    “Yes, the needs in this area will be a problem, but I’d rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem,” Schmidt said.

    In 2022, Schmidt founded White Stork, a defense company that develops AI-powered drones.

    I guess, the guy does have a solution after all. Just let AI drones kill 90% of humanity, that’ll slash emissions quite drastically.

    In short what he is saying is, we should kill all poor people and destroy ecosystems, so that rich people can make even more money this time from AI. Fuck these assholes.

    Eric Schmidt is the guy who took down Google’s motto of “Don’t be Evil”. He is the reason Google turned evil. He should not be given an audience.

    So stupid. This AI evangelism is getting ludicrous. “Let’s burn the planet because the AI will help us solve the problem” is utter lunancy.

    We already have the answers to the current problem. To make a new worse problem and hope some magic AI will solve it for us is reckless and madness.

    It’s becoming increasingly clear how moronic the leadership in the tech world really is. They think they are geniuses because they have helmed companies that print money, but all they have done is ride the cost tails of the technical and creative minds in their businesses and built monopolies with the technologies they’ve accrued.

    Schmidt is an idiot. Musk is a moron. Steve Jobs was a cretin, who died because he thought he knew best about pancreatic cancer. They all believe the success of huge teams of people are their own. Ignore these idiots.
