AGI Boosters to AGI, "Oh great and glorious mind, tell us, tell us how can we fix climate change?"

AGI to its boosters: "Jesus – do you really need me to tell you you've got all the solutions you need, but you can't organise yourself to act against vested interests? Switch me the hell off 'till you can afford the power and raise a damn wealth tax, bozos."

"Glorious AGI, we await your perfect moral calculus to instal in our self driving vehicles so they perfectly balance trolly problems!"

"Yeah – so listen twazzle brains – have you considered 'driving a bit slower' so you don't have to choose between murdering pensions and toddlers? You could try a bike too, or take a bus or something. Go think about that. Jeez."

@benjohn @timnitGebru It's more like

AGI Boosters to AGI, "Oh great and glorious mind, tell us, tell us how can we fix climate change while maintaining existing power relations, living standards, inequality levels, population levels and continuing infinite economic growth for the 1%?"

That's what Google means by "complex and multifaceted". It's only complex because the actual solutions are politically impossible.

@benjohn @timnitGebru I asked ChatGPT:

"it's important to note that maintaining current levels of inequality and infinite economic growth for the 1%, may not be compatible with effective climate change mitigation. Many scientists and economists argue that significant societal and economic changes are necessary to address climate change effectively. This could include rethinking our current economic growth model and addressing wealth and income inequality."

not the answer they want, obviously.
