into the atmosphere
Let's unshackle him from his wealth and use that to help meet climate goals.
Obviously this statement underscores the fact that Google has too much power. Break those motherfuckers up!
I have a better idea. Let's drop climate conservation, use a load of fossil fuels to fire him in a rocket directly into the sun! Then, resume climate conservation.
Right, let's solve our biggest problem by unfettering capitalism, and definitely will not just further concentrate power and wealth.
Not with that attitude, no... asshole! Unshackle AI companies? I'd rather guillotine them.
Unshackle their head from their shoulders.
The climate goals are meetable.
If we want to.
Unless AI forces us to do stuff that we know for decades to be necessary, nothing will change, except a massive amount of additional energy that we need to power the AI.
AI will not find a magic solution. Besides, we already have quite a few directions that would help, but we're not acting on them. Pilling more "solutions" over them won't change that.
This really sounds like the parody of rich people that think they can eat and breath safely as long as they have money, the rest of the world be damned.

Former CEO, current inhumane grifter chud, Eric Schmidt, who has been featured in a recent series of "saying the quiet silicon valley executive thought out loud"
Isn't this a fairly standard sci-fi plot?
AI: Kill humans off, problem solved.
When these weirdos get older they always stop giving a shit about anyone but themselves or more to the point they stop pretending they ever cared for anyone else.

AI solution = end humanity to save the earth
He just wants to run his ~~AI datacenters~~ gold mines, climate be damned. And looks like he himself sees AI as some kind of magic bullet, typical exec syndrome.
