Do I need to remind you that the internet needs data centres to function? At least make an attempt to be sensible about this and take the position that production of them should be paused to assess AI risk instead of saying absurd things like that. |
Sure, if you want AI to access nuclear weapons and kill us all, which is more of a possibility than ever.
Even if that doesn't happen, data centres aren't ecologically OR economically sustainable. They won't even bring in enough new jobs to justify their construction. I don't see any possibility of AI not needing oversized, toxic and wasteful data centres, not even in the next few decades. Most of us won't even be able to survive because of the pollution or poverty brought on by AI.
This won't be an AI future of hope like Mega Man Battle where there are AIs actively helping people, but one of humanity's extinction like in The Terminator.
