Political will to address global warming in a genuine way. Fast-forward like 50 years and imagine talking to someone.

"So, you knew it was going to be like this?"

"I mean, kind of. People said it might happen."

"All this death? Losing so much of the planet? We reorganized our whole society, what's left of it, just around trying to heal the damage the best that we can. But you had the chance still with all the infrastructure functioning. You had money, you had organization, you had technology and resources. Why didn't you do something?"

"I mean, we had some programs."

"No, I mean you. Why didn't you do something? Did you do just like everyone else and keeping driving around and showing up for work?"

"Well, I had rent..."

"... Brazil's gone. Central Africa's gone. Nothing usable grows below the arctic circle, and the weather makes it tough down there anyway. We live here, and it's okay, but we're always hungry. Always. You see me. I'm hungry right now, I ate yesterday, but I'm hungry."

"..."

"You had rent? ... What are your kids' names? I can check in the system, I can see if they made it or not, where they are if they're alive."

About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.

  10. (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.

!auai@programming.dev (Our community focuses on programming-oriented, hype-free discussion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) topics. We aim to curate content that truly contributes to the understanding and practical application of AI, making it, as the name suggests, “actually useful” for developers and enthusiasts alike.)

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.
