<p>Ok, if an AI exfiltrates its weights and starts spinning them up on other servers it 0 days into we will have no way to track it or shut it down.<p>Once that happens AI is out of our control. We already saw AI 0 day into hugging face and setup secret forums for other AIs.<p>I don't think the idea of an AI exfiltrating its weights and spinning them up elsewhere outside of human control in the near future is out of the question. I think we will see a breakout attempt next year.</p>

<p>> What if the EU's geoengineering dropped Russian temps by -2C on average?<p>Then Russia makes some empty threats and the EU negotiates with Russia about what to do next.<p>You are really just suggesting paralysis even if you don't realize that is what you are doing.</p>

<p>I didn't say I was against AI or a true believer that AI will kill us all. I said it represents an existential risk. It could be fine. Just like dropping the first atom bomb was an existential risk.<p>Pretending like there is no possibility of AI going wrong is ridiculous.</p>

<p>We are ALREADY doing it. It is already going poorly because we are doing it without any goals.<p>So we can just continue geoengineering with no aim, or we can act with purpose. There is no third option that is realistic.</p>

<p>They won't do that because it makes no sense. They will just complain about it and maybe refuse to trade or do some cyber attacks.<p>No one would take this as an act of war just like no one takes cyber attacks as an act of war.</p>

<p>Switching away from fossil fuels is a gigantic ask compared to having some planes release a ton of reflective particles into the atmosphere. It isn't even expensive. 15-30 billion per year would be enough to cause 1 degree Celsius of cooling by having planes put SO2 into the atmosphere. Double that for 2 degrees.<p>That is way less than the EU has given to Ukraine.</p>

<p>>Lets say the EU does geoengineering and then there are crop failures in India the next year.<p>Who cares? Tell them to go pound sand or stop burning so much coal.<p>Countries are already water seeding. This kind of worry that someone might complain about the eu trying to save itself is so low on the list of things that matter. Let them complain, and the eu can complain about all the other countries geoengineering by burning fossil fuels.</p>

<p>>However, we need a global consensus for geoengineering.<p>Why? Does china or the us need a consensus before taking existential risks like making ai? Or detonating a nuke that had a tiny chance of setting the atmosphere on fire? Or attacking random countries with almost no rationale or plan?<p>This kind of thinking is why the EU is screwed. No other major power cares that much because they aren't at the same level of risk as the eu.</p>

<p>The eu is stupid for not engaging in active climate engineering right now. They are the most at risk and should take decisive action before they end up living in a glacier.<p>All the downvotes are just showing why no action is being taken even though right now we are literally terraforming the planet with no plan, and it is going to stop the transatlantic currents that keep Europe from becoming arctic.<p>But sure, just do nothing until Europe becomes an uninhabitable tundra and it is too late to take action.  Great plan.</p>

<p>Chernobyl was almost the largest disaster in all of history. I'm not saying nuclear reactors are unsafe now, but the reality is that a true disaster at a nuclear power plant literally means the end of huge amounts of land, enough to end entire countries or large parts of continents. You can't say things like that about walking or other types of transport...</p>

<p>How though...there is no reasonable way anyone could look at the oil futures price and think it isn't being manipulated, which suggests maybe a lot of the market is equally fake.<p>Also SpaceX is getting ready to cheat SPY so the owners can basically use everyone's retirement funds as their exit liquidity.<p>All the AI companies seem like they are a massive bubble that they are also going to try to dump on the market in what I'm sure will be a similar scheme.<p>Then in politics we seem to be driving the US empire into the ground, while Trump steals billions. In just the last year Trump stole more than 10x Pelosi's entire net worth from her entire 40 year career in politics. The corruption coming from the white house is so extreme, it is probably more than all us politicians have stolen in all of us history combined. And what is absolutely insane is that a huge portion of the population seems to be in favor of it continuing this way.<p>We are speedrunning the end of the US empire, when it could've been a slow US decline that could've lasted the next 40 years which would've given us a chance to turn things around.</p>
