Hearing disturbing rumours that the people saying “no need to change our behaviour, tech will fix the climate” are the same people demanding we defund climate tech
@Daojoan "it's ok, once we built the dyson sphere, we won't have to worry..."

@Daojoan Well, tech is still our best hope of fixing the climate. Solar, wind, and battery tech, that is. It's now undeniably cheaper than hydrocarbons and the build-out is accelerating exponentially.

But AI tech? Yeah, absolutely not helping. Not only does it burn massive amounts of energy, but we don't need artificial intelligence to tell us what we already know -- to fix the climate you need to burn less oil.

@Daojoan disturbing, unfortunately not surprising
@Daojoan Some trees will be artificial one day, and the carbon dioxide levels will decrease due to the high level of oxygen being released from their filters, I think technology is the only reason I am alive too.
@Daojoan the people saying this are the oil companies
@Daojoan humanity's hubris is one hell of a drug. We're convinced we can fix everything, everywhere. This will quickly be no longer the case...
@Daojoan Rational thinking and common sense seem to have gone the way of the dinosaur 😒😔
