Millsy We’re all fucked. Right wing populism is back and it’s good for no one. People are just comfortable enough to not start a revolution.
nicksneddon Watching the democrats pretend that there’s some normalcy in what’s happening. I mean they’re standing in the same room where the incoming president’s attempted insurrection occurred four years ago. It’s so fucking ludicrous.
He’s also rescinded Biden’s Medicare act.

I won’t be missing any meals that is for sure.

Hursty Unless we come up with a tech solution that doesn’t currently exist (and that is possible I’d guess), it’s when, not if. Governments and their corporate overlords are doing nothing to solve the climate problems. AI is going to cause massive economic disruption in the near to medium term, climate refugees are going to be a thing, food shortages will undoubtedly occur, and there’s no plan to mitigate any of it.
Like I said, we’re fucked. Hopefully not in our lifetimes, but that’s not a guarantee.
Coronavirus 2 will solve a lot of this
Do you genuinely believe the world is fucked and we are imminently going to be doomed forever?
Does sound like pure hyperbole to scare the masses
There are obviously degrees of fucked. I don’t know about doomed forever, but clearly both climate change and AI are potential existential threats. How likely is that? I’m not sure anyone knows.
Given how we handled covid from a societal perspective, we don’t exactly seem positioned to deal with either short or long term threats in a coherent manner. Humans do well with immediate consequences, latent impacts just don’t move the needle on our behaviour.
