   The other day I was arguing with a colleague, & I said that I thought 95% of the funds getting thrown at AI would be better spent strengthening infrastructure to handle climate change. He said “AI will fix climate change.”

   Now I think 100% of those funds should be redirected.

     @MishaVanMollusq @librarianshipwreck Knowing our world, if our LLM systems did explain how to solve climate change, we'd still probably say "Oh, well, that's not gonna happen." Someone would demand they be retrained too.

     Kinda like the implied ending to the song.
